Zachary Mester, CPA

Hi, I’m Zach—a Tax Accountant at Midwest Financial Group. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Business from the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management, where I double-majored in Accounting and Finance & Risk Management Insurance, and minored in Business Law. Since joining MFG, I’ve gained an even deeper appreciation for the impact our work can have. It’s especially rewarding to see how our collaborative, team-based approach drives meaningful results for clients.

Outside the office, I live for new experiences and staying active. Some proud accomplishments include having run a marathon and earning my SCUBA certification.  Whether I’m running, skiing, swimming, diving, playing pickleball, exploring the local food scene, attending concerts and sporting events, or relaxing at home with a good show and Henry, my Maine Coon cat, I try to keep life well-balanced. Traveling is one of my biggest joys—especially my family’s annual retreat to the lakes of Northern Wisconsin. One of my favorite adventures was a homestay in Costa Rica, where I immersed myself in local culture and was able to improve my Spanish speaking. I’m always looking forward to whatever adventure comes next!
