Our Principals

Dwight D. Baumgardner, CPA, Principal
“I like for my clients to know that they are in good hands and that they can remain focused on their core business functions and not on taxes.  They trust in me to assure that their tax obligations are being minimalized, while also being fully compliant with Federal and State tax laws.  I pride myself on being that advisor and resource for my clients that adds value to what they are trying to accomplish.”
Jennifer P. Clingan, CPA, Principal
“I work hard to understand my clients’ business—from more than just the accounting perspective.  My job isn’t to quote  IRS code, but to make IRS code and complex tax and accounting issues understandable and manageable so my clients can focus on growing their business.”
Edmond B. “Ted” Gregory, CPA, ASA, Principal
“I think I’m viewed as an equitable businessman, which is why I’m often called upon as an appraiser and arbitrator. Having spent 15 years as CFO of a daily newspaper and commercial printer—an industry under extreme stress and radical change—gives me a unique perspective serving our clients. My interests are in helping clients serve their own best interests … and in business systems that run smoothly.”
Kevin R. Hessler, CPA, Principal
“Businesses and individuals rely on me to structure their comprehensive financial picture. I help clients who want to design tax, business and pension plans that will work to their advantage now and in the future.”
Jon C. Holmes, CPA, Managing Principal
“My clients view me as their trusted business advisor. My goal is to help them succeed and excel at what they do; communicating with them on a regular basis and advising them on business strategies to minimize their tax obligation while ensuring they are compliant with applicable tax laws and regulations.”
Jamie Iseminger, CPA, Principal
“I’m a proponent of efficiency—always looking for ways to get the most out of what we do.  It is important to me to provide my clients with real value, helping them attain their goals by understanding what they do, how they do it, and helping them identify opportunities for working smarter—not harder.”
Tracy M. Noble, CPA, CGMA, Principal
“I easily relate to the challenges facing small business clients.  As a CGMA, I know how to help owner-managed businesses operate more effectively.  For companies who need greater oversight of their accounting and financial functions, but aren’t ready to hire a full-time controller/CFO, problem solved.”
Brian E. Rippeon, CPA, Principal
“I’m a tax specialist. My objective is a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of Federal and State tax codes. My goal is keeping clients’ tax obligations at an absolute minimum while ensuring they remain in compliance with laws and regulations.”
Eva Webb, CPA, Principal
“I enjoy working closely with my audit clients, learning the intricacies of their organizations and businesses and providing them with insights and analyses that help them make the most of their resources.”
