I have been employed in the field of accounting for over 30 years, graduating from the University of Toledo with a BBA, majoring in accounting in 1984 and passed the CPA exam in the late 80’s.  His specialty is working with small to mid-size business. He is specifically with business planning, working with growth companies, and helping to improve profitability and cash flow of businesses in various industries.

I currently own an accounting firm, The Bottom Line, specializing in multi-state and federal tax and small to mid-size business issues and have been self-employed for 17 years.  In addition to traditional accounting functions, I consult with small business owners and performs as an “external- controller” for some of them.

Accomplishments/positions:

As Controller, CFO and International purchasing manager of Clarke Power Products: I have helped facilitate the growth of the company from $5M annual sales to $20M, while increasing efficiency, streamlining administrative functions, managing cash flow and banking relationships and helping to increase profitability.

Les was also the Controller of New Waste Concepts during a time when it doubled in size and set up many systems and helped lay the infrastructure for their growth, and was a Divisional controller for OmniSource Corporation. Before this he worked for 5 years as a staff accountant for Max Dorfmeister and Company.

Kimberly Burke
Office Manager

Kimberly had an interview with David V Brown on Alexis Rd. in 1997, this began her career in accounting. David wasn’t always a patient teacher, but Kim learned a lot about accounting with him. Around the year of 2000 David bought another accounting firm which specialized in payroll, thus began Kim’s new position as payroll specialist. Due to illness David sold his practice in 2008 to Bay Accounting.

Again Kim was beginning a new chapter in her career. This new journey will take Kim into a crash course in personal tax returns. Kim found another field in accounting that she grew to enjoy. Alas, in 2012 Bay Accounting was put up for sale.

In 2013 Les Marsh purchased Bay Accounting. Kim came along for the ride. With the help from Les the transition was not as bumpy a road as one might think. November 2014 the Alexis Rd. business and the Sterns Rd. business merged to form one business. The hardest part for Kim was remembering all the new company names when answering the phone! As the company continues to grow, so has Kim.

Kim has two grown children and 4 grandchildren. When not working or playing with her grandkids you will find Kim buried in one of her many mystery books.
