Financial Collaboration Leads to Great Things for YOU

As a registered investment advisory firm or RIA, McKinley Carter does not provide accounting services. However, as fiduciaries, we continually monitor both state and federal tax laws and revisions. We are fortunate to have several experienced Certified Public Accountants (or CPAs) on staff, as well as benefit from the work of an internal, seven-member Specialized Practice Group that is completely dedicated to Tax and Legacy issues. Moreover, we regularly confer and collaborate with outside professional tax experts who take a deep-dive into the nuances of each tax law and any potential impact on our clients. We understand the importance of collaborating with accountants to ensure our clients know their options and get the most comprehensive tax advice and guidance.
