While Rena Hansen, CPA, started her tenure with the firm as a “tax season copy girl” in 1991, by 1997 she completed her BS in accounting and, within 5 years, had become partner. As a partner at BDM, her practice focuses on business and individual tax preparation, small business setup and consulting, and financial statement preparation. She is also an active community member, having been involved with HomeWord, Fort Courage Childcare, the Missoula Food Bank, Child Care Resources, Leadership Missoula, Friends of the Civic Stadium, and Loyola Sacred Heart Foundation. Outside of work, Rena’s Darby, Montana roots and competitive spirit make her an avid sports fan (go Griz). But she is also a dedicated mother who enjoys skiing, fishing, and hiking, especially when accompanied by her husband, Scott, and children, Connor and Hanna.
