The people behind the practice

A focused, hands-on principal — supported by a trusted network of specialists we bring in when your work calls for them.

Principal & Founder

Gary Glessner, MSFA


Gary founded Glessner to give growing businesses something rare: an accountant who is also a genuine technologist. He pairs a Master's in Forensic Accounting and QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification with years of hands-on software development.

That combination means he can close your books, find what others miss, and build the automation and custom software that make the whole operation run better — all while completing his CPA licensure to bring full tax filing in-house.
