BERT E. FAULK, CPA

Founding Partner

As one of the founding partners of Faulk & Winkler, Bert has more than 50 years of experience in public accounting. His responsibilities involved providing organizational accounting and tax issue guidance to governmental and healthcare organizations. He also provided certified accounting advice and consulting to a variety of industries.

The depth of knowledge in accounting principles that Bert provided to his clients is just one of the reasons many of them remained loyal to him over the years. Bert often felt he should be the one paying for the opportunity to work with so many worthwhile people, prospects and organizations.

Bert’s passion for accounting developed while taking classes at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Shortly after graduating, he was drafted into the US Army where he served for one year and nine months. The military taught him the value of communication at all levels of an organization. After the army, he joined the firm of Bourgeois, Bennet, Thokey & Hickey where he spent the next fourteen years.

At a young age Bert learned the importance of working hard, taking responsibility for your actions and treating others with respect and kindness. These qualities created the base for his professional success and positively impacted the way he interacts with his clients and colleagues. With a genuine interest in his clients, Bert truly listens to their needs and concerns. He always focused on helping them improve their financial outlook.

A Louisiana native, Bert currently lives in Baton Rouge with his wife, Tina. Following his retirement in 2026, he enjoys traveling and spending time with his friends and family.

“My goal has always been to proactively impact the well-being of those I serve. To accomplish this, I listen to the hopes and concerns of my clients so I can tailor a plan specific to their needs.”‍ ‍
