Overview
About our office
Brainerd sits at the center of Minnesota lake country: tourism, seasonal businesses, agriculture, and a year-round small business community that has its own rhythms. Michael, Mike, and Jennie understand those rhythms. They've built a practice for clients who need an accountant that understands what it means to run a business where summer is everything and the rest of the year is when the real financial work happens.
