THE CLOUGH TEAM

Meet the Clough Team - CARLA HOULE

Carla Houle

Accounting Services Manager

How did you get here?
I grew up in Mandan, ND and moved to the Twin Cities after graduating from high school. I started working at OCL in July 1990 as a receptionist. I attended Metropolitan State University and earned my Bachelor of Science degree in accounting while working full time at the firm. I have been with the firm for over 30 years now.

What do you do here?
I am responsible for the accounting services team of the firm, where I assist our small business clients with accounting setup, clean up, and automation, along with their tax preparation and payroll needs.

What do you do when you’re not here?
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband and two kids. I love gardening and doing DIY projects in the summer and crocheting and traveling in the winter.

For nearly 100 years, the firm has served as Certified Public Accountants to individuals and businesses. After numerous partner and name changes, we became Olson, Clough & LeBlanc, Ltd. in 1985. In 2024 we rebranded as Clough (pronounced “Kluf”) to continue the legacy of retired partner Dick Clough, who played an integral role in the firm’s growth and high standard of service.
