Who I Work With

Owners of small and family businesses in Alexandria and Central Minnesota, including farm operations, professional practices, and local service businesses, who want their business decisions to support their family’s long-term plan.

Common Questions I Help Answer

  • How much should I pay myself, and is my business structure still the right one?

  • Which retirement plan makes sense for my business and employees?

  • How do I avoid surprises with quarterly tax payments?

  • What is my business worth, and how do I prepare to sell it or pass it on?

  • How does my business fit into my retirement and estate plan?
