Randall H. Beard, CPA

Partner

Randy Beard is the partner in charge of our Rhinelander office. He is currently in charge of audit and accounting technical issues related to Wipfli’s nonprofit and governmental practice area. In that role, Randy serves as a concurring reviewer of nonprofit and governmental financial statements throughout the firm. He has assisted several clients in obtaining the Certificate of Achievement in Financial Reporting. Randy enhanced his experience by being a financial statement reviewer for the Association of School Business Officials for over 10 years. He has provided significant insight into obtaining the certificate for clients.

Working in a small office and being a reference source for other offices have provided Randy with a broad foundation from which to serve and advise clients. Over his career, there are very few areas of the tax and auditing fields that he has not been involved in.
