Celebrating 20th Anniversary with Deanna Hoff

Yes, I started in this role after working in public accounting for 14 yrs previously. I live in Janesville and our headquarters were located there when I started. In 2006, I relocated with the headquarters to our current Madison location. At the start of the pandemic, I relocated to our new Janesville office, but do work in our other offices occasionally.

My basic role is to assist the CFO and Controller – hence my Assistant Controller job title😊, but I feel my role is to assist or support everyone on Team Purple in any way I can. I’m involved in the day to day accounting operations as well as many HR functions for our office staff. I process office payroll & expense reimbursements biweekly, sales & use tax returns monthly, payroll tax returns quarterly, and W2’s/1099’s annually. I assist with monthly account reconciliations associated with the preparation of our financial reports. I handle various required statistical reporting as well as audits of our union reporting. I also support other members of our accounting staff and assist PM’s with accounting-related functions and questions. I’m involved with implementation, upgrades, training and documentation for various software we utilize. As you can imagine, I’ve worn many hats over the past 20 years and have learned SO much!
