Keith Naber - Certified Public Accountant

Keith started his tax and consulting business more than 30 years ago, specializing in working with farm clients. Over the years, he was assisted by his wife, Loretta. In 2013, the business evolved with the addition of Keith and Loretta's daughter Melinda, who joined the firm as a tax preparer.

Their daughter-in-law Jamie also joined the firm in the same year, working as an assistant office manager. In 2018, Greg Buckley joined the firm as a tax preparer to further expand the business. A large focus of the business remains in the farming industry, but the small business and individual client base have grown significantly.

Keith has been working in tax consulting and preparation since 1975, with a specialty in working with farm clients. Today he enjoys working with all types of clients and has a wide array of experience in handling business and personal clients.

She enjoys working with a wide variety of clients, including small businesses and individuals. Melinda and Lance Beck are blessed with 3 children. After hours, Melinda enjoys spending time with family, reading and being physically active. 

Jamie joined the firm in January 2013. She handles a wide range of duties, including tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, and many organizational tasks.

Jamie is Keith and Loretta's daughter-in-law. She and their son Brad have a son named Blake. Jamie enjoys family time and being a mom.
