Partnership History |
|
WSSR began in the city of Chillicothe, Ohio in November of 1978 when its
founder, Jerry B. Whited, acquired the practice of Thomas Hughes, a retiring
public accountant. In July 1979 Donald R. Seigneur joined Jerry and formed the
partnership of Whited and Seigneur CPAs. Jerry and Don had attended college
together at Bowling Green State University.
Barry Rahe and John R. Sams joined the firm as staff accountants in December
1987 and July 1989 respectively. They both were promoted to partners in July
1996 and the firm name was changed to WSSR. John assumed responsibilities as
audit engagement partner for the firms expanded year round audit service
business, while Barry launched the firms payroll check writing business in
addition to duties as a tax partner.
Kathy Alderman and Nathan Baldwin joined the firm in August 1993 and October
1994 respectively. They became partners of the firm in January 2002. Both are
tax partners with Kathy developing specialization in accounting for retail
franchises, business valuation and estate taxation, while Nathan focuses on
corporate taxation and medical practice consulting.
Whited Seigneur Sams & Rahe CPAs, LLP has grown from a sole practice with
a staff of 4 in 1978 to its present 6 partners and a staff of more than 25.
Services which once only included the basic tax, financial, and audit have
expanded to include more specialized areas. These services include estate
planning, business valuations, payroll check writing, computer consulting,
audits of for-profit, governmental, and not-for-profit entities, and income tax
preparation, planning and consulting for all types and sizes of entities. The
firm continues to focus on timely and affordably serving the needs of
individuals and small business.
