Larry received his CPA certificate in 1972. He maintains permits to practice as a CPA in the states of Kansas and Missouri. Larry attended Wichita State University where he earned both his undergraduate and graduate degrees with an emphasis in accounting.

Larry is the founder of our firm. He has experience from the national accounting firm level to that of starting and growing our firm from a small one-man office to the multi-location firm we are today. He has professional experience in most areas of our profession but particularly likes tax planning and preparation, business consulting and auditing.

Larry believes that our primary duty to any client is to help them find solutions to their current problems and to take advantage of opportunities as they prevail themselves. He believes that we are able to do this through tax and business planning that can optimize profits during various economic climates and avoid tax pitfalls presented by our tax laws.

Larry grew up in Hillsboro, Kansas and worked in his parent's clothing store as a salesman. He believes that is how he developed his ability to communicate with most people.

Larry is currently involved in the operation and development of our practice in the Sunrise Beach, Missouri area. Because of this, Larry and his wife, Sherri (our office manager), maintain homes in both the Sunrise Beach, Missouri and Wichita, Kansas areas. They have four "kids" of the canine variety that accompany them wherever they go, including our offices. Byron, Trixie, Sprinter, and Vinnie believe it is their job to greet our clients and make certain that we don't forget to take a break from accounting every once-in-a-while.
