Government
Proud to Serve the People
That Serve the Public.
There are Over 1 Billion Reasons to Trust Us.
No one is more dedicated to helping Michigan governments meet the needs of their local communities than the team at Maner Costerisan. With budgets tight, resources limited and talent in short supply, we’re able to step in as a resource any time and anywhere we’re needed. We’ve audited more than 1.2 billion dollars in federal funds and are committed to helping local governments stay compliant. Partnering with us gives small and large governments the strength of proven financial expertise.
The Team You Turn to When You’ve Earned the Public’s Trust.
Our dedicated Government team provides day-to-day commitment from partner level members of our firm. In fact, we don’t take the term advisor lightly; we’ll bridge the gap between your available resources and smart, data-driven decisions that the future of your municipality hangs on. We’ll help you lower costs, minimize disruptions to daily operations and maximize the potential of your precious financial resources.

A strong presenter and quick study, Bill is committed to sharing his knowledge and insight on all things government audit and accounting with his clients and teammates. Bill consistently provides valuable contributions in the form of thought leadership articles on Maner’s website and delivers engaging presentations at industry conferences and committees. Furthermore, he actively takes charge of keeping the entire government team well-informed about the constantly evolving requirements for government entities of various scales.
Bill discovered his love for accounting after taking a single accounting class at Michigan State University. His passion for the profession continues to grow, as he’s able to offer clients new solutions to complex problems. Accounting offers him the opportunity to work in a diverse and dynamic industry while helping clients improve their operations and meet their strategic objectives.
In his free time, Bill enjoys active hobbies, including hockey, golf, and skiing. He and his wife, Michele, live in DeWitt, Michigan, with their two children, Will and Josalin, and their dog, Stanley Cup.
Growing up, I was considered a leader due to the hard work and dedication I put into activities. Hard work set up a good foundation of what has driven my success.
When I joined the parenthood rank, it emphasized never knowing what tomorrow can bring and always being 100% prepared for the next day. Making the most out of every day and accomplishing the task at hand changed the way I work every day and drove my success.
