Client Testimonials
Always Great To Work With
Had a great experience. They walked me thru all the ins and outs of owning my own business. Always great to work with.
Excellent Job
He did an excellent job reviewing our accounts and preparing our taxes. He was very attentive to individual concerns and needs and worked hard to complete our taxes in a very timely manner. We will continue using Loy Hancock.
Highly Recommend
Michael Hancock of Loy Hancock & Associates, PLLC has been doing my taxes for years. He is knowledgable, honest, and hard working. Everything is always done in a timely manner and with great communication. Michael always takes the time to answer my questions thoroughly, and I would highly recommend his services to anyone.
Incredibly Efficient
After dealing with other tax accountants in the area, the main difference I've found with Mike boils down to two things: A) He makes the process human — I never once felt like an account number — and B) He's incredibly efficient (and helpful). I walked out of my first appointment with forms already signed and filed, where others not only would not, but had not taken the time.
No time for a meeting? Drop offs welcome.
Out of town? No problem, snowbirds welcome.

Since college, Michael’s life has been dedicated to helping people and businesses with their financial journeys. He started his career at PricewaterhouseCoopers gaining valuable knowledge and experience but feeling removed from the act of helping people. After his time at PwC he worked at some smaller firms where he honed his skills, knowledge, and “client first” mentality.
In 2016, Michael was ready to strike out on his own. Finding the right opportunity, he began building a CPA firm focused on client service while emphasizing integrity through transparency.
As a business owner, he understands firsthand how complicated it can be to wear all the “hats.” And as a parent he understands how priorities and needs frequently shift. These shifts can easily effect taxes. Michael appreciates this and works hard to ease these burdens for clients. Making it easy to utilize his expertise so that clients can focus on utilizing their expertise proving to be a formula for success.
Michael brings over 15 years of experience in public accounting, with a focus on tax, and is a licensed Certified Public Accountant in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
