Meet the Team Monday!

This week we are excited to introduce Leslie Johnstun, our Chief Operating Officer.

Leslie joined the Integrated Tax team in 2018 and she oversees the day to day operations of the back office.

Continually looking to the next horizon, Leslie loves finding ways to create a positive work environment for the Integrated Tax team and she enjoys fostering meaningful sponsorships with local community non-profits.

Outside of work, Leslie is an avid Disney parks fan and loves spending time her two Mini Australian Shepards, Otis and Ardlui, whom she trains with in agility.

On Wednesday, we hosted our S-Corp Optimization Class, exclusively for Integrated Tax clients—and we packed the room with 18 small business owners and entrepreneurs ready to level up their tax strategy.

Our amazing tax team covered practical strategies designed to help S-Corp owners get the most out of their status, including:

📌 Optimizing Section 162 expenses
📌 Avoiding the pitfalls of co-mingling
📌 Maximizing retirement funding
📌 Strategies to keep more of your hard-earned money working for you

A big thank you to Dave Brewer with State Farm for providing lunch!

This class has become our flagship client education program, and it’s just one of the many ways we go beyond simply preparing tax returns.

And perhaps our favorite feedback? New clients regularly tell us they learned more in 60 minutes at our S-Corp Optimization Class than they learned in years of annual meetings with their previous accountants.

That’s the Integrated Tax difference. We don’t just do your taxes—we help you optimize your business.

FOUR GENERATIONS. ONE FAMILY. ONE PASSION FOR TAXES.

Meet the Johnstuns-Ogden's tax family!
It started with Jake's grandpa, an accountant. Then came Doyle, who brought the entrepreneurial fire and passed it straight to his son, Jake. In 1994, Jake joined Doyle in the family trade — and in 2002, he launched his own venture: Integrated Tax.

For a decade, Jake and Doyle ran their businesses side by side, sharing space and staff. Then in 2012, Jake planted his own flag with Integrated Tax's South Ogden office, creating a firm entirely around his own vision.

Today, Jake's wife Leslie runs the show as COO, and their son Zachery is an Enrolled Agent and VP, officially generation #4!

Integrated Tax has grown into one of Northern Utah's most trusted names in small business taxation, and Jake has become the go-to guy for real estate investors and agents who want smart, strategic tax planning.

But growth isn't just about numbers, it's about people. Integrated Tax invests in the team's education, backs their certifications, and loves giving back to the Ogden community.

From one guy learning the ropes... to a firm built on family, grit, and genuine care.

That's Integrated Tax.
