In 1968, Rodale Emken founded a home-based bookkeeping service, diligently building a customer-centric business that became a source of pride for the entire Holdrege community.
Following its acquisition by Marlene Johnson and her business partners, Emken sustained the legacy established by Rodale. Marlene, carrying the torch, upheld the business's values until her passing. Mirroring the growth of the Holdrege community, Emken flourished over the years.
Bringing over a decade of tax industry expertise, Ann Mercer acquired the business from the Johnson Family in 2015. Demonstrating her roots, she relocated the business to her hometown of Lexington, marking a significant chapter in its journey.
Emken takes pride in its three-generation workforce. Tami, Ann's mother, skillfully handles clients' bookkeeping needs. Meanwhile, Kylee, Ann's eldest, works diligently behind the scenes, ensuring customers are well-informed and the business stays updated with the latest technology. Together, they strive to meet the diverse needs of their valued clients.
