Background and Experience

Bill Kunkler founded Kunkler Business Services LLC in 2010 after recognizing the unmet need within many early stage businesses for experienced financial management. Our current client base is heavily weighted in the IT sector. But our experience includes financial management in a number of other service sectors, including real estate, life science, hospitality and healthcare.
