Bill MellenthinCPA
An experienced financial executive and hands-on manager with a proven track record of leading companies and their accounting and finance departments through acquisitions, reorganization, refinancing, and growth.
Twenty-plus years of hands-on experience
Clarity in complicated situations
BM Management is the practice of Bill Mellenthin, CPA. He has worked as a CPA in public accounting, as a Chief Financial Officer in aerospace manufacturing and cannabusinesses, and as a Director of Finance in hospitality and food & beverage. That range matters in this work — forensic engagements, receiverships, and estates all depend on reading an unfamiliar set of books accurately, and quickly.
Because the practice is deliberately small, the person you meet is the person who does the work. Engagements are scoped with a defined end, and a good one leaves the department, the estate, or the entity running properly afterward.
What Bill Brings
A senior financial leader who is comfortable in the details and equally comfortable presenting to owners, lenders, counsel, and the court.
Public Accounting Discipline
A foundation built in a public accounting firm: strong technical financial reporting, a clean audit trail, and findings documented to a standard that holds up to outside scrutiny — including a court's.
Hands-On Management
Comfortable in the detail — reconstructing records, rebuilding a close, standing up a process — then handing back a function that runs without him.
