Our History

Our firm was started by Dale Matthews, CPA in 1954. Over the years, employees and partners have come and gone. Businesses we’ve served have opened and closed. Technology has changed the way business works, and the roles and skill set of employees in all areas of business. Consolidations have nearly eliminated the independent grain elevators that were an important part of our business 30 years ago. The advent of personal computers, and the availability of accounting software such as QuickBooks ™ has changed the way we relate with some customers.

In 2017, the firm adopted the name Lashier, Bonefas, Baldwin & Co, PC.

In 2026, the firm changed its name to Hilding, Bruns & Co, PC.

Since its inception, our firm has sought to add value to our customers, using our many years of expertise and high ethical values. In all areas of accounting, bookkeeping, income tax preparation, farm management, trust services and business consulting, we strive to give the best service to customers we can provide.
