History
Our firm was founded in 1955 by Howard Umberger. Today, Rick Groves heads the firm with a dedication to excellence that is unsurpassed. We have grown, increasing the area we serve to include Lebanon County and surrounding areas of Pennsylvania.

Serving small business owners
Our niche in the profession centers on providing services to the small business owner. Services such as accounting, tax preparation, tax planning services, and payroll services are the specialty of Richard W. Groves, P.C. Since compliance with today's complex and ever-changing tax and business regulatory laws is increasingly difficult, we assist our clients in understanding and applying these complex rules in their business and personal affairs.

Our extensive and practical experience, in both accounting and tax compliance, offers clients a twofold advantage. We help businesses successfully operate and expand, while minimizing their tax liability, and increasing their retained profits. In other words, we help our clients make money and keep it!

Committed to excellence
Above all, we place a premium on timeliness, thoroughness and accuracy. Our commitment to excellence is evidenced by the selection of our staff, continuing education programs, research resources and emphasis on quality control. To advance these efforts, we are participating in the Peer Review Program sponsored by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

State-of-the-art in knowledge and technology

Keeping up is not enough; we strive to stay ahead and lead. To ensure professional leadership, Richard W. Groves, P.C. maintains active membership in the American Institute of CPAs, the Pennsylvania Institute of CPAs, the Pennsylvania Society of Public Accountants, and the Lebanon County Chamber of Commerce.
