The firm began as a sole proprietorship, owned and operated by Timothy E. Oatney in 1976. In 1986, Penny L. Wasem joined the firm as a staff accountant. Tim's approach was as a small, personal firm offering conscientious tax preparation and bookkeeping services. The client was and still is the first priority.
While majoring in accounting at Franklin University in Columbus, Ohio, Tim became registered as an Enrolled Agent to practice before the Internal Revenue Service. He received his Bachelor's degree from Franklin University in 1990. Tim earned Public Accountant status in 1983 and in 1988 received the designation of Certified Public Accountant.

I was billed $500 for a review of my 2018 tax preparation. I did ask for an estimate and expected a charge of about $400. What I did not expect was to be billed $200/hour for the approximately 1/2 hour that Tim talked about his personal accomplishments. Was considering a change of accountants but concluded that if I could not trust him to perform a simple billing like this that there could be no future trust. Personally, if I meet with a client and we go off on a tangent, I make an adjustment. However I usually do not bill a potential client anyhow.
