During her nine years in the accounting profession, Tondeé Lutterman has developed strong leadership and technical skills.  After spending the majority of this time in BKD’s healthcare niche group, Lutterman transitioned to their not-for-profit niche group and rose to co-leader within a year, currently holding the role of senior manager.
