Meet the Team

Meet the Owners

Meet the founders behind Balance Tax & Accounting. Our mission is to help business owners thrive by delivering reliable accounting services through our dedicated local and global teams.

  • Born and raised in Fargo, ND, I graduated from North Dakota State University in December of 2000 and became a CPA in 2001. I launched my own firm, Accounting 4 Success, and in 2015 partnered with Jamie Passanante to rebrand as Balance Tax & Accounting—a name that reflects our goal to help clients balance entrepreneurship with financial stability. I’ve also had the privilege of serving as treasurer for the New Life Center, a homeless shelter, since December 2015. When I’m not working with numbers, you’ll likely find me out on the trails, running or mountain biking—my favorite ways to recharge and keep life in balance.

    Owner & CPA

    Raised in Hallock, MN, I graduated from Concordia College in Moorhead in 2005 and have spent over 16 years working in both public and private accounting. Today, I’m proud to be a partner at Balance Tax & Accounting, where Aimee and I lead a team dedicated to delivering comprehensive accounting services, from compliance and tax filings to strategic planning and business advisory. Outside of work, I’ve had the honor of serving on the board of BioGirls, an organization close to my heart. In my free time, you’ll find me enjoying a good book, cheering on my kids at their activities, practicing yoga, or planning my next travel adventure.
