Throughout the years, we have considered Brown Plus our business partner. They understand our business, and we utilize them in more ways than the normal day-to-day accounting and tax work.
“It was my father who made the ultimate decision over 30 years ago to make the switch to what is known today as Brown Plus. Throughout the years, we have considered Brown Plus our business partner. They understand our business, and we utilize them in more ways than the normal day-to-day accounting and tax work.
Brown Plus has helped us with executive searches, including placement of our CFO and advice on our banking relationships, in addition to annual estate planning consultation. As part of our business’ estate planning, they worked with us on a succession plan to transition partial ownership to my son, Timothy Mitchell.
Today, Kenworth is a 180 employee, third generation, family-owned company with seven locations. We value the partnership we have built with Brown Plus throughout the growth and transition of our company. Looking ahead, the relationship will continue to be excellent with the next generation.”

“I think one of the unique things about Brown Plus is the fact that their senior people have such deep experience. Generally, you only find that kind of experience with the very, very large firms. But they’re small enough we can work with them. They’re personable.”

Rohrer Bus
David W. Thomas
Brown Plus is a diverse, well-rounded CPA firm. They are true professionals and provide personal contact to our decisions makers and internal accounting department.
“In the late 1990s, Rohrer Bus had grown to a level that required a larger accounting firm. The owners not only switched to Brown Plus, but they also hired me as the new controller. We were both brand new to Rohrer Bus.
The financial statements and reporting requirements for Rohrer Bus are complicated since we are comprised of four entities, have sales in multiple states, operate at three locations and have 150 full-time employees and over 600 part-time employees. Brown Plus is an excellent CPA firm – not just for the work they do for our annual audit, but for the accounting interpretations, financial statements and corporate tax work they provide (including filing in multiple states). The Tax Department at Brown Plus has been a great help to me and Rohrer Bus; whenever I call with any type of tax issue, they are always there. Additionally, Brown Plus has helped Rohrer Bus with corporation acquisitions and business valuations.
Brown Plus is a diverse, well-rounded CPA firm. They are true professionals and provide personal contact to our decisions makers and internal accounting department.”

Goodville Mutual Casualty Company
Phil Shirk
As Goodville Mutual has grown over the years, our relationship with Brown Plus has strengthened, and it’s a firm that we can work with at a close, personal level…
When I started at Goodville in 2002 as their CFO, I was new to the insurance accounting industry. While I had about 15 years of prior accounting experience with GAAP accounting, when I transitioned to insurance accounting, the intricacies were different, and Brown Plus helped guide me through that learning curve.
The history Goodville has with Brown Plus goes back prior to my arrival at the company, and we have been with them ever since. I remember when I had first started, Scott Esworthy was a manager at the time and did a lot of the review work on-site. Although he was not the Principal on the job in the early days, I ended up developing a strong relationship with him through the review work he did for us, in addition to his involvement with the Pennsylvania Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (PAMIC). Scott later progressed to be the Principal on the job, and he worked closely with another Brown Plus Principal, Hank Straub.
As Goodville Mutual has grown over the years, our relationship with Brown Plus has strengthened, and it’s a firm that we can work with at a close, personal level, but also one that has the deep knowledge and resources you would expect from a larger firm. Our accounting department has a fantastic relationship not only with Scott and Hank, but also with the other staff and managers at Brown Plus. We certainly recommend this firm for their services and people.

Brown Plus is comprised of excellent people who are both knowledgeable and quick to respond. They are ‘so much more’ than just an accounting or tax preparation firm.

Their services have facilitated our firm’s prosperity since 1998, during both good and bad economic climates as experienced by our country.
Brown Plus has worked shoulder to shoulder with our firm as we navigated through business ownership transitions, real estate transactions, banking relationships, information technology changes, and everyday business decisions and transactions. Brown Plus, and more specifically Ted Herold, has serviced our firm with the care and foresight of a shareholder in helping to steer Gatter & Diehl to success.

Bortek Industries, Inc.
Jeffrey Boarman
As a multifaceted company, Brown Plus figured out Bortek’s complexities and grasped an understanding of our business very quickly. They ‘get it,’ and that makes my job easier.
The reputation Brown Plus has in the local marketplace encouraged us to switch accounting firms in 2012. Each person we work with at Brown Plus is a highly qualified, positive person. The technology they possess makes communication and exchanging data easier than it was in the past.
Since making the switch, accounting is no longer a painful process. Personal contact with the Brown Plus team has made our year-end a simple, seamless process—even though our company is anything but ‘simple.’ Bortek has 100 employees and eight locations, in addition to related entities and real estate. As a multifaceted company, Brown Plus figured out Bortek’s complexities and grasped an understanding of our business very quickly. They ‘get it,’ and that makes my job easier.
At Bortek, we hold high standards when building new relationships, and Brown Plus has met and exceeded our expectations.
