Our Mission

Linkenheimer’s mission is to be a partner in our clients’ success. We focus on our people, community and company culture, which allows us to provide the best possible team approach to developing positive financial solutions.

Icon

Who We Are

For over 90 years, Linkenheimer LLP has helped privately held and family-owned businesses do more than keep score — we help them plan what’s next. Whether you’re scaling, transitioning, or navigating something you didn’t see coming, our advisory-first team brings the big-picture thinking and long-range strategies that move businesses forward. We go beyond traditional accounting and tax services to deliver tools like cash flow projections, succession planning, and financing alternatives — all grounded in relationships built to last. Our team sticks around because the culture is real, and we work best with business owners who think the same way: forward. Based in Santa Rosa and connected globally through the Alliott Global Alliance, we’ve been named one of North Bay’s Best Places to Work 13 years running — and an active part of our community since 1932.

Why Us

When you work with Linkenheimer, your impact reaches further than you think. We’ve always believed that being partners in our clients’ success means more than growing businesses — it means using that success to change lives. Locally, our team commits over 900 hours a year to the community through nonprofit boards, rotary memberships, and hands-on service across Sonoma County. Globally, we’ve been on the ground in Nicaragua since 2008, funding free mobile eye care clinics and building the Sabalos Surgery Center to bring advanced surgical and diagnostic care to 30,000 people in the remote San Juan River region who had none. Every client relationship we build helps fuel that work. We’re a Santa Rosa firm with a global footprint — and our clients are part of the reason why.

Meet Our Team

We feel our people are our greatest asset. We strive to create a fun, positive, team based work environment that results in quality work for our clients.

What Client’s Say

Thank you to all of our amazing clients for the positive words and for allowing us to be a partner in your success.

Wildbrine

Linkenheimer has been an invaluable asset to our business.  Honestly, we signed on with Linkenheimer to “just do the darn taxes”, initially thinking of this relationship as a necessary evil.   Our relationship has turned into so much more.  Linkenheimer has been right by our side to advise us in most every major business decision.  Linkenheimer has been proactive in bringing initiatives that we would never have considered that have saved us a lot of money.   We have had a few different businesses and, in the process, employed a few different CPA firms.  The relationship with Linkenheimer has been the best of all those.  We don’t think of Linkenheimer as “our CPAs”, we think of Linkenheimer as our business partner.

Exchange Bank

As a Trust Officer for Exchange Bank Trust & Investment Management, I’ve had the pleasure of working with several local CPA firms over the years, including Linkenheimer. The Linkenheimer team is experienced, courteous and efficient, and they can be counted upon to help navigate even the most complex income, estate and GST tax issues affecting the trusts we administer.

Awards

Community Involvement

Linkenheimer is dedicated to our community locally and abroad and we encourage our staff to participate in giving back.
