With over 18 years of accounting experience, Judi is not your average number cruncher. Growing up in an entrepreneurial family, she's been helping small businesses for over three decades. As a self-proclaimed budget geek and Certified Management Accountant (CMA), Judi has a knack for making accounting books sparkle. Her CMA expertise brings advanced financial analysis, strategic planning, and performance management skills that help businesses not just track their numbers, but truly understand what they mean for growth and profitability.
As an Enrolled Agent (EA), Judi has earned the highest credential the IRS awards to tax professionals, which means she can represent you before the IRS for audits, collections, and appeals – basically, she's your tax superhero when things get complicated! Her expertise spans across service industries, manufacturing, construction, and non-profit sectors.
But Judi isn't all about spreadsheets and financial statements. When she's not balancing the books or battling the IRS on behalf of clients, you'll find her out in the great outdoors, camping and kayaking with her adventurous dogs and husband, or escaping to warm tropical islands where the only numbers she's counting are the waves rolling in and the days until her next adventure.
Sandi Stensrud
Senior Accountant
With over 35 years of accounting experience, Sandi kicks assets. She is the guardian of the general ledger, thinks creatively outside of the box, tackles tough reconciliation issues and reads between the spreadsheets. She is exceptionally detailed; one of her favorite sayings is “The devil is in the details”. She has proven to be an auditor’s dream due to neatness and accuracy of the records she was responsible to maintain. Her tool-belt arsenal includes 25 plus years as a detailed and hands-on construction controller. Other experience includes manufacturing and restaurants. In days gone by, Sandi tended bar, served cocktails and food…often juggled a combination of all.
When Sandi is not “sanding” the nitty-gritty accounting projects or refining processes and procedures, she enjoys time with her family, especially those residing in Montana. She loves to “cook the books” with her cookbooks and online resources to create delicious meals and baked goodies for friends and family. In the evenings, you’ll find her cozied up to her 3 meow-meow cubs (cats). Other favorite things include wellness advocate for a worldwide essential oil company (studying & sharing, using & diffusing); shopping (what girl doesn’t); and preserving/canning fruits.

But here's what really sets Stephanie apart – she's known for being incredibly fun and outgoing. Don't let her serious dedication to getting your numbers perfect fool you; she brings energy and personality to everything she does. When she's not busy making your financial statements shine, you'll find her exploring the world, always on the lookout for her next travel adventure and soaking in different views from around the globe.
Stephanie proves that accounting doesn't have to be boring – with her expertise and enthusiasm, your books will be in the best possible hands!
Thom Humphreys
Tax Preparer
Meet Thom, who's trading in his Army boots for tax boots! After 15 years as a civilian Environmental Protection Specialist with the US Army, Thom decided it was time for a new mission: helping clients navigate the wild world of taxes.
Don't worry though – all those years deciphering complex government documents and translating military jargon into plain English have given Thom a superpower: making sense of tax code that would make most people's eyes glaze over. If he can decode Army regulations, the IRS doesn't stand a chance!
Currently working toward his Enrolled Agent certification, Thom brings the same attention to detail and dedication to service that made him successful in his civilian role with the military. When he's not busy ensuring your deductions are maximized and your returns are bulletproof, you'll find him kayaking the pristine lakes of Northern Nevada and Northern California, or exploring the charming villages of Europe (because someone has to make sure those European cafés are still serving excellent coffee).
Thom's unique blend of military precision and adventurous spirit means your taxes will be handled with both accuracy and enthusiasm. Plus, his stories from overseas adventures make tax season just a little more interesting!

Winston Humphreys
Junior Bookkeeper
Meet Winston, our four-legged junior bookkeeper who's mastered the art of creating a fun work environment! While he's been diligently trying to assist with tax course study sessions, Winston finds tax law about as exciting as an empty food bowl – so he usually opts for a strategic nap instead.
What Winston lacks in tax expertise, he makes up for in customer satisfaction and networking skills (especially the purr-to-purr kind). His approach to bookkeeping might be unconventional, but his positive attitude is absolutely contagious!
