Amy Tessmer, CPA
Controller
Quad CitiesI am involved in overseeing the accounting function, reviewing financial information, and planning and forecasting. Prior to joining The Planning Center, I spent more than a decade working for CPA firms as a financial statement auditor. I love my role because I get the opportunity to support the operations of the Company so it can continue to grow and impact the lives of more families and individuals across the country.
“Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value.” [Albert Einstein]
I grew up in the Quad Cities and, after spending some time away and starting a family, decided to move back and make the Quad Cities our home. My husband, Joe, and I have two children. We keep busy with volunteer opportunities at church and at our children’s school. We also (mostly) enjoy exercising our two high-energy, noisy miniature poodles.
