Two people working through printed financials at a table before a deal

Our Team

Two partners work every engagement, and LIMESTONE issues the report.

Ryan Anoskey, CPA, leads the numbers. Jared Luegers, CFA, reads the operation and is the documented second reviewer. Both partners are on the scoping call and the readout, and a finding that moves price reaches you by phone before any draft.

Who does what

The work is split by stage, and both partners sign off at the end.

Ryan Anoskey, CPA, carries the numbers from the first bank statement to the final report. Jared Luegers, CFA, interviews management, writes the operator’s read and performs the documented second review. The scoping call and the readout are both partners together.

A CPA leads the numbers and an operator reviews them on every engagement.
