Our Team

Built for simplicity, continuity, and leadership-level support

Steinke & Company is intentionally structured so clients are supported by a team, not dependent on a single person.

As businesses grow, over-reliance becomes a liability — on a founder, a single advisor, or a key employee who becomes the bottleneck. We design our firm the same way we help our clients design theirs: with clear roles, defined ownership, and continuity of care.

Every member of our team plays a specific role in supporting clients through complexity, growth, and transition.

How Our Team Is Structured

Clients are supported through a clear division of responsibility, so work moves forward efficiently and advisory time stays focused on decisions, not execution.

You always know:

  • Who owns what

  • Where to go with questions

  • Who is involved — and why

This structure protects both client outcomes and long-term continuity.

    TAX & STRATEGIC PLANNING

    Ashley leads tax preparation and proactive tax planning for the firm. She works closely with clients to ensure tax strategy is aligned with how the business actually operates, what it can afford, and where it is headed. By integrating planning into ongoing financial work, Ashley helps owners understand tax implications before decisions are made, not after.

    PAYROLL & SALES TAX

    Ann oversees payroll and sales tax compliance for clients with growing teams and operational complexity. Her work ensures that payroll runs accurately, filings are timely, and compliance does not become a distraction or risk as businesses scale. By keeping these systems reliable and consistent, Ann helps create stability in areas where growing businesses often feel pressure first.

    Meghan Wyman

    STAFF ACCOUNTANT

    Meghan manages accounting and financial reporting, ensuring clients have clean, accurate records they can rely on for decision-making. Her work supports the foundation of finance-first advisory by maintaining clients’ monthly accounting. Reliable reporting allows owners and advisors to focus on decisions instead of correcting errors or filling gaps.

Why This Team Model Matters

This structure means:

  • Work does not stall if one person is unavailable

  • Advisory time is spent on decisions, not admin or chasing missing docs

  • Clients are supported consistently from multiple angles

  • The firm can scale without chaos

It is the same model we encourage our clients to build inside their own businesses.

Get Started

Stewardship and Continuity

We believe businesses should be built to last, including our own.

Our team-based model supports:

  • Long-term client relationships

  • Clear ownership and accountability

  • Reduced risk from one key person

  • Continuity of service as businesses grow

This is part of our commitment to stewardship, responsibility, and sustainable growth.

A Note on Fit

We work best with clients who:

  • Respect structure and process

  • Value clarity over urgency

  • Want a team, not a one single person

  • Are ready to lead at a higher level

If you’re looking for someone to “just jump in and fix everything,” this won’t be the right fit.

If you want a team built for real growth and real leadership, we’re ready to talk.
