Our Staff

At Copeland Buhl, we believe that exceptional client service hinges on the personal dedication that comes from of each and every person who represents our firm. We are pleased to have 55 employees and 10 partners ready and willing to serve you. But we are also proud of the individual contribution and commitment that each of these team members makes to bring you incomparable service and attention. Our firm is large enough to provide full-service expertise and small enough to nurture relationships.

We are more than just accountants. We are intelligent, caring individuals. We enjoy what we do, and it shows. The people of Copeland Buhl are continually looking for ways to add value, growth and success—not only to our clients’ businesses but to the communities in which we live. Many of our employees are active in various civic and charitable projects outside of the office.
