Kristi Ray
Kristi is our executive administrator and has worked with Trey since 2016. Kristi is an expert in client relations, inventory management and daily administrative duties. She is the backbone of our office as she helps keep every corner of the office running smoothly, as well as making sure our clients’ needs and questions are taken care of. All while keeping a smile on her face and coffee in her hand. In her off time, Kristi is most likely participating in a ministry at Cross Branded Cowboy Church or with her husband cheering on their daughter as she participates in many rodeos and 4H activities around the state.
Lisa Nugent

Lisa is the ringleader for keeping everyone in line and our client work moving forward. With her organizational skills and attention to details, she lays the groundwork for many of the services we provide, while also handling many of our internal accounting processes. Her goal is to make sure our clients experience the highest level of customer service possible. When away from the office Lisa enjoys spending time with her family and tending in her flower garden.
Samantha Bryant
Samantha joined North Star Tax Advisory Group in February 2026 as a Bookkeeper. She works with clients on their day-to-day bookkeeping needs, including QuickBooks, account reconciliations, payroll, sales tax, and keeping financial records organized and up to date. She enjoys the problem-solving side of bookkeeping and isn’t afraid to dig into the details to figure out why something doesn’t quite add up.
Samantha values building relationships with clients and making the financial side of running a business feel a little less overwhelming. She is always looking to learn something new and expand her knowledge of bookkeeping, accounting, and tax compliance.
Outside of the office, Samantha enjoys spending time with her husband and dogs, finding new hobbies, and enjoying the little things in life.
Anna Rougeau
I’m Anna Belle, a wife, mom, and business professional who genuinely enjoys working with people and learning what makes their businesses tick. I married my high school sweetheart, Aaron, in 2014, and we have two kids, born in 2015 and 2020, who keep life busy and interesting.
I’ve always had a love for agriculture and the people who make it work. I enjoy getting my hands into the details and, more importantly, understanding the “why” behind them. That mindset carries into the way I work with business owners. I don’t want to simply complete a job and hand you a set of numbers. I want to understand your business well enough to help make those numbers useful to you.
I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with business owners in a variety of areas, from day to day bookkeeping and organization to looking at the bigger picture. I love being able to take something that can feel overwhelming or confusing and turn it into information that actually makes sense and helps someone make a decision.
At the end of the day, I think good business relationships come down to trust, communication, and genuinely caring about the people you work with. That’s the kind of relationship I want to build with every client.
