Who We Are

Julie Stead Partner

Julie Stead

Partner

Julie graduated from the University of Washington in 2004 with a Masters' Degree in Public Accounting. She achieved her CPA in 2005 and spent the first several years of her career working in public accounting before migrating to this industry. She has been a part of the Turning Point team since 2011 in the Financial/CFO Advisory Group.

Julie’s primary focus is with clients that are struggling with cash flow or profitability issues, whether due to revenue growth exceeding capacity or market retraction. She teams up with the CEO to help them understand their financial situation and cash flow restraints, forecast for the future, and find solid ground. Through the thorough review of processes and procedures, Julie helps ensure accuracy in financial reporting and improve efficiencies for her clients.

Julie lives in Gig Harbor with her husband, daughter, and twin boys. She is an avid ultrarunner, her longest distance (so far) being the completion of the White River 50-mile race near Mount Rainier. She is an outdoor enthusiast, and enjoys camping and hiking with her family in the summer, and snowboarding and snowshoeing in the winter.

  • "To have a team that has built a robust model, has done the work, and can speak eloquently and intelligently to investors is pretty solid. I shudder thinking of where I would be without the Turning Point team."

    — Max Baker, Founder & CEO of ILLUMAGEAR

  • “Working with Turning Point was transformational for Wimmer Solutions. They went beyond the numbers to create a mind shift change and, as a result, our finance function is not as fragile as it was. The Turning Point team was driven by data, quickly understood the personalities involved, and created accountability to get us to a significantly better place financially. They instilled confidence immediately and have remained trusted advisors.”

    — Matt Sauri, Wimmer Solutions

  • “As a company, we were at a crossroads when we hired Turning Point. We had grown beyond our ability to control operational efficiency but didn’t have the resources to hire a full-time CFO. Revenues were up but the additional business was not growing our bottom line. We did not have the in-house expertise to manage the complexities brought on by our growth. We did not have a financial reporting system capable of helping us pinpoint our problems.”

    — Dean E. Wilson, CEO, King-Electric
