New Ownership

Vince Kaiser

CPA, Co-Owner

Vince brings deep CPA experience and a commitment to continuing the firm’s tradition of personal, community-focused service. 

 

Vince worked in a “Big Four” audit practice and then spent many years at Citibank working in accounting, banking, and financial services. Vince has also been working with financial services organizations in a consulting and leadership capacity, helping them improve their processes and thoughtfully use technology to better support their teams and the clients they serve.

 

Mark Kaiser

CO-Owner

Mark joins the ownership team with a focus on operations and client relationships, helping guide the firm’s next chapter. 

 

Mark has spent much of his professional life as an entrepreneur, building and supporting businesses after nearly two decades working in healthcare technology. After years in larger organizations, Mark felt drawn to working in a smaller, close-knit business where he could truly know the people they work alongside and the clients they serve. Over the past 30 years, this firm has become a trusted pillar  of the LaGrange and surrounding communities, and the new ownership team feels incredibly fortunate to be part of its next chapter. 

Aisha Faridi

Co-Owner

Aisha brings a fresh perspective and leadership to the firm, supporting clients and the team through the ownership transition.

 

Aisha has spent the last 20 years in ad technology and forming lasting relationships with clients. Aisha has had the opportunity to work with both small and large organizations, and those experiences helped clarify the value of working in smaller environments and communities – places where people know one another and the work feels more meaningful.
