Tell us a little about yourself:

Raised on a ranch outside of Kadoka, SD, graduated from SDSU and Kennesaw State University, lived in Georgia for 12 years then moved to Sioux Falls in 2007. Married to Matt and have 3 boys, I love working with people, working out, reading mystery novels, spending time with my boys and get-togethers with friends.

Why do you love doing what you do?

All of us have our strengths and weaknesses, and not everyone understands or enjoys the financial side of their business. If we can work with them to help them understand what their financials are saying to them without them having to put in the extra work on this side of the business – so they can focus on the aspects of the business they love and know inside and out – it’s super exciting to visit with them about where we are, where they are going. What are their goals and how are we going to get there. To form a partnership with our clients makes it all worthwhile!

You’re stuck on a deserted island… what are 3 things you can’t live without?

Tell us a little about yourself:

I grew up in small town Humboldt, SD. Then went to the University of Sioux Falls for Professional Accounting and Business Administration. I currently live in Sioux Falls with my dog, Nixon.

Why do you love doing what you do?

I enjoy the day to day “tedious” work along with problem solving aspects of Accounting. I also enjoy knowing that I will never stop learning because every company is different and every industry is different.

Favorite Sioux Falls restaurant:

Currently it’s JL Beers because I can try new things every time I go, and the atmosphere is amazing there.

Favorite vacation spot:

Not anywhere specific, but if you put me by a lake and some hiking trails I will for sure have a great time!

What you like to do for fun:

I love evenings/weekends with my Nephew and friends. The auntie life and dog mom life keep me busy.

You’re stuck on a deserted island… what are 3 things you can’t live without?

My dog, coffee, and (lets be honest) my phone.

Tell us a little about yourself:

Hi, I am Heather! I grew up on a farm just outside of Delmont, SD. I moved to Sioux Falls for college and have been here ever since. After graduating with my Bachelor’s in Accounting, I pursued my Master’s Degree and earned my CPA. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work for some great companies in Sioux Falls, met and married my husband, Steve, and volunteer with MidAmerica Boston Terrier Rescue. I’m also a dog mom to my two rescued Boston Terriers – Keywe and Ketchi.

Why do you love doing what you do?

I truly enjoy the day-to-day accounting of a business’ operations and seeing all of that flow through to financial statements. There is also something new to learn every day when working with different businesses. And it’s exciting to see the passion small business owners have! We also have an amazing team at Matinee that I’m very grateful for!

Roam or Puerto Vallarta – And I love to try new places!
