Our Contract Team
Candace Rastedt
MARKETING

Julie Simmons
ACCOUNTING
Julie Simmons knows that behind every financial question is a person trying to take care of something that matters. As owner and operator of Simmons Tax & Accounting since 2014, she has built her practice on that belief—meeting people where they are and helping them move forward with confidence.
Since 2021, Julie has brought that same heart to All Nations Rise. She holds a degree in Business Administration from Concordia College and calls Detroit Lakes home, where she and her husband Bill are surrounded by three grown children and 12 grandchildren. She loves to travel, read, do handwork, and get outdoors — and she brings the same curiosity and warmth to every relationship she builds professionally.
