Elevate Hennepin advisors offer accounting support for businesses large and small that are registered with the state and located in Hennepin County. While they may support some implementation activities, business owners are responsible for ongoing maintenance and day-to-day operations. Businesses should be prepared to engage their own resources for complex projects that are anticipated to take more than 25 hours.
Contact an advisor below to help you identify and plan for your accounting next step or visit our Resource Directory to find more strategic planning options or resources across all our support categories.
