About the firm

Small-town office. Big-firm experience.

Judy opened her Wellington practice in 1994 after years in state government accounting and private-sector auditing. Three decades later, the goal hasn't changed: real expertise, delivered personally.

Judy earned her bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Education from the University of Iowa, then her master's in Managerial Accounting from Colorado State University. She became a licensed Certified Public Accountant in 1983 and worked in Colorado state government accounting and as a private-sector auditor before opening her own practice in Wellington in 1994.
