Brian Wurst truly enjoys solving a truly difficult problem for a client. And after nearly 30 years with Kennedy and Coe, Brian has solved plenty of them.

His wife, Beverly, would say his work as a member of the Wealth Creation group and chairing the firm's management board are not only his career but also his personal hobby. Brian says this is because he feels genuinely rewarded when he's able to help good people solve sophisticated problems.

Brian became a member of Kennedy and Coe, LLC in October 1986 and is committed to being a resource for both clients and the entire firm by designing solutions for progressive and successful family agribusiness clients. Brian's experience includes auditing and accounting in the areas of tax and estate planning, litigation support, individuals, partnerships, fiduciaries and S corporations. He specializes in working with financial institutions, grain companies, feedlots and farming operations.

Give Brian sun, water and a bit of Kansas State athletics and he's a happy man. Growing up, his family would pick a different vacation spot every year on the ocean. Today, he also likes to hunt and fish, although Beverly would still say he enjoys his work with Kennedy and Coe way too much.
