Marilee Daugherity CEO & Founder

Founded by Marilee Daugherity, Premier Choice is a women-owned financial services firm providing tax services in Springfield, MO and Southwest Missouri, with secure virtual support for clients nationwide.

Marilee is a nationally recognized, top producing insurance agent with multiple professional licenses and board leadership experience with national insurance companies. She is also a past local President of NAIFA (National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors), known for clear, client-first guidance in life insurance, business insurance, family protection, and retirement planning.

Her commitment to helping clients avoid IRS tax problems started early. Growing up in a small business household, she saw how unfiled and unpaid taxes can lead to IRS collections, wage garnishments, and long-term financial stress. That experience shaped her mission to help small business owners, self-employed professionals, families, and real estate investors stay tax compliant, reduce tax liability, and build lasting financial security.

Now, Premier Choice partners with one of the largest tax planning firms in the country to offer advanced tax planning services and cost segregation studies to maximize tax deductions, accelerate depreciation, improve cash flow, and support long term financial confidence.

Premier Choice proudly supports Ronald McDonald House and Convoy of Hope, and each year our office adopts local senior citizens to help ensure they have what they need during the holiday season.
