OUR ROOTS
The company was founded by Joseph E. Robinson in 1959 shortly after serving in the Marines during the Korean War and working for a brief time for Amoco Oil Company. The company originally provided specialized record keeping systems, management style financial reports, consulting and tax services to independent gas station businesses in Southwestern Pennsylvania. The primary focus was always to maximize profits and minimize taxes.
In 1983 Debra Robinson joined her father and assisted in expanding the company’s offering to reach out to other industries. Today the company maintains the original vision in servicing and supporting all aspects of accounting, tax and management needs to small businesses and individuals. The company has an extensive list of business and individual clients throughout the region.
