Join us in welcoming the newest member of the Landmark team, Kortney! 🎉

Kortney earned bachelor's degrees in Accounting and Finance from the University of Arkansas at Monticello. Inspired by a high school accounting teacher, she pursued public accounting because she enjoys helping clients navigate the challenges and uncertainties of tax matters. She chose Landmark for its supportive and welcoming culture and is especially excited to work with interns and new staff while building relationships with clients.

Let's learn more about Kortney:
🥖 Current obsession: Sourdough baking! Kortney has kept her starter, Dough-Lene, alive for nine months and loves trying new recipes. Her latest interest? Finding a pottery class and maybe even shopping for a kiln.
☕ Favorite drink: Diet Coke is her daily staple, but when she needs an extra boost, she reaches for an Iced White Mocha.
🎨 Hobbies: Crocheting, planning parties and vacations, redecorating, playing mahjong, photography, tackling DIY projects with her husband, cheering on her kids at sporting events and (hopefully soon) pottery.
✈️ Bucket list item: Exploring Israel and visiting the Biblical sites connected to Jesus' life and ministry.

We're excited to have you aboard, Kortney! ⛵
