History

We are proud of the reputation our firm has developed over the last 80 years, delivering quality with timely service.

McGuire, Yuhas, Huffman, & Buckley (formerly Richardson, Karloski, & Pinkley) began in public accounting in 1929. Since then, the roles of accountants and consultants have grown in importance every year. In 1999, our name changed to McGuire, Yuhas, Huffman, & Buckley, but the quality and timely service remains unchanged. Nearly every personal or business endeavor today requires an exact assessment of people, material, and money to succeed.
