Overview
About our office
Salem is Oregon's capital city, which means a client base that ranges from state employees and small retailers to agricultural operations and professional service firms. Gerald has been working through that mix for years, and what he's learned is that the businesses here respond to straightforward advice delivered by someone who's been paying attention to the local economy. No templates, no guesswork.
