Richard “Tiger” Schmitt, CPA, founded his practice in 1984.  Now the oldest CPA firm in Mendota Heights, it remains located where it began at 750 South Plaza Drive in Mendota Heights, Minnesota, near the intersection of Highway 62 and Dodd Road (Highway 149).

He has been preparing taxes for individuals and businesses since Tax Year 1974, (which happens to be the same year the IRA was born).  Those were the days, he says, “when I would grab four copies of every federal form and three sheets of carbon paper to generate the copies needed; and, if I made a mistake I had to start all over…”.   Thankfully, those days are gone.  

The deep knowledge and expertise gained over all these years, however remains.  He works with people on a personal level, leveraging his experience to understand each person’s unique situation and needs, advising and developing solutions to achieve the best results within the law.

Today, he is joined by staff who have extensive experience in bookkeeping, accounting, payroll, and sales tax.

(And, by the way, not comfortable using a CPA named “Tiger”?
Then, go ahead & use “Mr. Tiger” until you feel more comfortable… 🙂
