Springfield, MO – January 9, 2026 – Abacus! is proud to announce that Levi Kamer, Tax Manager, has been named one of Louisville Business First’s 20 People You Need to Know in Accounting, an honor recognizing professionals making a meaningful impact in the accounting industry and their communities. 

Kamer joined Abacus! in October 2019 and serves as a Tax Manager, focusing on proactive tax planning, using interim financial statements and client payroll records to develop detailed tax return projections, and guiding strategic conversations around reducing or deferring tax liabilities. He also manages clients’ estimated quarterly tax payments to help them stay ahead of obligations and avoid surprises, and he remains a trusted resource for tax and financial questions throughout the year. 

“I was very honored to be named and grateful just to have been nominated,” Kamer said. “I strongly believe in the client service we provide and the value we give clients compared to other firms, so in my mind, every single one of our professionals should be recognized each time this list is published.” 

Kamer is particularly passionate about supporting newer businesses, helping entrepreneurs refine their finances, and achieve growth. “It’s incredibly rewarding to see clients succeed year after year while we handle the financial side so they can focus on their passion,” he said. 

He attributes much of his impact to communication and client trust. “Quality, thoughtful, and frequent communication are key,” Kamer explained. “It fosters strong client relationships, keeps our teams cohesive, and ensures our work is accurate and complete. I try to put myself in my clients’ shoes and take ownership of their needs so they can focus on what they do best.” 

This recognition reflects Kamer’s dedication to client service, leadership, and the values Abacus! upholds in guiding businesses and individuals toward confident financial decisions.
