Managing Partner, Robert K. Parks grew up in Palmyra, and has worked at Parks & Company for over 30 years. “I have been a CPA since 1988, and really enjoy working with our clients on two of the most complicated areas of their financial lives, taxes and investments.”
After graduating from Drexel University in 1983, I was really interested in the many aspects of taxation. After working as an intern in the tax and insurance department at Main Hurdman (after later mergers the firm became KPMG) in Harrisburg, I started working with a small local firm in my hometown. We have now grown Parks & Company into a three partner firm that specializes in individual, corporate, partnership, non-profit, and estate taxation. We were even listed in the top 10 on the Central Pennsylvania Business Journal’s list of tax preparation firms in the area for 2015.
After I obtained my Certified Financial Planning credentials in 1998, I began to see a real need for a financial planning firm to assist our clients in 401(k), 403(b), and other retirement planning needs. I did not want to be just another financial brokerage house selling mutual funds on commission, so we stayed the course and have maintained our distinction as a fee-only financial planning firm. We have expanded our scope over the years to assist many clients that are not associated with our tax and accounting services.
Bob still lives in Palmyra with his lovely wife Janet. They also have two children, Alicia and Christopher.
