Pam has been with ESG Professional Accountants since 2017 and serves as a Tax and Accounting Manager. She brings more than 30 years of experience in both public and private accounting, with a strong background in individual and business taxation, financial reporting, and nonprofit accounting.

Pam began her career in public accounting with McGladrey & Pullen, now RSM, where she focused on tax preparation for individuals and businesses. She also gained assurance experience working with organizations in the manufacturing, food processing, communications, and nonprofit industries.

Pam works closely with clients on individual and business tax preparation, ongoing accounting needs, financial reporting, payroll-related matters, and sales and use tax. Her background across both tax and accounting allows her to look beyond the return itself and understand how the underlying financial activity impacts the bigger picture.

She also has significant experience supporting business owners with their personal financial accounting needs and working with nonprofit organizations on budgeting, reporting, and financial management. Pam values long-term client relationships and takes a detail-oriented, practical approach to making tax and accounting matters easier to understand and manage.

Pam received her Bachelor of Business Administration from Mount Mercy College, now Mount Mercy University, and holds an inactive CPA certificate.

Outside of work, Pam enjoys spending time with her husband, Gary, and their family, including their twin sons, daughter, daughters-in-law, and two granddaughters. She also enjoys baking and taking care of the people around her — often with something homemade involved.
