It’s our favorite day of the month, Meet Us Monday! We know our team is pretty great, so we look forward to this day every month when you have the opportunity to know them better. This month we’re pumped for you to get to know Andrew:

I joined CSLA Iowa in December 2021 from the public accounting world where I provided tax, accounting, and advisory services to clients across multiple industries.  It has been a refreshing change of pace to put my full focus on one company!  Not having to deal with the IRS has been a pleasant change as well.
