October 12, 2009 - Freund Advances As Owner At Local CPA Firm

Fond du Lac, Wis – Huberty & Associates, S.C., a certified public accounting firm with offices in Fond du Lac, Ripon, Plymouth and Markesan, recently named Ann Freund as one of the company's owners. She joins two others as owners -- Wayne Huberty, founder of the company in 1981, and Gary Born, who oversees the Ripon and Markesan offices,

Freund joined Huberty & Associates in 2007 as a certified public accountant and senior manager with 17 years experience in the industry. She works closely with business owners, non-profit organizations and individual clients on tax planning, business problem-solving, estate and investment planning — with special expertise on tax-compliance issues.

"Ann brings another dimension to our firm," said Wayne Huberty. "Her administrative and tax expertise, especially as it relates to our high net worth clients, adds depth to our firm. It's great to have her assistance in leading our company to a higher level."

Freund earned a degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in accounting and administrative management from the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh, followed by official certification as a CPA. She has lived in Fond du Lac with her husband Bill and their four children since 1975.

"I was impressed with how well the company serviced its clients when I came here two years ago, and I'm especially proud to be an owner now," Freund said, noting she is in touch with clients throughout the year. "Our firm prides itself in meeting with clients regularly, not just at tax time."

Freund is a member of several professional organizations in her field — the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Wisconsin Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the American Woman's Society of Certified Public Accountants. She is also active as a member of the Fond du Lac Morning Rotary, is on the board of directors for the Women's Fund of the Fond du Lac Area Foundation and a member of the Fond du Lac Sailing Club and Yacht Club.
