In 2009 I left my corporate job and jumped right into tax preparation when I purchased an H & R Block office in Northern WI. In 2013 my family decided to move back to the Hudson/New Richmond area to be closer to family. I worked at a tax firm in Stillwater for 2 years always knowing I would eventually open my own office. In September of 2015 I opened Premier Tax in Hudson WI. After 30+ years in the working world, I found my passion in tax preparation and consulting. I love working with clients to get the best outcome possible on their taxes. I look forward to doing this for many years to come! I live southwest of New Richmond with my husband of 32 years, Jon, and my son Blake who is 15 and a sophomore in high school.

I really enjoy preparing taxes and working with a wide range of clients. I received my Bachelors Degree in Business Administration in 2011 at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. I look forward to continuing to work with my existing clients as well as take on new ones, while being mentored by Wendy.
