OVERVIEW
Kristin provides audit and other assurance services to a variety of clients, primarily in the manufacturing and distribution, dealership and employee benefit plan spaces.
When you work with Kristin, you can expect her to take the time to understand your company, to dig deep into what makes your organization run and thoughtfully analyze solutions. Kristin is responsive, values her client relationships and takes a hands-on approach.
Outside of work, Kristin loves spending time with her husband and four children in the great outdoors, either boating or camping. Kristin also enjoys cheering her children and their teammates on - at embarrassingly loud levels - from the sidelines of their sporting events. When traveling, there's no where she'd rather be than the sunny, sandy shores of Hawaii.
