Director of Tax Advisory & Compliance

Raised in Mobile and a University of Mobile volleyball standout, Abby graduated with a 4.0 GPA in public accounting. In 2022 she earned College Sports Communicators Academic All-America Second Team honors — one of only six NAIA honorees with a perfect GPA. She brings that same captain's focus and composure to every client interaction. Outside the office she spends time with her husband Sam, loves beach days, and time with friends and family.

Natasha Milam

Raised in Slidell, Louisiana, Natasha attended the University of South Alabama. She is our QuickBooks go-to with a heart for community service. Natasha is active at St. Lawrence Catholic Church and serves as Treasurer for Archangel Radio. Outside the office she spends time with her husband Jason, two dogs, and two cats — and prefers balcony views to sandy toes.

Shari Hill

Senior Client Accounting Specialist

Raised in Buffalo, New York, Shari keeps you straight — supporting clients through accuracy with standout service. A Marine veteran and mom, she moved back to Alabama in 2018 and now serves as treasurer for the Fore22 Fund. Outside the office she spends family time with her son and two grandsons, and spends Sundays in full Bills gear — though she has adopted both "Roll Tide" and "War Eagle." Shari lives by Zig Ziglar's words: "A positive attitude will have positive results because attitudes are contagious."

Madison Hultz

Outside the office, Madison enjoys spending time with friends and family and traveling.

Terry Reece

Terry Reece

Client Accounting Specialist

Terry holds a B.Sc. in Accounting with Honors and High Distinction from the University of Kentucky. Early in her career she joined a Boston-based company and was stationed in South Africa, with Cape Town as the Regional Head Office — an experience that took her across the African continent working on diverse international projects. She is genuinely energized by accounting, finding the precision, problem-solving, and storytelling behind the numbers both challenging and deeply rewarding. She prefers doing the books with her two cats close by over any video game.

Maggie Decker

Maggie Decker

Client Accounting Specialist

Raised in Wisconsin, Maggie attended the University of Alabama, earning both a B.S. and an MBA. Outside the office she enjoys taking her dog on walks, reading, and spending time at the beach. While she still proudly supports the Green Bay Packers, her years in Tuscaloosa also made her a dedicated Alabama fan — so you'll hear both "Go Pack Go!" and "Roll Tide!" throughout the year.
