AboutCenterville CPA and Tax Accountants Our NetworkRooted in entrepreneurial spirit
Padgett was founded with a mission that continues today: to serve as trusted advisors to small businesses across the United States. Silver Leaf, an affiliate of Padgett, joined the network in 2024 when CPA and retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Annette Harvey brought that mission home to Centerville and the surrounding communities.
Silver Leaf provides full‑service bookkeeping, payroll, and tax solutions — delivered coast‑to‑coast, fully online or in person. Born and raised in Southern Iowa, Annette understands how valuable your time is. Her 20‑year military career shaped the precision, accountability, and mission‑focused approach that now define Silver Leaf’s client experience.
With our secure client portal and modern technology stack, your records stay organized, accessible, and audit‑ready anytime you need them. We specialize in supporting farmers, small construction and trades contractors, business professionals, military retirees, and other small businesses who want clarity, compliance, and confidence in their financial operations.
Supporting Military Entrepreneurs
As a retired Air Force officer, Annette brings firsthand experience with the financial realities facing today’s service members and veterans. Silver Leaf provides tailored guidance for active‑duty military, Guard and Reserve members, and retirees who are launching or growing their own businesses.
We help you understand how military wages, retirement pay, and disability benefits interact with business income; choose the right entity structure; and set up compliant bookkeeping, payroll, and tax systems from day one. Whether you’re transitioning out of uniform or building a side venture while still serving, Silver Leaf delivers clear, mission‑focused support that helps you start strong and stay compliant.
Your Business. Your Mission. Our Support.
