About Us
Background
Since its founding in 1982, Henningfield & Associates has achieved an enviable reputation by providing a level of service based upon the highest quality and responsiveness to clients' needs.
We strive to provide the level of high quality service one would expect from a large national firm, with a personal custom-tailored approach to servicing the operational needs of our clients. Our practice continues to thrive because we recognize that each client is our most valuable asset, maintaining the warm and personal "small firm" atmosphere.
Public accounting, as well as many other aspects of our present society, has changed dramatically in the last decade. A good accountant must now be many things to his or her clientele – a management advisor, a business consultant, a financial planner and an investment counselor – in addition to providing the traditional audit, accounting and tax services.
Our Mission
The professionals at Henningfield & Associates believe in providing each and every one of these services in order to fulfill the ever-changing needs of businesses and private individuals. Their trained staff of professionals provides just the right combination of financial services and accounting skills.
Using modern computer technology and the latest accounting techniques which their continuing education policy assures, they fill an ever-widening range of client needs. Whether you own a large or small business or simply need some personal financial planning, Henningfield & Associates is the accounting firm to see. They will put their years of experience and training to work for you.
