Meet Some of Our Leaders

Our History

1975

Our legacy began in 1975 when two entrepreneurs – Norlin Boyum and Brian Barenscheer – joined together along with a staff of five to become Boyum & Barenscheer. Their vision was to create a CPA and advisory firm that offered exceptional service and insight to our clients with the benefit of warm and personal service.

2002

In 2002 the named partners turned over the reins to a larger partner group who brought additional service and industry expertise to the firm. Focused on expanded services, technology advancement and recruiting top talent, the firm has grown to over 150 seasoned professionals today, with offices in Bloomington, Arden Hills, and Scandia. Our reputation has stood the test of time and positioned us at one of the top 15 accounting firms in the Twin Cities.

2020

In January of 2020 Boyum Barenscheer merged with the Arden Hills based CPA firm Wilkerson Guthmann, combining their strengths and expertise along with a talented group of professionals. This merger brought together two firms with shared values of integrity, client-focused service, and a commitment to excellence, allowing us to expand our reach and enhance our service offerings for clients.

2025

In 2025 we are celebrating our 50th year in business. Since that time we have grown to over 120 people, who serve our clients in a variety of technical areas as well as industry specializations. Many of our professionals have grown up in entrepreneurial homes and understand the demands of business ownership. Others have dedicated personal time to helping community and nonprofit organizations make the world a better place. In the end, we’re a group of individuals who genuinely care about our clients and each other. Most importantly, we’re united in our continued mission: to help our clients succeed.
