In 1986 Brian Christiansen bought the firm and changed the name to Brian Christiansen, CPA. Brian later purchased Forest Maple's practice, a former tax prepared in Neligh, in the late 1980s. In 1993 Brian expanded his business even more, and kept expanding by adding new clients for many years. Years later in December of 2005, Jarod Bearinger formed Bearinger Tax & Accounting, LLC and Brian Christiansen slowly transitioned out of the business.
