Michael Bark, CPA/CVA is a founding Partner at Bull Moose Financial.  With over 20 years of experience, he specializes in helping dental practices and other medical providers understand their business and taxes.

Mike has helped dentists start and grow their dental practices by providing easy to understand financial statements and benchmarks along with honest advice.

As a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) he has performed over 200 practice valuations and has assisted banks in determining the viability of a purchase price.  Mike also helps both buyers and sellers assess the value of their practice and identifies what can be improved to increase the value.

Outside of work, Mike enjoys going to concerts and baseball games.  He is an accomplished chef and pretty good at barbeque.  Like many men, he spends at least 15 minutes a day thinking about the Roman Empire and reads a lot of books on the subject.  He’s a big live music fan and has seen more concerts than he can count, but lists seeing Pearl Jam, The National, Bob Mould, Radiohead, My Morning Jacket and Metallica among the best.

He also coaches several of his kid’s sports teams and is the President of the Junior Hilltopper Football program at Marquette.  In the past, he served as an associate board member for the Milwaukee County Zoo and served on the Finance Council of Christ King Parish.

Mike lives in Wauwatosa with his wife Rebecca and their 4 sons.
