High Echelon, P.C. is a nationwide CPA firm based in Atlanta, Georgia.

CPA work is in Michelle’s blood. She follows in the footsteps of her father, Robert ‘Bob’ Fendrick, who owned and managed his own public accounting firm, Fendrick & Associates, for 25 years.
Michelle named the company after her grandfather Jerry Fendrick’s Thoroughbred horse, High Echelon. High Echelon won the 1970 Belmont Stakes, one-third of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.
