Minnesota's leading accounting firm · Serving MN & WI since 2006
Business Accounting Services in Minneapolis
One firm instead of four vendors who don't talk to each other.
Most growing businesses end up with a patchwork: a bookkeeper here, a payroll company there, a tax preparer once a year, nobody with the full picture. When something breaks, you're stuck coordinating between vendors who don't share information with each other. HAR Financial Services consolidates all of it into one team, one system of record, one point of accountability. Founded in 2006. Still owner-operated. Still answering the phone.
How this works
Most clients don't start with every HAR service at once. A typical relationship begins with one core need — often bookkeeping or payroll — and expands naturally as the business grows or as a specific gap becomes obvious, like needing tax planning ahead of a big year, or CFO-level reporting once a major decision comes up.
Because everything runs through one team, adding a service doesn't mean starting over with someone new; it means the same people who already know your business take on the next piece.
How the pieces fit together
These aren't eight separate products sold independently — they're one continuous flow of work. Bookkeeping produces clean monthly numbers. Those numbers feed Tax planning and CFO Advisory reporting. Payroll compliance and Compliance monitoring run in parallel, catching issues before they surface at year-end.
And if something ever does go wrong — a licensing review, an IRS notice — Audit Support and Healthcare Accounting specialists step in with full context already in hand, because it's the same firm, not a cold handoff to someone unfamiliar with your account.
Everything under one roof.
A seamless financial ecosystem for established small-to-mid-sized operations.

Consolidating Four Vendors Into One Relationship
A growing professional services firm came to HAR using a payroll company for payroll, a separate bookkeeper for monthly reconciliation, a tax preparer only at filing time, and no CFO-level reporting at all — four separate relationships, none of which talked to each other. A reconciliation issue during tax season had taken weeks to resolve simply because the tax preparer and bookkeeper couldn't coordinate directly.
The Outcome:
After consolidating all four functions under HAR, the same issue — when it came up again the following year — was resolved the same week, because it was one team looking at one set of records instead of four parties trying to coordinate across separate systems.
Industries served
HAR works with businesses across nearly every sector in the Twin Cities metro and greater Minnesota, including restaurants and hospitality, retail and e-commerce, construction and trades, real estate and property management, transportation and logistics, professional services firms, and licensed healthcare and human services providers.
Each engagement is built around the specific reporting, compliance, and cash flow realities of that industry rather than a generic small-business template.
Visit our Minneapolis office
HAR is headquartered in the heart of Minneapolis, a short drive from downtown and easily reachable from across the Twin Cities metro, along Park Avenue South near the intersection with East 23rd Street.
Walk-ins are welcome during business hours (10am–5pm), and most first consultations happen in person, at the office, with the person who'll actually be working on your account — not a salesperson who hands you off afterward.

Frequently
Asked Questions.
What is included in full-service business accounting?
HAR's full-service accounting covers bookkeeping, payroll, tax preparation and planning, CFO-level advisory, compliance monitoring, and audit support — all delivered by one team instead of separate vendors.
Does HAR work with businesses outside of healthcare?
Yes. While HAR's practice began serving Minnesota's licensed healthcare and human services providers, it now serves businesses across every industry, including restaurants, contractors, retail, real estate, transportation, and professional services firms.
Can I meet with someone in person?
Yes. HAR's Minneapolis office is open 10am–5pm, and most new clients have their first consultation in person at 2304 Park Ave S.
How do I know which service is the right starting point for my business?
A free consultation is built specifically to answer that — HAR reviews your current situation and recommends where to start rather than defaulting to the largest package.
Do I need every service, or can I start with just one?
Most clients start with a single service — often bookkeeping or payroll — and add others as the relationship grows. There's no requirement to bundle everything from day one.
What if I only want to move part of my accounting to HAR?
That's a common starting point — many clients begin with one service at HAR while keeping another elsewhere, then consolidate over time once they see how the relationship works.
