Kirstie Burton, CPA, Partner
I have worked in public accounting for the last six years, most recently as an Audit Manager. I specialize in the insurance, healthcare, and not-for-profit industries. I was attracted to accounting because I wanted to be challenged and learn something new every day. I love working with different companies and organizations to meet their people, see how they operate, and learn more about their business. I received a B.S. in accounting and finance from Regis University and will finish my M.B.A.in Accounting and Finance in December.
Marilyn Alexander Johnson, CPA, Partner
My background is in both public and corporate accounting. Most recently, I have worked with startups in the health and wellness space as both a senior accountant and a controller. During my time in public accounting, I specialized in financial services, healthcare, and nonprofits. I enjoy accounting because it allows me to connect with people on a subject that is vital to the health of the business, and I get to contribute in a meaningful way. I received a B.S. in accounting and finance and a Master of Accountancy from the University of Colorado Boulder. I am a Colorado native who grew up on a working cow-calf operation in Eastern Colorado. I find a passion in agriculture, as well as health and wellness.

I began my career with five years in public accounting in Denver, Colorado, focusing on local governments and manufacturing before transitioning into Federal consulting with an emphasis on the healthcare and defense sectors. Accounting allows me to interact with clients across a broad range of industries and provide valuable insights into the health of their businesses. Identifying strategic opportunities has always been exciting to me, and the field of accounting provides me with the opportunity to assist businesses in making the best decisions while simultaneously ensuring complete compliance with accounting standards. Outside of the office, you can find me enjoying the outdoors with my two dogs or riding a motorcycle through scenic areas. I grew up in Colorado and received a B.S. in accounting and finance and a Master of Accountancy from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

My background combines law enforcement and military service, giving me a strong foundation in discipline, organization, and quick decision-making. I spent five years in fast-paced, high-stakes law enforcement environments while simultaneously serving in the Army National Guard as an Engineer Officer. I have eight years of total service, including six years as a commissioned officer focusing on operations and planning. These experiences taught me how to stay calm under pressure, manage competing priorities, and solve problems quickly. I bring that same approach to supporting Burton & Johnson clients with dependable, detail-oriented assistance. Outside of work, I value the flexibility to spend time with my husband and young children and stay present for the moments that matter most.
