We give God the credit – we are here for and because of Him.
Larry D. Phillips
CPA, MST
Larry has over 25 years of experience serving clients in a wide array of industries, including manufacturing, construction, restaurants and agribusiness. Larry enjoys the variety that comes with public accounting.
I love the service aspect of what I do. My passion is figuring out the intricacies of a business or the details behind someone’s personal financial situation to see how I can best help my clients.

Any accountant can prepare a tax return or a financial statement, but I strive to bring value to each and every client I am fortunate enough to work with.
Outside of work, Larry spends his time relaxing with Jessica and their three kids. He coaches baseball and enjoys participating in Spartan races and the physical challenges at TriFit.

Jessica Phillips
Office Manager
Jessica was a middle school science teacher in Wyoming before spending ten years at home raising children.
Our youngest is in school full time now. I wasn’t really sure how I wanted to get back into the workforce, I was just open to whatever God wanted me to do. He definitely dropped this business venture into our lap. I never expected to be working in a tax office, but in hindsight, it’s perfect…helping Larry and serving clients…it’s what I’ve been in training for all these years!
When Jessica isn’t in the office, you might find her at a garage sale, in the garden, out for a run, or in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes. Larry & Jessica recently installed a Michigan native wildflower prairie on the 3 acres of former hayfield next to their house. A self-proclaimed “bird-nerd,” she and the kids fill the birdfeeders around their house every morning.
