Cool under pressure
Keith Hock might tell you “there’s no such thing as an accounting emergency,” but after 33+ years in forensic accounting, he’s still fascinated by the unique perspective each new client brings. The man who designed the floor plan for the house he and his wife, Jennifer, have called home for 26 years, splits his time between diving into client businesses and supporting his children—son Matthew, recently graduated from Trevecca Nazarene University, and daughter Kelly, a Purdue graduate teaching second grade in Indianapolis.
