Firm Profile
At SEK CPAs & Advisors, we don't just provide accounting services – we create value and foster trust. What began 61 years ago as a small, three-partner firm in Maryland has grown into one of the premier CPA and advisory firms in the region. Rooted in core values like integrity, empowerment, and quality of life, we’re proud to be a proactive partner to our clients and an active supporter of our communities.
Thousands of clients across the region and beyond benefit from our comprehensive range of services, including accounting, audit, tax, business advisory, consulting, and pension services. While our firm has grown to include 29 members (partners) and 165+ professionals, we maintain a personalized level of service that sets us apart. This dedication to client connection has also led many professionals from national and international firms to call SEK home, giving you access to the experience and expertise needed to help your organization thrive.
We’re proud of our accolades, such as being named among the Best Places to Work in PA, Top 200 Public Accounting Firms, and receiving the Best of Accounting Award for Client Satisfaction. These honors reflect our commitment to exceptional client service. Our affiliations with prestigious organizations also help us offer cutting-edge solutions that deliver big firm results with a small firm feel.
In 2018, we introduced our updated logo featuring a compass. This symbol reflects our ongoing commitment to providing precise, reliable guidance to help clients navigate their business challenges and goals. For years to come, we want our compass to represent the direction and trust you can count on from SEK.
