Ana Brunner
Executive Assistant
Ana provides executive support to one of Harris’ partners and manages Harris’ HR department. In her executive assistant role, she handles a variety of activities, including overseeing a very active calendar, arranging travel plans, and managing the firm’s registrations. Her collaborative, insightful personality is a plus in the human resources area, where she manages employee benefits and creates programming to keep everyone’s spirits high.
Prior to Harris, Ana strengthened her knowledge of tax and assurance processes while serving in an administrative capacity at legal and accounting firms. She also spent several years conducting compliance audits for Title IV-eligible colleges and universities. Ana is always interested in learning new skills and has often become the go-to person for IT issues, document editing, and leading firm-wide initiatives like transitioning to paperless billing.
Ana’s dream of moving to Idaho came to fruition in 2020 after being hired for her current position with Harris. She and her husband Dan made the move with their chocolate lab, and the trio now happily spends their free time exploring, hunting, and camping around the Gem State. Ana is a great cook, which also makes Dan and the dog happy.
