That said, we want to be very clear — Lexington is still home. Our Lexington office is not going anywhere, and we remain fully committed to our clients and the community that has supported us from the very beginning.

We are willing to train for all positions. If you’re dependable, willing to learn, and enjoy working with people, we’d love to hear from you.

📣 Lexington Friends — Before You Touch Your 401k, Come Talk to Me!

Hey everyone, it’s Ann. With everything happening in our community, I want to make sure you’re protected before making any big financial decisions.

If you’re thinking about taking money out of a 401k, already have a 401k loan, or you’re dealing with job loss, moving, or any other tax-related changes, please come see me first. These choices can have huge tax consequences, and a quick conversation can save you a lot of stress (and money).

💜 I’m offering FREE 30-minute advisory sessions to help you sort things out and make the best decision for your situation.

If you’re a new client, please bring your most recent tax return and any important documents you have.

My goal is to help our community navigate all of this safely, confidently, and with solid information—not panic.

The announcement of Tyson closing its Lexington plant has shaken all of us. For so many families, this isn’t just a workplace shutting down — it’s a source of stability, identity, and community pride. My heart is genuinely heavy for every employee, every family member, and every local business now facing uncertainty. This news is devastating, and there’s no easy way to soften it.
I want you to know that you’re not alone in this. Lexington has always been a community built on resilience, hard work, and looking out for each other when times are tough. That hasn’t changed.
At Emken Bookkeeping & Tax Service, my team and I are here to support you in every way we can. Whether you need help understanding unemployment options, navigating health insurance changes, preparing for the tax impacts of a sudden job loss, learning your options for your 401k, or just someone to talk through next steps, our doors are open. You don’t have to be a current client — if you need help, come in.
We are committed to doing everything in our power to help families stabilize, plan, and move forward during this transition. No one should feel lost or overwhelmed right now.
Lexington is strong because we stand with each other, and we will continue to do that — one family at a time.
If you need guidance, please reach out.
We’re here for you.

Ranchers, if you’ve been hauling calves lately, now’s the time to get your paperwork in order. 🐄

Keep those sale sheets, hauling receipts, and commission records in one place before they get lost in the truck.

You’ll thank yourself come tax season.

How are your sales looking this fall — better, worse, or about the same as last year?

Long weeks, long miles, and piles of receipts that never seem to end.

We get it — paperwork’s the last thing you want to do after running all week. But here’s the truth: 10 minutes a week spent sorting can save hours (and dollars) later.

Drop a 🛻 if you’ve ever told yourself, “I’ll catch up on that this weekend”… and didn’t. 😅
