Mary has been with KT for 8 years. She started in the Accounting Services department as a “full-time intern,” bouncing around between Accounting Services and Tax for a few years before graduating from BHSU. Her background in Accounting Services really helped her create a solid accounting foundation before she moved over to Tax. This experience also helped Mary pass all her CPA exams on the first try!

Currently, Mary is the Trust/Estate team leader, a member of the agriculture team, and is the leader of the Affordable Care Act reporting team. She also works with many individual clients regarding preparation of returns and planning (tax planning and estate planning).

Personal

Mary is originally from South Heart, ND, a town of about 400 people, if that. She has a brother and sister who have given her the greatest gifts ever – her nieces and nephews! Sports have been a big part of Mary’s life since she was little, and now she is quite literally addicted to golf. Mary loves being outside, preferably with a craft beer in her hand!
