Beyond Tax Preparation

My mission is to bring a distinctive consulting firm to the market that fits the changing needs of clients and agricultural industries.

CFO Advisory Services

Business and finances are far from simple. It takes a team with their own unique expertise to assist you in maximizing opportunities and reaching your goals.  I work to bridge the gap, bring advisors together, and leverage our skills to work as a partnership of experts with a commitment to your long-term planning as a business owner and as an individual.

Business Consulting

You may be starting your first business or beginning the process of transitioning that dream to the next generation. Whether it’s working with your attorney and banker to establish a proper entity structure or help you smooth out the next steps in your business cycle, I can offer dynamic, project-based expertise to accommodate your specific needs.

Estate & Succession Planning

You’ve worked hard to build a business and a life for yourself and your family. Preparing for the future starts with laying a forward-thinking foundation in the present. I’m here to help you create an individualized plan that will streamline future transitions and ensure your legacy continues on to the next generation.

Tax Planning & Preparation

While taxes are a key part of any business decision, I approach them as starting point of a greater process that goes beyond simply planning to lower the tax burden from year to year. Instead of reviewing financials only once a year on a cash basis, I want to be involved year-round as business opportunities arise and your cash flow changes so year-end choices don’t have long term consequences.

My mentor taught me “Do what you do best and hire the rest.” As business and agriculture both continue to evolve with more complexities, it’s my job to be the “nerd” and love the numbers while you manage your cattle, your fields, and your day-to-day business.

Timely communication

Whether by phone, text, email, or even visiting in person, there is value in being able to get in touch with your CPA when a question from the banker comes in or you need to evaluate an opportunity opening up.

Adding value

Excellence isn’t just about hours worked. It’s about bringing a different perspective or helping you integrate that next generation into the family farm.  My billing is as unique as my clients so that we can design a cost-effective, quality relationship that fits your needs.

Professional relationships

Having an entire team on board and working to reach your goals is vital. I have access to a diverse network of experts built through years of experience. My job is not to know it all, but rather to connect you with specialized professionals to help you succeed.
