About us
Big-firm rigour, small-firm attention
We are a team of 14 CPAs, enrolled agents and bookkeepers working from a converted warehouse on Washington Avenue.
Our story
Started by two auditors who wanted to be useful
Priya Raman and Marcus Lindqvist met auditing Fortune 500 companies downtown. They spent their days helping finance teams of fifty people, then their evenings helping friends who ran bakeries and machine shops make sense of a shoebox of receipts.
In 2014 they rented a single room in the North Loop and built the firm they wished their friends could hire: fixed monthly fees, one advisor per client, and books closed while the month still matters.
Ten years later we serve more than 240 businesses across the Twin Cities, from two-person design studios to manufacturers with 80 employees. The promise has not changed.
Nobody should find out how their year went in April.
