Our Story
Hi! I am Jackie Coder.
I am the accountant behind Coder Accounting Services. My family and I live in Wisconsin and love the weather (except for winter).
Yes… I have 20 years of accounting and tax experience.
Yes… I am an EA (IRS Enrolled Agent).
Yes… I have a Master’s Degree in Business Administration.
But these “accomplishments” are NOT why Coder Accounting Services exists.
I started my accounting practice to HELP people.
The people that start a business and need guidance…
The people that have an established business and need my guidance and knowledge…
The people going through different journeys: job changes, retirement, divorce, death of a spouse.
The individuals that have messy tax situations, whether it’s a bit of trouble with the IRS or non filing for a number of years due to life… Life happens. I think you all know what I mean.
My passion is not the tax return or the Quickbooks file. My passion is the PEOPLE behind the tax return and Quickbooks files.
If you’re looking for an accountant who cares about the person behind the numbers, schedule a call with me today.

Have you had the pleasure of meeting Courtney at Coder Accounting yet?
Courtney has been working at Coder Accounting since the fall of 2020, wearing a lot of hats. She is an IRS Enrolled agent, tax accountant, Quickbooks Online guru, Gusto payroll advisor & manages many of our Coder Accounting operations. Her strength is definitely calming the chaos! Around the office the things that need organizing, the recollection of random facts, and systems are often referred to as a “Courtney Brain Thing”.
We also love that Courtney has a huge heart for volunteer work. She is a Chairman of Main Gate North Admissions Building at EAA in Oshkosh; she’s on the Board of Directors for Mayville Friends of Camp Inc; and is a Director for a 6th grade camp program for the Mayville School District. You can also find her volunteering for the YouCan Missions where they collect shoes for people in Belize!
Courtney’s number one tax tip is to not always trust what you see on the Internet. “You see many tax tips floating around the Internet. Some will help you, some will not. Don’t always trust what you see. Ask your favorite accountant at Coder Accounting what tips are most beneficial to your situation.”
Colleen joined Coder Accounting as a full time Accountant at the beginning of November 2024 and we're so excited to have her on the team!
Raised on a local beef and grain farm, Colleen has deep roots in our community and a rich background in agriculture. Alongside her husband, she continues to embrace the farming lifestyle, raising beef cattle and managing cash crops on their own farm. For them, farming is more than an occupation—it’s a way of life and a cherished family tradition.
Colleen brings nearly a decade of experience in Public Accounting to our team, with a passionate focus on taxes and farm accounting. Her expertise is not just in crunching numbers, but in crafting innovative tax strategies that benefit our clients directly, enhancing their financial health and operational efficiency.
When she’s not expertly navigating tax strategies, Colleen can be found in her garden or canning the season’s harvest—activities she describes as her form of therapy. This summer, she might just expand her gardening endeavors, although her husband is yet to find out!
Please join us in welcoming Colleen to our team! We look forward to the fresh perspectives and seasoned insights she brings to our firm.
Feel free to reach out to her for your tax and accounting needs, especially if you’re in the farming sector—she’s eager to connect and assist. Here’s to new beginnings and fruitful collaborations!

We'd like for you to meet our Office Manager, Kari.
She’s been working with us at Coder Accounting since the fall of 2022 and says that she loves, “The fun and caring atmosphere & the flexibility!” As our office manager, Kari also helps manage the chaos with Courtney! Kari assists with onboarding all new clients to Coder Accounting, manages all client communication, and assists with bookkeeping. If you are a CA client, you’ll be hearing from Kari often!
Kari lives in the area with her husband and their two young boys. She loves spending time with her family along with spending time outdoors, whether it be turkey hunting in the spring or deer hunting in the fall… Probably has something to do with her country roots – where she grew up on a dairy farm!
Have you met Arlesse? Well, do a double take because she's an identical twin and they live only a half mile apart!
Arlesse joined the Coder Accounting team in the fall of 2022 as a bookkeeper. She loves working with numbers, her past job was at a bank!
She also loves having the flexibility at Coder Accounting, because she and her husband are busy with their three daughters and six grandchildren living in the area. She loves spoiling her grandkids!
Her best piece of advice, working in the tax industry, is to keep organized year round. It’s so much easier on yourself come tax time.

We'd like to introduce you to Peggie!
Peggie has been a bookkeeper at Coder Accounting since June 2023. Her favorite part is the people, “I enjoy being a part of the dedicated Coder Accounting team in providing personalized, excellent service to our clients.”
Peggie and her husband Joe have been together for over 30 years and together they have three incredible adult children, two great sons-in-law, and 4 beautiful grandchildren.
Peggie’s favorite tax tip is to utilize digital storage well, “Utilize electronic storing and sharing of documents needed for Tax preparation. It is safe and efficient. Keep a file on your computer to store PDF copies of statements, receipt images and any other tax related documents as your receive them. Electronically sign the Engagement Letter and electronically fill out your Tax Organizer. All can be shared with Coder Accounting quickly and easily when filing time arrives!”
