Our Story
Three Decades of Helping Businesses Grow
Mattson Gleason was founded in 1991 to fill a gap: Minneapolis small businesses deserved an accounting firm that treated them like partners, not just accounts. For over three decades, that mission hasn’t changed.
While most accountants are focused on what happened last quarter, we’re focused on what happens next. Whether you’re launching a new venture, planning for succession, or just trying to make sense of your books, we’re the team that makes complex financial decisions feel manageable.
Now backed by Fortress Accounting, we bring the same trusted, personal service the Twin Cities has relied on — plus expanded resources, modern tools, and national-level expertise.
Our Bloomington office serves businesses across Minneapolis, St. Paul, Lakeville, Burnsville, and the entire South Metro. Whether you’re a home-based startup or an established company, we scale our services to fit.

Why Mattson Gleason
We Do Things Differently
You’ve probably worked with an accounting firm before. Here’s what makes working with us feel different.
Future-Focused, Not Backward-Looking
Most accountants tell you what happened. We help you plan what happens next — so you’re never caught off guard by a tax bill or cash flow crunch.
We Talk With You, Not Over You
No jargon, no confusing reports that collect dust. We explain what matters in plain English and make sure you understand every decision.
Actually Responsive
We pick up the phone. We answer emails. We don’t disappear after April 15th. Your business runs year-round and so do we.
Partners, Not Just Providers
We ask the hard questions, spot opportunities, and create actionable plans. We’re invested in your success — not just your filing deadline.
Fortress-Backed Resources
With Fortress Accounting behind us, you get access to fractional CFO services, wealth management, and specialized industry expertise when you need it.
Deep Local Knowledge
Minnesota tax law has its own quirks. We know them inside and out — from state-specific deductions to local business regulations across the metro.

Built On Trust
