Mark Haynes
Senior Tax Accountant
Supreme Overlord of Candy Bowl Eating
Studiously working towards his CPA license, Mark earned first his Bachelors Degree in Accounting then went on to earn his Master’s in Tax and Accounting. Just following his graduation in 2017, he was hired by a nationally known accounting firm to work as a tax staff. He continued to work just as diligently as he had in school and obtained his CPA license in 2019. He jumped at the opportunity to spend 3 weeks in Ghana where he held seminars for small businesses. He was so good at crunching the numbers he ended up being able to build his family’s home, his wife acting as the general contractor while he learned how to use a nail gun. Mark’s knack for measurements comes in handy when in the kitchen where he loves to spend his free time. He enjoys testing out new baking recipes on his family; wife and his little kids certainly won’t complain. His title might not include it, but he really is the king of the office candy bowl.

Mette Warnick
Accounting and Tax Manager
Senior Accountant
Having worked part-time in accounting for nearly all of her adult life, dabbling in many industries’ bookkeeping, she decided to make it official by graduating from Heritage University with her Bachelor of Science in Accounting in 2019. She followed it up by acing her exams and earning her CPA license in early 2022. Mette is enjoying this new chapter of her life. Before starting her career as a Tax and Accounting Manager, she dedicated most of her days to her large family, even working in her parents’ business. She loves nerding out on tax but loves raising her kiddos even more. When she doesn’t have her hands full with her kiddos and her brain full of accounting, she enjoys any good action flick–as long as it has at least one scene where something blows up!

Donna Waits
Employer Services Manager
Group Benefits
With her passion for people, Donna has dedicated the most recent part of her career to connecting her community with valuable risk management services. She has provided companies with group benefits for almost two decades. Before that, she held numerous titles, working in the lumber industry, accounting, construction, and even in mortgage as a loan officer. Her experience in different fields has helped her understand her clients and gives her another way to find the pulse of their needs. When she isn’t focusing on her clients, she tends to her chickens and works in her garden. Her homegrown flower bouquets bring a welcome spot of color to the office and always brighten her teams day. If Donna isn’t tending to her land or caring for her clients, she can be found visiting her daughter in Scotland and adventuring through the countryside.
