In January 2023, Christianson joined forces with Dennis Hoffbeck, CPA to offer our services to the Redwood Falls community. Following the merger of DM Hoffbeck PLLC, Dennis continued to serve clients with the dedication, care, and professionalism that defined his decades-long career in the Redwood Falls area.
Recent life events have prompted Dennis to officially retire. We are deeply grateful for the relationships he built, the service he provided, and the legacy he leaves behind. The entire Christianson team wishes Dennis and the Hoffbeck family the very best of health and happiness in the future.
As Christianson embarks on the next chapter at our Redwood Falls office, we’re introducing you to the names and faces you can trust to support your tax, accounting, and advisory needs year after year.
Meet Maleia Sandgren, CPA
Maleia Sandgren brings a strong background in agriculture and tax to the Christianson team. Growing up on her family’s farm in Buffalo Lake gave her firsthand experience with the realities of agribusiness. That background helps her understand the challenges and opportunities agricultural clients face.
Maleia works with farmers and agribusiness clients on a variety of tax planning and compliance needs, including strategies related to soil fertility, R&D tax credit opportunities, farm tax returns, and family estate transitions.
Meet McKenna Taylor, CPA
For McKenna Taylor, community is more than a word. The Redwood Falls area is where her family lives, learns, and grows. That connection drives her commitment to serving local businesses and individuals with thoughtful guidance and dependable expertise.
McKenna helps clients identify and implement tax-efficient strategies that support long-term success. Her work goes beyond annual returns and 1099s, helping clients take a more comprehensive approach to tax planning.
