Who we are

A Springfield firm. A small team. A year-round plan.

Capitol Edge Strategies is an independent consulting company built around one idea: business owners deserve a strategic advisor in their corner — not just someone who files paperwork once a year.

Mark Speake, Founder of Capitol Edge Strategies

Leadership

Mark Speake

Founder

Mark founded Capitol Edge Strategies to give business owners something a once-a-year filing rarely does: a year-round plan. He leads the firm’s tax strategy work — credits, deductions, defined benefit plans, and the structures most advisors never mention — so profitable years don’t automatically mean a bigger bill in April.

The team

The people who keep the plan moving.

Strategy only works if it gets implemented. Kelsey and Connie make sure it does — from benefits and succession through the day-to-day of running the firm.

Kelsey Holman

Executive

Kelsey leads advisory work that sits beside the return: tax credits, lending, employee benefits, HR solutions, and succession planning. She helps owners connect payroll, benefits, and long-term tax position so the whole picture works together — not as a stack of disconnected vendors.

Connie Zapp, VP of Operations of Capitol Edge Strategies

Connie Zapp

VP of Operations

Connie runs the firm’s delivery — client operations, scheduling, and the follow-through that turns a strategy session into a year-round plan. She is the reason recommendations become action, and the person clients reach when something needs to move.

How we work

Independent. Local. In your corner.

We are based at Plaza Towers, 1736 E Sunshine, Suite 507 in Springfield, MO — and we work with owners here and across the country. Capitol Edge Strategies, LLC is an independent consulting company. We do not sell product. We find the credits, deductions, and structures your current advisor may have overlooked.

A 15-minute strategy session with Mark is the starting point. From there, Kelsey and Connie make sure the work actually lands.
