Quick answer

TruCount CPA PC is a CPA firm in Brookings, SD, founded in 2009. The firm serves farmers, agribusinesses, and professional service businesses across South Dakota and throughout the Midwest.

TruCount CPA PC opened its doors in Brookings, South Dakota in 2009 with a straightforward goal: give farmers, agribusiness operators, and professional service business owners a clear, current picture of their numbers so surprises stop happening.

Clients across South Dakota and throughout the Midwest come to TruCount for one reason: they want to spend less time buried in spreadsheets and more time running their operation. A dairy producer needs to know cash flow before planting season starts. A contractor needs payroll handled without a second thought. Both deserve numbers they can trust, delivered by people who know their name and their business.

Our story from a solo practice to a trusted regional partner

As TruCount CPA PC's client list grew across South Dakota's ag country, our team established the staying power to support clients through planting seasons, tax seasons, and everything between. TruCount now works with agriculture businesses and professional service businesses across the Midwest as well as Brookings, SD.

Kristy has spent 13 years at TruCount, working closely with agribusiness and service-based clients on bookkeeping and payroll that keeps pace with the season. She's the kind of accountant who remembers a client's harvest schedule without being asked.

Brandi has been with the firm for 13 years, supporting clients in South Dakota and, from her base in Ohio, clients in Logan and Shelby Counties. Between Kristy and Brandi alone, TruCount clients get 26 years of hands-on accounting experience. Add Julie's founding tenure and the firm's collective bench sits at 51 years of accounting experience, all pointed at one thing: keeping clients out of the books and back in their business.

Our mission and where we're headed

TruCount CPA PC exists to give clients peace of mind from knowing their numbers, so they can focus on operations, make confident decisions, and never get caught off guard by a number they should have seen coming.

The goal ahead is clear: to be the trusted financial partner for farmers, agribusiness operators, and professional service businesses in South Dakota and across the Midwest, acting less like an outside vendor and more like an extension of each client's own team. That's the standard behind every outsourced accounting engagement and every tax plan the firm builds.
