ROCHE, HEAD & ASSOCIATES PUT TRUST AT FOREFRONT O ver the years, accounting firms have seen many different name changes with the loss of partners, last-name changes and new ownership. But when two firms came together in 2015, it merged one of the oldest firms in the county together with one of the youngest. Gustaf C. Lundin & Co., LLP was established in 1926; Karen S. Roche CPA, PLC was established in 1980 and in 2015, the two combined to create Roche, Head & Associates, PLLC. The merge brought all of the Gustaf C. Lundin + Co., LLP staff to the new location and the firm closed it’s doors though several in the office still hold onto the history with the name. Inside the firm clients will find plenty of crosses and angels looking down at them as they have help with their taxes or other financial needs as the firm believes in honoring God in everything they do. All employees have become more than just co-workers and have taken it farther than being a team and instead have become a family who calls Scotland County home though only a few come from the area. “I grew up in a big city and I much prefer it here,” said Carl Head. “Overall, it’s the quality of life and it’s much more personal to be in a smaller area.” The firm is one of the only full-service accounting firms in the county offering audits, tax help, financial counseling, payroll and more to its clients. Over the years Full-Service Accounting clients have stuck with the firm through the name changes and even after some clients have moved out of state and the reasoning is simple, trust. “I always end every letter I write with ‘your confidence and trust is serious business and we don’t take that lightly, it is a privilege to serve you,” Roche said. “The last thing I always say is ‘may God bless you and may his light shine upon you.’” Let us handle your tax and accounting needs with expertise, so you can get back to the things you enjoy.
