About Chuck McKee & TrustVault™

Chuck McKee

Founder

I’ve spent more than 30 years working at the intersection of finance, investigation, and trust. For 20 of those years, I was a Special Agent with the FBI, based out of the Atlanta Field Office in Augusta, Georgia. I led investigations into public corruption, civil rights violations, identity theft, and financial crimes. I also worked cases involving mortgage fraud, white-collar fraud, human trafficking, bank robberies, and counterintelligence.

I served on the Financial Crimes Response Team and led the Evidence Response Team. I helped start the FBI Atlanta Leadership Development Council because I believe leadership matters—especially in high-stakes environments.

Before the FBI, I spent a decade in corporate accounting. I was a fractional CFO for small to mid-sized businesses and held finance roles in both public and private companies. That experience gave me a strong foundation in financial systems and helped shape how I approached complex investigations later in my career.

I have an MBA from UNC-Chapel Hill and a bachelor’s in accounting from NC State. I’m a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), and Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF). I still hold a Top-Secret Clearance and work as a credentialed federal background investigator. I’m also a licensed private investigator in Georgia and South Carolina.

In 2025, I started TrustVault™. After years spent building and protecting trust in high-risk environments, I created a way for others to do the same. TrustVault™ helps professionals prove they’re trustworthy—not just in what they say, but in what they’ve done. It’s clear, credible, and real.

TrustVault™ isn’t just a credential. It’s a movement—to raise the bar, restore confidence, and redefine what it means to be trusted.
