History of Menke & Company
The story of Menke & Company begins in 1990, when Ann M. Menke founded Ann M. Menke, CPA, PC. Like many true entrepreneurs, Ann reached a moment where her day job no longer challenged her curiosity or creativity. For that, we remain eternally grateful.
Rooted in People and Purpose
Menke & Company has always been, first and foremost, a people-centered firm. Our culture is guided by four core values we call
F R I C
Family First | Respect | Integrity | Community
Our definition of family extends beyond our team members to include their families and our clients. This “family first” mindset existed at Menke & Company long before it became a popular phrase, and it remains deeply ingrained in everything we do.
Respect is both earned and expected—among colleagues and in every client relationship. Integrity drives our decision-making and allows us to consistently deliver high-quality, ethical accounting services. And our community is always front of mind. We recognize that it takes a village to build a safe, strong, and thriving place to live and work. Our team gives generously of both time and resources, supporting local events and organizations whenever possible.
A Culture That Celebrates Together
At Menke & Company, we believe great work and great relationships deserve to be celebrated.
Our staff gathers often—from monthly happy hours and tax-season lunches to professional baseball games, family outings to Adventureland Park, and local gatherings at Harvestville Farms, we never shy away from a reason to come together.
These moments of connection strengthen our team and reflect the joy we find in working together.
Experience You Can Count On
Longevity is another hallmark of Menke & Company. Many of our staff members have been with the firm for more than 20 years. Others began their careers with us, pursued experience elsewhere, and later chose to return—bringing additional perspective back to the firm. That speaks volumes.
The grass truly is greener at Menke & Company—and we’re proud of the environment, relationships, and shared purpose that make it so.
