An independent Certified Public Accountant, Celeste Gibson has provided tax and accounting services to individuals, farms, and small businesses in southwestern Wisconsin since 1994. Celeste holds degrees as a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and a Master of Business Administration, both earned summa cum laude at Minnesota State University-Mankato. She passed the Uniform Certified Public Accountant in 1984, earning an Elijah Watts Sells Award for grades among the top 1% in the nation. Ever a lifelong learner, Celeste pursued a legal education through independent study, earning her JD degree from Taft Law School of Santa Ana, California, in 2013. After passing the California and Wisconsin bar exams, she is licensed to practice law in both of those states. Celeste owns and operates Gibson CPA & Law LLC, a full-service professional firm in Viroqua, Wisconsin. In addition to tax and accounting services, the firm provides legal services in the areas of estate planning, probate, business law, divorce mediations, and nonprofit law. Celeste has two daughters, both of whom are graduates of Minnesota State University-Winona. Her extensive community service background includes service as an elected public school board member and as a court-appointed special advocate. Her favorite hobbies are gardening, hiking, and bicycling. If Celeste had her way there would be strict environmental and consumer protection laws. The size of corporations would be limited and bad corporations would have their charters revoked. Earth would be restored to health and all people would live in loving co-existence.
