Now retired from Abdo, Scott maintains a passion for helping family-owned and closely-held businesses stay ahead of the curve.
A longtime CPA, Scott understands how a relevant, well-thought-out approach can benefit his clients. He believes in being prepared for managing change in a business and knows that a solution that worked five years—or five months—ago may no longer make sense.
Helping family-owned and closely held businesses envision a clear path to their goals was central to Scott’s practice for more than 40 years. Beyond tax preparation and financial reporting, he guided clients in a variety of industries overcome issues such as cash flow management, financing and budgeting, and tax, succession and estate planning.
Scott’s expertise has made a difference for his community, too. In addition to serving on his church’s finance council, he is a former city planning commissioner and a past chairman of the Minnesota Society of CPAs’ Financial Reporting Committee.
Now retired from full-time practice, Scott enjoys more time fishing in Minnesota and Canada, as well as traveling to warm locales with his wife. He remains a steady presence in the firm as he continues to consult on special projects and share his vast knowledge and expertise as needed.
A good day fishing
