About Us and Our Commitment

Four decades of trusted accounting shaped by integrity and personal service.

The Foundation of Our Firm

Manning & Associates CPAs, LLC was founded in 1980. The firm represents clients in a broad range of business activity. By playing an integral yet independent role in our client’s management teams, we have achieved expertise in a number of industries. Manning & Associates CPAs, LLC is a full service firm providing a broad array of services, including accounting, computerization, auditing, tax, retirement planning, estate planning, valuation and management advisory services.

The firm was founded on the principle of commitment to providing personal service and producing the highest quality work. To advance our efforts in this regard, the firm belongs to the Private Companies Practice Section (PCPS) and Peer Review Division for CPA Firms of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. As a member of this Division, we periodically undergo peer reviews of our system of quality control for our accounting and audit practice. The firm’s peer reviews have resulted in unmodified reports without letters or comments.

Recently the firm’s registration application with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the Board) (PCAOB) was approved. This provides our firm the opportunity to continue auditing registered broker-dealers who have agreements with the Financial Industry Regulation Authority (FINRA) and who are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Manning & Associates CPAs, LLC is registered as a CPA firm to do business in the States of Kentucky, Ohio, Georgia, South Carolina, Montana, Michigan, and Florida. Since 1980, Manning & Associates CPAs, LLC has stood for commitment to quality, personal service and something extra.
