Why Michael Doorley
The Financial Report of the United States Government is one of the most important documents in American public life — and one of the least understood. Michael brings the professional training, the subject-matter depth, and the communication skill to change that.
"The Secretary of the Treasury, the Director of OMB, and the Comptroller General of the United States at the Government Accountability Office (GAO) believe that the information discussed in the Financial Report is important to all Americans."
— Executive Summary, Financial Report of the United States Government, Fiscal Year 2025
"The federal government publishes a full set of audited financial statements every year. Almost no one knows they exist, fewer still can read them and actually understand them. My mission passion is to change that — one audience at a time."
