Our Team
We want to share a bit about ourselves to help build a relationship and trust.
George Sleeman, EA

As Ramsey Trusted provider (formally called a Dave Ramsey ELP) he has 30 years of experience working with taxes and accounting. He started Tax Man to You, LLC (TMTY) in 2009 to help business owners and provide them with the best tax and accounting services possible. Online or Brick and Morter, George and his staff can assist.

George and his wife, Darcy have two children, Casey and Emily, and many “adopted” kids in the family. He enjoys motorcycle riding and is a lifetime member of The American Legion, The Veterans of Foreign Wars, and The Disabled American Veterans chapters in his home county.
Emily Garberding, office assistant
Emily has been with the Tax Man To You team since the inception of the company. As a generalist, she is able to assist where needed when needed. From filing returns to answering the phones, she is a great asset to the team.
Her passion is the environment and sustainability. She has been a great help in making the office more paper free than ever. She has also helped George with his wording, as it is sometimes a bit wordy and can come off as, shall we say, "raw" or "salty".
In her free time, Emily enjoys spending time with her dog-ters, Sophie and Sunny, and tending to her 100+ plant collection.
Laura Cunningham, office administrator
Laura is originally from Utah, but landed in Colorado in 2010 and made a home for herself and her beautiful blended family, to include her gaggle of five daughters.
Laura joined Tax Man To You as a part-time employee while finishing her college courses for medical billing and coding. As she completed her courses and passed the state exam to earn her CPC-A, it became abundantly clear that she had found her home with Tax Man To You.
Laura officially settled in as a full-time, long-term employee in 2021 and continues to receive fulfillment in pursuing client satisfaction and meticulous record-keeping.
Laura is not known for her brevity.
Jennifer Kendig, Sales Tax Associate
Jennifer is originally from Ohio. Since joining Tax Man to You in May 2019, her passion and enthusiasm for sales tax matters has made her a valuable member of the team.
Jennifer has an Associate Degree in Fine Arts and Early Childhood Education.
Jennifer and her husband, James, have three adult children, Veronica, AJ and Katie.
Jennifer enjoys volunteering with the American Legion as their Vice President of Auxiliary.
Stephanie Whittemore
Stephanie has been with Tax Man To You since 2020. She has spent the last 30+ years raising her wonderful kids and is now the caretaker for her father. Her passion is her children, however, those who know her would say KISS concerts are a very very close second. She has never missed one that was within 100 miles of her.
For relaxation, she enjoys Soduko and crossword puzzles. Her choice of puzzles for relaxing fits into her job with TMTY as well. In looking for the compliance puzzle that the Secretary of State can be, she is able to calmly fix the situation.
