Iverson joined HintonBurdick, then known as Carter Kemp & Associates, in 1976 as a bookkeeper, and over the years has performed innumerable assignments for the firm including bookkeeping, payroll, and the firm’s internal accounting. At the time of her retirement, Iverson was working as the Senior Para-professional.
Prior to joining Carter Kemp, Iverson worked for Fox and Company where in 1971, she became acquainted with Greg Kemp and Lloyd Carter. When Kemp and Carter left Fox & Company to start their own venture, Iverson was asked to join them, however, Gwen felt a loyalty to Fox & Company and Dexter Snow. When Elmer Fox moved from St. George, Iverson joined Carter Kemp, which later became Kemp Burdick Hinton Hall, now HintonBurdick CPAs & Advisors.
According to Peacock, “Gwen has been the ideal employee. She is loyal, honest, and supportive. She has been our best vault and secret keeper. If we ever needed anything, Gwen had the answers. We have termed her the Mother of the firm and she became the conscience of our firm. Her integrity is unwavering and that flows through our offices today.”
According to Van Kleinman, Firm Administrator, “Gwen is honest to a fault. If she paid a bill late and the firm was charged a late fee, she would cover the late fee amount by having it taken out of her own check, if we didn’t catch it. Gwen would frequently enter less time on her time sheet if she didn’t feel that she had given her best. Recently I knew that Gwen had been putting in more hours than normal, but when I reviewed her time card for payroll, it showed a lot less hours. When I approached her about it she told me she only put hours down when she accomplished something. Her integrity is immutable.”
Iverson will now spend her days enjoying her family, her Pine Valley home and doing a bit of traveling.
“Gwen is irreplaceable. They just don’t make them like her much anymore. We will miss her motherly approach to life and work,” stated Peacock.
