Haynie is proud to announce the promotion of four team members to partner: Mitch LaMoreaux, CPA; Ryan Wells, CPA, MBA; Kodi Mortensen, EA; and Craig Lewis, CPA. Each brings a deep commitment to our clients, our team, and the values that guide our firm: trust, growth, team, accountability, and service.
Their promotions reflect years of hard work, a passion for helping others succeed, and a shared belief in what makes Haynie a family firm that exceeds expectations. Here’s a closer look at each of our new partners.
Mitch LaMoreaux, CPA
Mitch joined Haynie in 2024 and has served as an audit senior manager. In a short time, he has earned the trust of clients and colleagues alike through his dedication, steady leadership, and commitment to doing the work right.
As a partner, Mitch will continue to serve audit clients while helping develop the next generation of Haynie professionals. Away from the office, he is a devoted sports fan who rarely misses a chance to cheer on his favorite teams with family and friends.
Ryan Wells, CPA, MBA
Ryan joined Haynie in 2025 as director of ERP and quickly built strong relationships with team members in every office. “It’s a great honor and a dream come true,” Ryan said of his promotion. He credits mentors throughout his career, including Ron Scott, for shaping the kind of leader he wants to be.
Ryan looks forward to sharing what he has learned and helping the firm grow. When he’s not at work, you’ll find him outdoors, whether he’s training for an Ironman, summiting a mountain peak, or hiking the Grand Canyon.
Kodi Mortensen, EA
Kodi has been with Haynie since 2019 and serves as a tax manager. Throughout her career, she has embraced change and grown with every new role. “I do like helping people,” Kodi said. “I didn’t realize you can do as much as you can in this profession.”
Kodi is excited to teach others and help them build confidence in their work. Her advice for anyone facing a challenge comes from a favorite quote: things don’t get easier; you get better at handling them. Outside the office, she loves cheering on her kids and hunting for treasures at antique stores.
Craig Lewis, CPA
Craig joined Haynie in 2018 and serves as a tax manager. He sees his promotion as an acknowledgment of years of hard work, and as a responsibility to represent the firm and what it stands for. Craig gets his greatest satisfaction from mentoring others: “I love seeing the light bulbs go off when they figure something out for the first time.”
“Haynie has always been a great place to work,” Craig said, “but I’m excited for the future of the firm more now than ever.” When he’s not working, Craig’s favorite place to be is with his family.
Welcome to the partner group
Please join us in congratulating Mitch, Ryan, Kodi, and Craig. Their leadership, dedication, and care for others embody our north star: Family Firm, Exceeding Expectations.
