Minneapolis CPA Firm
We opened a Maplewood location in the 1980s. In 2007, an acquisition led to the opening of an Edina office location. We combined our Edina and Maplewood offices in October 2016. Our Minneapolis CPA office is located in the Valley Square Corporate Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Here Are 5 Things You May Not Know About Us:
We Give Back
Giving back to our communities is important to us. Every year, we organize multiple team volunteer events, such as bagging food at Channel One, raking leaves with Hammer Residents, and adopting a nearby park to help clean.
We're Paperless
Smith Schafer is striving to be a paperless firm, and we try our best to prepare everything electronically. We offer a secure online portal to clients to facilitate the exchange of financial information and documents.
We help educate
We believe in providing a continuous learning environment for all of our clients. We send high-level content to our clients and email list groups. We also host several free events and webinars throughout the year to help educate our clients on current business topics.
We have strong roots
Our roots go all the way back to 1971. Richard Smith co-founded the company in Rochester, MN. Within five years, Al Schafer joined the practice and renamed the firm Smith Schafer and Company, not knowing that this six-person accounting firm would become one of the largest public accounting firms in Minnesota, with three locations and approximately 100 employees.
We're connected
From our local roots to our global connection, our active involvement with peers ensures our clients receive a large firm's resources but have the relationship experience with a small firm. Smith Schafer is a member of PrimeGlobal, the third largest association of independent accounting firms in the world, giving us access to a wide range of specialists with accounting and tax experience.
