15 YEARS OF ROTH & COMPANY
December 17, 2005
Five national-firm accountants jumped the fence and started Roth & Company 15 years ago today. A rare photo of the fab five, their first employee, and their first photocopier:
Left to right: Joe Kristan, Gordon Roth, Steve Weiss, Wayne Floerchinger, Tana Buchman, Tim Breitbach. Click on photo to enlarge.
Contrary to legend, we did not smuggle the photocopier out of the old firm in our briefcases one piece at a time. Note the stylish eyewear.
Gordon Roth and Steve Weiss have since been promoted -- they are clients now. Tana has also moved on, but Joe, Wayne and Tim have yet to find better work.
In our first year we had the good fortune to be joined by two national firm partners, Jerry Carlson and Les Heimsoth.

Les Heimsoth
Over the years Greg Clausen, Ross Smith, Jay Anderson and Doug Ross have also joined the firm as shareholders. We have gone from one non-shareholder employee to 24.
The paychecks have all cleared in 15 years, for which we thank our clients and our fine employees. Here's to you!

Congratulations on a big anniversary!
I hope the photocopier is retired along with Gordon and Steve.

Thanks! While Gordon and Steve are still going strong in their new careers, the copier has gone to the big parts dump in the sky...

Mazel Tov, Joe!
Oh, and I *love* the eyewear!
