Her responsibilities include managing project workflow, communicating with vendors, completing software updates, fostering team growth and much more. Meet Ashley.

Shawn Landwehr, Payroll Coordinator
“From reading business magazines and tuning in to what is going on with surrounding companies, I am a sucker when it comes to business,” says Shawn Landwehr, with a grin. Just get him talking on the subject and his passion for all things small business is evident.

Linda Gertken, Accountant

After leaving the public accounting industry for 2.5 years, Linda missed the work so much and decided it was time to get back into it. “She is extremely caring, down-to-earth and one of the most kind-hearted individuals we know. Her attitude, knowledge and desire to give it her all makes her the perfect fit and we are so lucky to have her,” exclaims Ashley, reflecting

on a few of many reasons why everybody loves Linda. Meet Linda

Stefanie Steinhofer, Payroll Accountant
Stefanie has been with Landwehr since fall of 2020 and is an integral part of the payroll department. Her passion for research has earned her the title of the “go-to” person for any type of research that needs to be done when new laws are passed, especially when it deals with payroll. “Stefanie has been the perfect addition to our team. Her calmness and go-with-the-flow attitude is unmatchable, especially during the hustle and bustle during tax-season,” reveals Ashley. Meet Stefanie

Michelle Kerzman, Receptionist
Michelle has been the missing piece to the puzzle for many years. Michelle started with Landwehr Tax & Accounting in 2021 and was immediately welcomed by all clients. “Her natural desire to want to serve clients and co-workers makes her the absolute perfect fit for the job,” explains Ashley. “Michelle is always up-beat no matter where she goes, and never hesitates to strike up a conversation. She goes above and beyond to make sure you feel important, no matter how hectic the day gets.” Meet Michelle.
