About Michael Kimmey

Michael has lived most of his life in the world of entrepreneurship and small business. Starting as young boy then as a young adult, working weekends, summers and late nights in his father's small business, Michael witnessed firsthand the risks, struggles and challenges of starting, owning and operating a small business. He eventually became a partner with his father and was the key person who was instrumental in growing the business from its meager beginnings to a multi-million dollar operation. He personally navigated the company through the process of its eventual sale to a major competitor.

Knowing that a small to midsized business becomes the largest asset of a business owner’s net worth this often means the owner’s financial well-being and retirement is extremely dependent on the successful transfer or sale of their business. Michael Kimmey has assisted dozens of business owners with the start-up, purchase or sale of their business. He has purchased, developed and sold a number of businesses himself.

During the ownership of the family business, Michael experienced the demoralizing impact of taxation on the profits and personal finances as a business owner and the importance of a trusted financial advisor. While working with his clients, Michael makes a priority of providing strategic tax advice in order save his clients as much as he can in taxes.

In 2007 he purchased his current accounting and tax firm which has a 40 year history of providing the tax, financial planning and accounting needs to a wide variety of industries and a growing client base. The firm’s objective is to give small and mid-size business owners the advice, attention and service they deserve. "We are committed to helping clients build their business and their personal wealth with customized advice and financial planning to help them achieve their life long goals."
