Meet the Business Owner

Chris F.

Business Owner

I grew up in Hastings, attended Hastings High School, then spent four years at Michigan Technological University in Houghton where I received my BA in Business Administration and learned to downhill ski. Yes, it is cold up there in the winter, but it’s a «dry» cold. I began my career in accounting with John L. Walker, PC in 1981 and became a partner in 1990, when the firm’s name was changed to Walker & Fluke, Certified Public Accountants.

My specialties within the firm include:

Small business accounting and consulting

Individual and business tax preparation

Tax planning and consulting

Individual financial strategies

Estate planning

Computerized accounting systems

My goal is to provide clients not only with numbers, but to provide assistance and guidance with all their financial goals.
