CPAs Who Go Beyond Tax Planning
Established in 1964 in Portland’s Hollywood district, this firm already offered extraordinary tax planning services. Since then, I have evolved our company beyond the typical Minneapolis accounting firm to include estate planning and wealth advisory because I wanted to take care of my family’s legacy wealth and help others do the same.
That’s why I show up for my clients, not just from January through April, but ALL year long. I’ve seen the disaster that is created as a result of poor tax planning. And I want better for you and your family.
I enjoy connecting with my clients to understand what’s most important to them so I can help them make their dreams a reality, in this life and for the legacy they leave behind.
On behalf of my family and our amazing team at Downing & Co, I look forward to working with you so you can save in taxes today and ensure your legacy for the future.

The Board handles the licensing and renewal of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), CPA firms, and Registered Accounting Practitioners. It also enforces compliance with state laws and rules governing the profession, investigates complaints, and disciplines licensees when necessary. Additionally, the Board approves continuing professional education (CPE) requirements to ensure that licensed professionals remain up-to-date on current practices.
