It’s Not About the Numbers—It’s About What the Numbers Can Do for You.
At Marlandale, we believe that running a business is about more than just balancing the books. It’s about building something that supports your goals, funds your dreams, and gives you the freedom to live life on your terms.
We work with service business owners who are ready to take control of their businesses, protect their profits, and build something bigger than themselves. Whether you’re just starting out or scaling to the next level, we’re here to guide you through every stage of the journey.
From understanding your numbers to creating a plan for growth, we help you make confident decisions so you can focus on what matters most
—your business, your vision, and your life.
To empower business owners with the clarity, tools, and strategies to build profitable, sustainable businesses that align with their goals and dreams
Marjorie Diephouse, CPA
Chief Innovation Officer
I’m Marjorie, the founder of Marlandale, and I’m passionate about helping business owners like you turn their vision into reality. With years of experience working with service businesses, I understand the challenges you face and the opportunities you can seize.
When I’m not helping clients build their empires, you’ll find me creating award-winning art, planning the next RV adventure with my husband Dale and our poodle Thunder, or discovering a new Cabernet that pairs perfectly with a quiet evening and a great idea.
Dale Applegate
Chief Technology Officer & Director of Adventure
Equal parts tech genius and adventurer, Dale ensures every system runs smoothly — from tech integrations to business operations. His work behind the scenes helps clients simplify, automate, and stay ahead of the curve.
When he’s not troubleshooting tech or building out systems, Dale’s probably behind the wheel of their motorcoach, chasing good weather, great fishing, and the next unforgettable view with Marjorie and Thunder.

Our team specializes in handling the details—whether it’s bookkeeping, tax preparation, or operational support—so I can focus on providing you with the strategic guidance and big-picture planning that drives your business forward.
