Catrina  had a love of small business early on, selling lemonade and candy to  her neighbors by going door to door in 2nd grade because she found the  traditional lemonade stand business model just wasn't working anymore!   That successful venture was followed by others and an interest of  business and  entrepreneurism led to an accounting degree from Montana  State University, a masters degree in taxation from San Jose State  University and a CPA credential.  She started working as a public  accountant in 2010.  When she is not busy crunching numbers, she enjoys  lake time, snowboarding, hiking, spending time with friends and family,  camping, and traveling.

Rebecca has been a small business owner since 2011.  Her love for all things outdoors landed her a degree in Environmental Analysis and Planning which later evolved into a career in Landscaping and Gardening.   Rebecca discovered she really enjoyed the accounting side of owning a business and  decided to pursue a career in Accounting and HR.  When she's not at the office, you can still find her taming gardens in the Gallatin Valley as well as playing outdoors with her family and friends.  

Malia has operated a bookkeeping business for 9 years in Manhattan MT.  She brings experience and passion with her to Empire Tax & Accounting!  When she is not crunching numbers, you can find her floating the river with her family or reading a good book.

Deirdre takes great pride in her work as an accountant and delivering accurate and reliable service.  She is active in her church and family.
