W. Rex Woods (withdrew 1979) and James L Durham (retired 1988), formed our Firm, as a partnership in Salina, Kansas, in December 1964. The company continued to grow through an expansion of services and eventually opened offices in Beloit, Kansas (1965), Clay Center, Kansas (1969), and Holdrege, Nebraska (1979).

During 1969 three partners, Charles B. Reid (retired 1997), W. Jerome Heidrick (retired 1998), and Larry W. McCoach (retired 2001), were admitted, and J. Mark Woodruff became a partner in 1974. In 1983, the partnership was incorporated and three additional principals were admitted: David Rosenthal, Douglas Edwards, and James Trower.

Early in 1986, the Firm acquired the Holdrege practice of Larsen, Schroeder & Associates, merging that practice into the Holdrege client base, and in December 2000, we successfully merged into our Firm the practice of Waldo Rost in Holdrege. In the same year, Jeffrey L. Wheeler became a principal. As of January 1, 2004, Ms. Bonnie S. Sanderson, CPA, became a shareholder in the Firm. She works out of the Salina office.

The Company currently operates four offices, three in Kansas, and one in Nebraska. Our home office in Salina is our data processing center and is the administrative office. Our satellite offices have resident principals, staff accountants, and clerical assistance as necessary.
