About Our Firm

Our firm's founder, Gordon R. Owens, began his CPA career with Rutten Welling & Co. in Detroit, which later merged with Haskins & Sells and is known today as Deloitte.  Licensed in the State of Michigan in 1958, and with a very strong audit and tax background, Gordon helped grow those firms and mold his career.  In 1977, Gordon started his own CPA firm to service businesses, individuals, and housing cooperatives with high quality audits, reviews, and tax preparation work.  With the growth of new construction and developer conversion condominium associations throughout the Midwest, the firm increased its emphasis on providing services to these community associations. As the firm's client base grew, Linda R. Strussione joined the firm in 1983. Gordon and Linda continued to grow the practice together until his retirement in 1991, when Linda became the owner of the succeeding firm Owens & Strussione, P.C.
