Family owned businesses are a source of pride for local communities and Five Stone Tax Advisers is no different. Founded and owned by husband and wife, John Paul (JP) and Kellyn Krueger, the company has grown and thrived since their beginning nearly a decade ago.
Back when they first opened in 2008, Five Stone had a smaller staff of seven employees and offered fewer services, mostly as tax resolution and tax preparation. Much like the inspiration for the Five Stone name, they prove that smaller does not mean ineffective. Alluding to the story of David and Goliath, the Krueger’s saw their services as being a small yet useful, much like the stones David used to overcome his great challenge. The company takes pride in working the same way, being thorough in their methods to help clients and do best for them.
