Lisa Akrawi is a recent graduate of Walla Walla University where she earned a BBA with a concentration in accounting. She was drawn to accounting by her interest in numbers, organization, and balance. The child of a multi-cultural family, Lisa sees accounting as another specialized language to learn and apply. The symmetry of accounting also appeals to her overall sense of aesthetics which she applies in her many creative pursuits. As a former student at Pacific Union College, Lisa is happy to be back in the Napa Valley which she appreciates as the “perfect combination of city and country without being terribly suburban.” She is a frequent traveler and hopes to return to Venice, Italy for a chance to learn more about its unique experiences.

Rebekah Kramer, CPA is a manager at Brotemarkle Davis & Co. specializing in assurance services and business consulting. She is originally from Napa, California and is a Justin-Sienna High School alumnus. She is a graduate of Concordia University, Irvine where she majored in Business Administration with a dual emphasis in Marketing and Accounting. She spent three years working for a Southern California accounting firm before returning to the Napa Valley. While she may not find many opportunities to apply her SoCal yacht-counting expertise (she once had to count yachts docked in ports from San Diego to Newport), her diverse audit skills honed from working with customers in Oil and Gas, Manufacturing, and Real Estate are a big plus. Rebekah first stretched her entrepreneurial muscles when she founded a chapter of co-ed business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi, at Concordia. She hopes to apply what she learned not only to her role as an auditor but also to some day opening an animal shelter. When she is not busy auditing, you might find Rebekah exploring a new trail or revisiting one of her favorite national parks – Denali in Alaska. Rebekah is a CPA licensed by the California Board of Accountancy.

After earning a BA in Accounting from Golden Gate University, Leigh Meyers applied her talents to both public accounting and industry. She is an Enrolled Agent (EA) which is a designation issued by the IRS for tax practitioners who pass their examination and meet other requirements for ongoing training. She has worked with attorneys and vineyard management companies in the Napa Valley and comes to the wine industry with great perspective and an inherited appreciation for farming. Leigh says she was drawn to accounting because of her math skills which have always come easy to her. She works on the tax team and enjoys "untangling messes". She is an equal opportunity animal lover and has two cats and two dogs. When she is not at work, you will find her bicycling around the Napa Valley in what we can only imagine are the most stylish of outfits.
