Helping farmers and ranchers navigate their financial future with real-world experience

 

For Tayla Willinger, agriculture isn’t just a job—it’s in her blood. Raised on a feedlot and deeply involved in her grandparents’ cow/calf operation, she learned firsthand the dedication it takes to run a successful business. Now, as a key member of Adams Brown’s agriculture team, Tayla helps farmers, ranchers and cattlemen keep their financial operations running as smoothly as their day-to-day work in the field.

More Than Just the Books

Tayla isn’t just another accountant. She and her husband, Darrle, have lived the realities of running an ag operation. They’ve owned a cow/calf business, manage a trucking company and work with TerraGenesis, a company focused on sustainable soil biology solutions for landowners. Her hands-on experience means she understands the challenges of tight margins, unpredictable markets and the demands of the business. She doesn’t just talk numbers—she knows what it’s like to make payroll, manage cash flow through tough seasons and balance long-term investments in land and equipment.

“You have to have a passion for it to do it day or night, rain or shine, 365 days a year.”

A Firm That Supports Agriculture

Tayla’s expertise isn’t limited to an office. She works remotely full-time from Eastern Colorado, where she moved three years ago to pursue new opportunities. Adams Brown’s flexibility has allowed her to stay connected to the agriculture community while continuing to serve clients. Last summer, she packed up her camper, set up a mobile office and traveled to Montana with her husband and daughters. From the road, she stayed connected to her clients and team, all while being onsite with TerraGenesis, helping farmers implement sustainable soil solutions.

At Adams Brown, Tayla found a place where her deep ag experience is valued. She works closely with producers to ensure their financial systems are efficient, compliant and built to support long-term success. She’s also part of the Xero Partner Advisory Council, helping drive innovation in farm financial management.

Unlike some firms that operate on rigid schedules, Adams Brown understands the seasonal nature of agriculture. When it’s harvest time or calving season, Tayla knows she has the flexibility to step away, just as many of her clients need to do. That same flexibility allowed her to work remotely from a camper in Montana last summer while staying connected to her clients and team.

“I can relate to our clients beyond just the numbers and books. We all have the same worries that keep us up at night.”

Whether it’s planning for succession, navigating tax changes or improving financial efficiency, Tayla brings a practical, solutions-focused approach to every conversation.

Tayla is proof that Adams Brown isn’t just another CPA firm. Here, expertise is recognized, work-life balance is a reality and professionals are encouraged to grow. Tayla has had the freedom to expand her role, take on new responsibilities and bring fresh ideas to the table—all while maintaining her deep connection to the ag world.
