History of Business: As 2013 comes to a finish, it’s time to start thinking about taxes. Since 1997, the firm of Wahl, Willemse & Wilson, LLP, has been providing quality accounting services while operating in downtown Turlock. With a focus on developing individual relationships with their clients, the partners and staff members of the firm have been providing financial and accounting services to the Turlock area for more than 30 years altogether.

Partners and Certified Public Accountants Gary Wahl, Michael Willemse, and Amy Wilson bring a myriad of experience to the Turlock community, sharing the belief that each and every client is unique and should be treated accordingly.

With over 10 years of public accounting experience, Wilson received her CPA license in 2005 and joined as a partner with the firm in 2006. Aside from being a member of the California Society of Certified Public Accountants, Wilson has also shown a dedication to her community having served as the treasurer of the Turlock Community Theatre and the Turlock Sunrise Rotary. She has also been involved with the Turlock Downtown Property Owners Association and the Legacy Circle of Emanuel Hospital.
