He has extensive experience with closely-held entities in diverse industries, public company and SEC reporting, litigation support and experience in guiding companies through mergers & acquisitions. He also serves as a tax liaison for clients. Industries Bill has served include manufacturing, construction & lumber, software, mortgage bankers (HUD & FHA), restaurant & entertainment enterprises, nursery operations, franchisors & franchisees, real estate, distribution, and private country clubs.
A graduate of Gustavus Adolphus College, Bill is an active member in professional societies including the AICPA, MNCPA and the ACFE, as well as a mentor to students in the business & finance program at Gustavus Adolphus College.
