History of the Firm
Foothills Accounting & Tax, PLLC was originally founded in 1973. In 1997 Robert A. Johnston, Jr. bought the practice with the vision of growing Foothills Accounting, Inc. into a business offering a wide variety of financial services. Bob employs a staff of highly qualified people who share his work ethic and his desire to provide quality work and excellent service at every level.

Bob’s vision came with his more than 25 years of experience in financial management. Prior to his acquisition of Foothills Accounting, Inc. Bob was the Chief Financial Officer for KQED, Inc., the third largest public television station in the country. Under Bob’s leadership, he established a formalized Financial Policy and Procedure Manual; installed a new computer system; initiated, planned, and spearheaded a bond issue which resulted in the financing of KQED’s new building; and managed the transfer of KQED’s pension fund assets into a more secure environment.

Bob has been working with individuals and businesses for 40 years, providing each client with personalized, hands-on service. Along with his B.S. from St. Mary’s College (Moraga, California) Bob is an Enrolled Agent. His professionalism and his integrity are the hallmarks of Foothills Accounting, Inc.

His core belief regarding each client is to “exceed your expectations.”
