Kristel Zaring

Kristel joined Gift CPAs in 2016, bringing an extensive sales background and network, as well as more than 30 years of banking experience. As Kristel meets with prospective clients, she listens intently to their stories and identifies ways Gift CPAs can be of service to them.

In her role, Kristel lays the foundation for the relationship between the firm and each client. “If you don’t provide good service and develop the relationship with clients, someone else will.”

Kristel graduated from Leadership Harrisburg in 2014 and is extremely active in the community. She has served in various capacities with numerous organizations, including the Salvation Army of the Capital Region, the West Shore Chamber of Commerce Foundation, Crime Stoppers of Dauphin County, and the United Way of the Capital Region.

When she is ready to unwind at the end of a busy week, Kristel hones in her passion for cooking and loves weekly meal preparation and planning. Guy Fieri’s quote resonates the most with her when she is in the zone, “Cooking is not just about ingredients, recipes, and cooking. It’s about harnessing imagination, empowerment, and creativity.”
