Firm Profile
Everyone has a story to tell. Ours is about a group of entrepreneurial-minded CPAs who, over the past 60 years, grew a small three-partner firm in Maryland into one of the premier CPA and advisory firms in the region. Built on a foundation of core values like integrity, innovation, and mutual respect, we work to be proactive to our clients' needs and active in our communities, all while fostering continued growth.
As a full-service firm, thousands of clients across the region (and the country) benefit from our accounting, audit, tax, business advisory, consulting, and pension services.
Currently, our firm has 29 Members (partners) and 165+ professionals. And while we continue to grow, you will experience a personalized level of service that isn't seen in most firms of our size. The dedication to client connection and communication has also led many former employees of national and international firms to call SEK home - giving you access to talents and expertise that will help drive your organization forward. We deliver big firm results with a small firm feel.
In November 2018, we launched our brand-new logo featuring a compass. Since our founding, the guidance we offer continues to be precise, just like its sharp points. For years to come, we want our compass to represent our commitment to providing guidance you can count on.
Raise your expectations of an accounting firm and see for yourself how we can provide solutions for all of your business and organizational goals.
