About Carrie B. Copfer, CPA

Proven leadership with 28 years of responsible management of the City’s financial resources.

Welcome!

I’m Carrie B. Copfer, a dedicated Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with nearly 40 years of experience in financial leadership.

For 28 years, I’ve proudly served as our city’s Director of Finance, bringing sound financial expertise, decisive leadership, and a collaborative spirit to every decision.

My career also includes 11 years in public accounting (Deloitte & Touche) and private sector leadership roles, as a Controller and Chief Financial Officer, where I developed a sharp lens for solving complex financial challenges. My leadership is rooted in integrity, earned trust, and a commitment to delivering measurable results.

The next four years will mark a transformative period for our city, as we respond to changes across our business landscape, retail corridors, and residential neighborhoods. These challenges require steady leadership and a clear financial vision.

I bring the experience and independent voice needed to ensure continuity, stability, and strong financial stewardship to guide our city forward. I’m committed to maintaining a solid foundation for growth, innovation, and resilience in every economic climate.

About Carrie

As a lifelong resident of Northeast Ohio, I was raised in Fairview Park and earned my bachelor’s degree in accounting and business pre-law from Bowling Green State University.

Since 1991, I’ve proudly called North Olmsted home – where I’ve raised two children and welcomed one granddaughter. Over that time, I’ve been actively involved in local organizations including St. Richard School and Parish, Girl Scouts, NOSO Soccer, and Hot Stove Baseball, to name a few.

I’m a member of the Ohio Society of CPAs and several municipal finance organizations — staying engaged, informed, and committed to serving North Olmsted with care and integrity.
