Our Team

Alex-Zochert
What behavior or personality trait do you most attribute to your success, and why?
The trait that I attribute to my success is persistence. In order to get things done when you're as young as I am you have to show a drive and passion for your work.
What’s the biggest misconception people have about your position?
People assume that the role of an Intern involves only coffee runs and making copies when in fact most of us are doing full time Tax Preparation.
What energizes you outside of work?
My passion outside of work is my Motorcycle. I ride a 2020 Harley Davidson Lowrider S. If the weather is good and I am not at work you can expect to find me on my bike.

Amy-Jordan
What behavior or personality trait do you most attribute to your success, and why?
I am relational. I love building relationships with clients and learning about their business and goals on a more intimate level. A client’s financials are extremely personal and in order for them to turn over their business books to me, they have to trust me.
What’s the biggest misconception people have about your position?
People’s first assumption about me is that I love numbers; I do not. I love puzzles and I truly believe that tax planning is simply a massive puzzle begging to be solved.
What energizes you outside of work?
Cooking and entertaining family and friends, showing dogs, exploring the outdoors with my hubby, horseback riding, reading, and yoga.
Favorite quote or song?
Too many to mention! I love instrumental jazz and any song sung by Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, or Nat King Cole.

Ana-Buhler
What behavior or personality trait do you most attribute to your success, and why?
I would say the personality trait I most attribute to my success is dependability. Even when I was very young, I could work without supervision as I tend to work evenly at a project until it is done.
What’s the biggest misconception people have about your position?
The biggest misconception people have about my position is that the more experienced an accountant is, the more they talk in incomprehensible numbers. I have found that we accountants tend to start learning incomprehensible numbers right away, then spend the rest of our lives learning to translate those numbers into human speech. The more experienced the accountant, the better he or she should be at understanding and explaining.
What energizes you outside of work?
Outside of work, I am energized by gardening. I love growing mainly plants that produce food, such as vegetables and berries, though there are some flowers I like too. I even enjoy weeding.
Favorite quote or song?
“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.” – Edgar Allan Poe

Andrew-Bertz
What behavior or personality trait do you most attribute to your success, and why?
My willingness to jump in head first. I always like a new challenge and it has allowed me the opportunity to learn a number of skills that have allowed me to succeed in my career.
What’s the biggest misconception people have about your position?
That once a shareholder you have more time to do “fun stuff”. Not so! The responsibility to Staff and my clients is still there and more so. But I wouldn’t change it.
What energizes you outside of work?
Get a project done and spending time with my family.
Favorite quote or song?
“You just keep thinkin’ Butch. That’s what you’re good at.” – From Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

AnneMarie Dufault, DPW, Doty Pruett Wilson PC
What behavior or personality trait do you most attribute to your success, and why?
Focus is what makes me successful. If I know what it is that I want to accomplish I focus on all of the ways that make it possible, and spend no time on the reasons it could fail. I believe in the concept of self fulfilling prophecy.
What’s the biggest misconception people have about your position?
Everyday is different... there is not a day that I come into work and my day goes exactly as planned, I love it! I think most would think that operations is not very exciting, especially at an accounting firm. But it is just the opposite. There are so many moving parts and with our growth and expansion we have exciting things going on all of the time.
What energizes you outside of work?
I love sports particularly football. I watch high school, college and professional football and run a youth football organization. I love the life lessons football teaches.
Favorite quote or song?
"You can't always get what you want" by the Rolling Stones because we can't always get what we want, so what. Keep working!

Bailey Difuntorum
What behavior or personality trait do you most attribute to your success, and why?
I am very goal-oriented. Because of this, giving myself short-term goals that will allow me to accomplish my long-term goals has helped me stay motivated to create the career I want in Accounting.
What’s the biggest misconception people have about your position?
As an intern, there is more of a misconception about day-to-day tasks, with assumed tasks going along the lines of getting coffee or scanning papers. In reality, there is a lot more hands-on accounting work that allows for someone like me as an intern to prepare taxes.
What energizes you outside of work?
My 1968 VW Bus, whether it is doing actual restoration or just going for a drive I always enjoy being in the presence of such a unique vehicle that I have been able to put my unique touches on.
Favorite quote or song?
“Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” -Winston Churchill
