Firm History
Our firm was founded by Del Lienemann, Sr. on October 1, 1945. In the beginning, our firm specialized in handling the needs of small businesses and the personal income tax returns of the small business owners and their employees. As the tax laws became more and more complex, the number of individuals needing personal income tax return assistance began to increase significantly. Today, our firm has a diverse group of individuals who utilize our services for the preparation of their individual income tax returns and a wide range of small businesses who utilitize our services to make their businesses run more efficiently and, as a result, more profitably.
In 1983, Del Lienemann, Jr. became the Managing Partner and the firm was incorporated as a professional corporation. In 1998, Lynn Simonsen became a Partner in the firm.
