Certified Public Accountants

William H. (Bill) Bunch, CPA

William H. BunchWilliam (Bill) H. Bunch, CPA, PFS, president, William H. Bunch, CPA, PA, attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he earned a bachelor of science degree in accounting. Bill initially learned about accounting from his father, John Bunch, an accountant and banker in Asheboro, NC. His father taught him that balancing the books is just the first step: that analyzing the numbers and making recommendations are critical to guiding clients towards their goals.

The concept of setting and reaching goals, therefore, was ingrained in Bill early on by his father. As a natural progression, Bill founded his firm in 2001 on the premise of helping clients reach their personal and business goals via knowledgeable accounting, consulting and tax advice. He and his team of CPAs and other professionals service over 500 clients in the Chapel Hill area, including small business owners and individuals. At the firm, clients' overall goals are documented and examined and considered throughout the relationship. Prior to founding his firm, Bill was a partner in another local accounting firm and practiced accounting for over twenty years.

Bill began his career in public accounting while a student at UNC Chapel Hill in 1980. Many of his Pi Kappa Phi fraternity brothers were also accounting majors and they often studied together. After he graduated from UNC-CH in 1982, he earned his CPA and entered the field of public accounting. He joined the Chapel Hill Chamber Board of Directors in December 2002.

Bill has always been interested in the real estate arena, and using real estate as a means to build and acquire wealth and reduce taxes. He helps his accounting and consulting clients build their net worth and real estate holdings and fully understand the tax planning and tax obstacles that are involved in real estate acquisition and planning. Over the years he's assisted and consulted with clients with residential and commercial rental real estate purchases, property management, real estate development, office buildings and condominiums, like-kind exchanges, subdivision development, vacation homes, residential and commercial construction, and other areas in real estate.

Taxes are an integral part of any comprehensive financial plan whether business or personal. Preparing, reviewing, and signing thousands of tax returns over the years has enabled him to learn from his clients' situations what works and what doesn't. Clients in Chapel Hill and the surrounding area are diversified, exposing him to a myriad of financial activities where proper tax planning has resulted in significant tax savings for his clients.

In 1998, Bill's passion for small business consulting led him to join the Results Accounting Network (RAN-One), a worldwide network of accountants who specialize in working with businesses to increase profits and value, add structure, and a myriad of other consulting tools. Helping small- to medium-sized businesses grow to their full potential is the goal of the RAN-One network. Bill and his team take advantage of a wide array of software tools to help business owners and CFOs identify and monitor key performance indicators (KPI) to help manage businesses more profitably.
