Manager - Sioux Falls, SD
Logan Aukes, CPA, CVA
Experience
Logan began his career with Williams & Company as an intern during his final semester at Dordt University. Initially planning to pursue law school, he joined the firm full-time shortly after graduation to gain transitional experience—and never looked back. What began as a one-year plan turned into a long-term career in public accounting.
Since starting with the firm, Logan has advanced through several roles, including staff accountant, senior accountant, supervisor, and now manager. He has developed a strong appreciation for the dynamic nature of the work, the complexity of client needs, and the collaborative environment at Williams & Company.
Logan credits the firm’s culture for giving him the freedom to shape his own career. He values the opportunity to work alongside a high-performing team and build meaningful relationships with clients—relationships built on trust, accountability, and shared goals.
