PKS and Company, P.A.

Certified Public Accountants

“When your financial health needs care, you turn to a financial specialist that you trust,” says Dan O’Connell, one of the six partners at PKS & Company, “just as someone turns to a trusted physician when they are concerned about their health.” With a dedicated staff of nearly 60, and a reputation spanning 30 years, the firm prides itself on its passion, adaptability and creativity.

“We’re a people business first and then an accounting firm,” John Stern, Jr., CPA and President explains. “Our goal is to create a close, personal relationship with every client and then offer them the dedicated service and custom solutions to meet their distinct needs and financial goals.”

PKS & Company consists of dedicated professionals with a broad range of industry experience and financial expertise to uniquely service everyone from privately owned companies and individuals to government agencies and nonprofit organizations. Those services include audit, tax and general accounting management, payroll services, business consulting, and financial planning for businesses and individuals alike, as well as retirement services, H.R. consulting, and estate planning.

“When your financial health needs care, you turn to a financial specialist that you trust.”

“Naturally,” says O’Connell, “at this moment in time, people are more worried than ever before about their financial situations. But we are a proactive company, not reactive. We have been in business long enough to have seen economic downturns before. We are able to steer our clients through whatever their current situation is to a more secure future.”

As part of that financial check-up, O’Connell says, “We certainly have helped clients adjust budgets as we have seen the economy turn downward. We search for money-saving opportunities and ways to serve their customers more efficiently.”

Like a doctor with Board-certified credentials, PKS & Company is affiliated with the Maryland Association of Certified Public Accountants, the Delaware Society of Certified Public Accountants, and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. If dedication to personal service and 30 years of commitment to the Delmarva community is not enough, perhaps PKS & Company's most impressive affiliation is their membership in the PKF North American Network, the largest association of independent CPA firms in North America. Through the PKF network, the firm has access to comprehensive accounting data, specialized technology, technical advances, and top-notch management programs from over 200 accounting firms in the United States and around the world. This is especially important for clients who do business in multiple states or in foreign countries. “Our association with the PKF global network allows us to offer our clients a wealth of resources not usually found in a local or regional firm of our size,” Stern says. “It greatly improves our capacity to deliver cost-effective solutions and superior results.”

O’Connell adds, “Today, more than ever, we take the trust our clients place in us as an honor. We’re working harder and smarter to ensure they feel prepared for any situation that our clients may encounter.”
