PFS (Personal Financial Specialist)

During my 27-year career as a CPA and trusted advisor in public accounting, I provided strategic tax planning solutions to individuals, families, and business owners to help them optimize tax and achieve their financial goals.

After selling my tax and accounting firm in 2021, I found my passion as a family office advisor in wealth management as I combined my tax expertise, with a commitment to help simplify my client’s financial lives, and a heart for client service.

I love diving into a client’s financial plan to get a really great feel for their big picture, then digging into their tax return to identify strategies that not only minimize tax, but also align with their financial plan, their retirement goals, and ultimately their legacy goals.

I have been advising clients in tax and financial planning for over three decades. My commitment to finding solutions for my clients is unwavering.

Graduating from Northwestern College in May 1994, I earned degrees in Accounting and Business Administration. Licensed in SD, I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), have earned the Personal Financial Specialist (PFS) credential, and am a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the South Dakota CPA Society, and the Sioux Falls Estate Planning Council.

My husband, Shane, and I live in Sioux Falls, and enjoy traveling, spending time with our family, and volunteering through our church. You might also find us on neighborhood walks, a hiking trail, or on the pickleball court.
