Helping companies with their insurance needs since 1979, LaPorte’s accounting team provides the industry knowledge and expertise to be your insurance service provider. With access to exclusive programs, such as INSource, additional discounts, and value-added services. Our service to the Accounting industry began in 2009 when Taryn Braseth, a former accounting firm employee, was hired as the Controller at LaPorte and worked in collaboration with one of our owners, Eric Torkelson. Together, they used their extensive experience and knowledge of issues within the insurance industry to focus on this neglected niche and develop a program tailor-fit to the Accounting industry.
