Russ Minkemann started his own firm in August of 1980.
His independent spirit laid the foundation for what Minkemann and Associates is today.
In 1981, Russ and partner, Mike Sanders, bought Thomas Walker's accounting practice.
The practice included approximately 200 tax clients and three bookkeepers.
In 1983, they merged with Donna Mathew's firm.
This merger increased their bookkeepers to five and substantially increased their tax clients.
In 1984, Mike sold his portion of the firm to Russ, and Russ became sole owner again.

If you own a family business, retirement isn't simply a matter of deciding not to go into the office anymore.
You've got some critical questions to answer like.
The family dynamic complicates the whole transition because of the relationships and emotions involved.
Most people are not comfortable discussing topics such as aging, death, and financial affairs.
Comfortable or not, succession planning should be a priority for any family business considering that more than seven out of ten family-owned businesses fail to survive the transition from founder to second generation, typically falling prey either to estate taxes or family discord - or both.
