Founder
x112 | frank@frankwarnercpa.com
After a different job brought him to the area, Frank started the practice in 1979. When plan A to retire in 2001 and plan B to retire in 2004 didn't work out, he decided he'd live to be 130 and work until then. When Chris initially expressed interest in buying the firm, Frank turned him down since he hadn't thought much about the idea, One day after suggesting to one of his clients they sell their business, he realized he should consider his own advice. He reached out to Chris, they realized they shared similar values for the firm, Frank gained full confidence Chris was the right guy, and he sold in 2012. Frank has his MBA in Accounting and he is a financial advisor holding his series 6, 63, and 65 licenses. Frank still competes for US Masters Swimming and his collection of medals can be seen hanging in his office. He lives in Silverdale with his wife, Pam. They have two daughters.

KATIE SHOEMAKER
Tax & Bookkeeping Services
x128 | katie@gintzwarner.com
Katie grew up in Port Orchard, moved to Bremerton for a few years and eventually built a house in Silverdale in 2013. During that time, she was a waitress and did what most high school graduates do… take some basic college courses while you figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life. She spent years earning a couple of degrees but none that pointed her in the direction of her passion. A few years later, she decided to go back to school one more time and realized on her very first day of Accounting 201 that accounting was exactly what she was meant to do. Katie graduated from Olympic College in 2016 with her Associate Degree in Accounting Technology, where she earned a perfect 4.0.
She joined Gintz Warner in the summer of 2022. She came to us from a small yet very busy tax & bookkeeping office in Bremerton where she was the full charge bookkeeper, performing all bookkeeping tasks for their many clients, which gave her a wealth of on-the-job training. Eventually she even got thrown into becoming a tax preparer.
Katie enjoys spending time with her family and her beautiful dog, Adelina. She also loves puzzles and number games like Sudoku (clearly why she has a career in numbers) as well as being a huge sports fan, especially soccer. Go Sounders!
