Monica Weber
Accountant
“Find a job you enjoy, and you will never have to work a day in your life”
In a desire for a career change, Monica started taking accounting courses in 2000. She started working in the accounting field in 2001 and began working for Larry in 2005. Initially it was casually helping him with work overflow (to be at home as much as possible with 3 little ones), and in 2010 she was able to park her motorcycle at the office full-time.
In 2018 Monica achieved her designation, Chartered Professional Accountant. Yep, do the math, 18 years!! But this worked for her, she was able to work, go to school, and be a wife and mom to her three amazing kids (who are now 2 adults and 1 teenager).
They live on a small farm just outside of town with their German Shepherd Rico and 4 adopted cats. (she cannot foster any more cats, as she falls in love and can’t bring herself to return them to the shelter).
The best thing Monica loves about her job is helping her clients navigate their tax situations, each one being unique, and ensuring the best outcome for them.
