Bookkeeping & Payroll
Ensuring your books and payroll run like clockwork, mile after mile, with the quiet precision that keeps your business journey running strong.

Financial Planning Solutions Manager
It’s hard to believe we’re coming to a close on 2025 already, but it’s been a memorable and eventful year in the Thomas household! To celebrate our last summer before our youngest (Harper) started kindergarten, Casey and I planned our first family trip to Disney World. Both Hadley and Harper had the time of their lives, and I have to admit that Casey and I did too. One of our most memorable family trips yet kicked off a fun summer all-around.
Hadley loves the second grade so far, and Harper is thriving as a kindergartner. Weekends these days are filled with all the sports, activities, and birthday parties, but we’re soaking up every moment.
This year, I’m reminded just how precious and valuable time is, and how important it is to be present, make those memories, and be grateful for everything we have and hold close to us.
From our family to yours, thank you for the continued trust and support that you pour into TRPG.
We wish everyone a wonderful holiday season and the best in 2026!
Andrew, Casey, Hadley, and Harper

Wishing you peace, joy, and bright new beginnings!
As I reflect on this past year, one of my greatest highlights was fulfilling a lifelong dream – ringing in 2025 on a cruise with my entire family! It was a beautiful reminder of how precious time together truly is—this year also brought moments of deep emotion and growth. In February, I faced the heartbreak of losing my mom, and in August, I embraced an exciting new chapter by joining TRPG. I’m so grateful for he opportunities and connections that have come with this change.
Family continues to be my greatest joy and blessing. Casey and his wife are thriving in Denver, Alli and her husband, Tyler inspire young minds through teaching and coaching, Levi is chasing his passion through Jiu-Jitsu competitions, Ashlyn is working hard in the PTA program and her husband Cordell has landed a new job in banking, Zach is focused on community college, while my youngest keeps us cheering at every game as a busy junior in high school.
May this season bring you peace, laughter, and cherished moments. Here’s to a new year filled with hope, health, and happiness!

Happy Holidays!
I started in March of 2025 and am part of the payroll team. My husband and I are empty nesters and are enjoying the quiet life. I have enjoyed getting to know the clients and assisting them in any way possible to make business tasks easier and understandable.
Wishing you all a fantastic holiday season and a prosperous New Year.

Holiday Greetings!
We are looking forward to the holidays and a visit from our kids, who are attending college in Minnesota. It will be great to have everyone together again. David and I celebrated six years together this past May. A couple of months ago, David had his second hip replacement in two years. For those who remember The Six Million Dollar Man, we tease that he now makes the bionic sound.
This past year, I went full-on crazy chicken lady. We added Polish and Ameraucana chickens to our flock. Then I got the bright idea to buy an incubator, and things got weird. Now I am up to my gizzard in chickens and quail. I learned that just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. I also learned that we probably need to keep a closer eye on Randy, our Polish rooster. We had a lot of fun watching the eggs hatch. All my coworkers eagerly await my updates and pics of our new chickens.
Hope the coming year brings more good times for us all. From our flock to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Sincerely, Lisa A. Sachs

Here we go again, the end of another year already!
2025 has treated the Striegel family well! We kicked off the year with a lot of volleyball for our daughter, Andie (7th grade). Her team made it to Nationals again and took 5th place in their division, just barely missing out on a top 4 finish. So proud of them. Kane (4th grade) made it through another year of baseball. He’s making big strides, can’t wait for spring! Our family vacation this year was with some friends and their kids, with a trip to Table Rock Lake. The house was amazing, so many laughs and memories, they’re already talking about where we are going next. Casey and I have a trip to Mexico planned in early December this year. We are both excited to get away for a long weekend.
Can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store, happy holidays!

This year seems to have flown by faster than others, especially since this year started off a little rocky for me with an “outside the box” health issue that took five doctors and five weeks to diagnose and finally cure. After that, the rest of the year was full of exciting blessings. Like getting to spend a week with my Sicilian cugini (cousins). Two from West Virginia, Betty Jane (left) and Carol Rosa (right), and my cugino, Paul (and his wife, Dominique, taking the photo) from Paris, France. We spent an entire day making homemade manicotti that our mamma used to make. That includes the sauce, ricotta, and shells. It doesn’t get much better than good food, family you don’t get to see very often, and cherishing memories for those no longer with us.
Other 2025 blessings include:
- My granddaughter’s rec soccer team came away with a Silver medal in the Spring soccer tournament. Her team has only played two seasons (last fall and this spring)!! They are finding their team groove. GO DOLPHINS!!
- Took an Amtrak train ride with my youngest son (27) and my two grandkids (14 & 7) (from my middle son), all born in July. We went to Union Station to visit the Guinness World Record exhibit. The world’s tallest man’s shoe size and the largest spider were the hits of the day!
- My cat, Sassy, turned 18 on Halloween and is still going strong.
I hope your blessings were many in 2025, and that 2026 has even more!!
Ciao for now, Nay
