Laura Peitzmeier – Comptroller/Cashier

Grounded by Growth.

As Comptroller/Cashier, Laura keeps a close eye on the financial heartbeat of Farmers & Merchants Bank. With a background in accounting, Laura brings a strong foundation in auditing, bookkeeping, taxes, and payroll. Her expertise ensures that everything from daily operations to annual reports runs smoothly and goes off without a hitch.

Laura thrives on a challenge. She believes that real growth, both personally and professionally, comes from stepping outside your comfort zone, something her role gives her the opportunity to do every day. She’s also energized by the bank’s continual drive to improve and streamline processes for both employees and customers.

What really sets Farmers & Merchants Bank apart for her is the people. She says the supportive, close-knit culture makes work feel more like family, and that connection, both with customers and coworkers, makes every day more meaningful.

Fueled by Family.

Outside of work, Laura is happiest with her husband and daughter by her side.

Whether it’s walking her three dogs, enjoying the outdoors, or visiting grandparents on the weekend, Laura treasures time with her people and pets. It’s the simple joys—and a few muddy paw prints—that keep her smiling.
