Liz Troutman

As Chief Operating Officer at Dovetail Financial, I lead our Operations and Client Service teams with one goal in mind: to ensure our systems run smoothly so our clients always feel supported and cared for. We believe great service means having a familiar voice on the other end of the line—someone who truly knows you and your family.

Building relationships and helping clients through life’s transitions are the most rewarding parts of my role. When life takes an unexpected turn, plans may need to change. That’s when our clients call, and I’m here to listen, understand what’s going on, and be part of the team that helps them move forward with clarity and confidence.

I graduated from the University of North Carolina Wilmington and began my career there before moving to Washington, D.C., where I worked in Human Resources at a large international law firm. After more than a decade, I returned to Southeastern North Carolina to be closer to my roots, family, and lifelong friends.

Outside of work, I stay active and make the most of each day. Whether it’s paddleboarding, snowboarding, working out, or outrigger canoe racing, I love being on the move. I also have a deep passion for music—you’ll often find me exploring record stores to expand my vinyl collection. When I’m not chasing down a new album, I’m enjoying time with family and friends, walking on the beach, or catching up on podcasts with a strong cup of coffee in hand.
