Dan and Angie Tillman continue to hold full control over the Keokuk Volunteer Emergency Corps (KVEC), including the organization’s financial operations and bank accounts — despite ongoing concerns raised by past members and community observers.
Their leadership has been widely questioned for a lack of transparency, questionable financial decisions, and an unwillingness to allow outside oversight. These same individuals now want the public to trust them with preparing sensitive tax documents and managing private financial data.
“During Dan’s time as chief, internal issues were swept under the rug. We were told to lie to the public — to say everything was fine when it wasn’t. I stayed to try and fix things, but eventually I was forced out for prioritizing my full-time job over KVEC. That’s not how volunteers should be treated.”

Now They’re Running a Tax Business?
Despite the unresolved concerns about their management of KVEC funds, Dan Tillman and Angie Tillman now operate Tillman Taxes & Books, Inc, located at:
801 Main Street, Suite 1E, Keokuk, IA 52632
(319) 313-8650

They promote the business with the slogan: “We Treat You Like Family.”
But the public has a right to question: if they haven’t earned trust managing a local volunteer organization’s finances, should they be entrusted with preparing your taxes?
What You Should Know Before Trusting Tillman Taxes
We’re not here to tell you where to do your taxes — that’s your choice.
But here’s what you should ask yourself first:
- Would you trust someone with your financial info who still controls a nonprofit with no independent oversight?
- If they weren’t transparent in a public role, will they be transparent with your tax return?
- Why are former KVEC members and community voices continuing to raise red flags?
