	Stephanie Olsen, President Stephanie is touted as one of the premier financial advisors in the country today. Stephanie and her staff focus on the research and development of innovative, outside-of-the-box solutions for reducing taxes, protecting assets, and creating true wealth. Her company, The Ark, Inc., caters to business owners and investors of all levels. By working with you through all stages of your financial life, Stephanie’s team of strategists, CPAs, attorneys, and other financial professionals help you set up the proper entity structures; implement strategies that reduce tax, promote wealth, protect assets; and create a step-by-step plan for the achievement of your financial goals. Stephanie has made an effort to separate herself and her company from the traditional financial planner in that The Ark, Inc. does not generate its income primarily from the sale of insurance and/or investments. Because of that, Stephanie is recommended highly by those in the top of their fields, such as John Burley (internationally known speaker, best selling author, and teacher on the subjects of real estate investing, finance, corporate tax reduction, and asset protection), among others. Stephanie is a regular speaker in financial and investment workshops throughout the country. She has been in practice since 1988 and resides in Reno, Nevada with her husband, Eric and her two children, Darby and Ben. Stephanie and The Ark, Inc. have worked with thousands of people throughout the United States, helping them to save thousands upon thousands of dollars in taxes, provide ironclad asset protection, and retire financially free.
	Rita Mae Cannizzarro-Walsh, Vice President of Marketing Stephanie Olsen describes Rita as “the very best entity structuring professional” she has ever known.  Rita studied under the tutelage of a nationally recognized speaker and business owner, C.W. “Al” Allen, who specialized in entity structuring for asset protection and tax mitigation.  Rita became the top strategist for Mr. Allen’s company during the years of 1999 through 2003.  She joined The Ark, Inc. in 2003 as a senior strategist and quickly advanced to Vice President as a result of hard work, attention to detail, unparalleled study and research, and uncommon commitment to customer service.
	Charles A. Dombek, CPA, MBA, Senior Strategist Charlie has many years experience in the accounting and tax field, including nine years with national CPA firm, Ernst & Young. However, right at the beginning of his career, it did not take him long to realize that, besides not being genuinely concerned about their clients, most CPA’s are “glorified bookkeepers” and “form filers” who offer no strategies. As a consequence, he obtained his MBA from the College of William and Mary with high honors along with learning advanced techniques of wealth creation, protection planning, estate planning and tax mitigation targeted to the needs of the client. His extraordinary analytical ability has led him to be Senior Strategist for The Ark, Inc. National speaker, Al Aiello, calls Charlie “A CPA Extraordinaire”. “He picks up advanced tax strategies with lightening speed and readily adapts them to the extraordinary tax programs of the Ark.” Charlie is also a specialist in the valuation of closely held business interests. He has a pristine reputation of being highly professional and accommodating in his dealings with clients.
