My name is M. Lane, and I almost never write reviews--but I'm making an exception because Barton…read moreWalter Krier (BWK) and John@BWK have shown a level of professionalism, expertise, and generosity unlike anything I've experienced. In my opinion, they are among the most exceptional CPA's and Business Advisors in the industry. When I moved to Minnesota in 2023, I contacted BWK to prepare my taxes. From our very first conversation, I was struck by the depth of knowledge and business insight that John had--he is a true expert. During one discussion, I mentioned a business venture from over a decade ago that had resulted in a significant loss, something I had long written off. He listened closely and said he had an idea--unconventional, never attempted before, but potentially viable. What followed was years of dedication and countless hours on his part. His approach was innovative, bold, and far beyond the standard playbook. His commitment never wavered. The level of effort he put in exceeded the work of ten CPA's I've dealt with in the past. The result? I recovered over half a million dollars from a business that failed in 2012. At 65, this has been one of the most unexpected and meaningful outcomes of my life. BWK treated me with genuine care, respect, and concern--like family. I wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend this company. Thank you, BWK, for everything you've done.
