Purpose Driven
We are Visionaries and Trailblazers
Our approach is anything but ordinary.
As visionaries, we see the world as a system and are attracted to the things that will enable us to change, transform, and heal it. We promise to bring a sense of transformation to everything we do, always evolving and moving with new visions and practices.
As trailblazers, we always see an open road and are attracted to experiences that make us and our clients feel independent and free. We promise to ask questions, push the envelope, and transcend boundaries.
Do you have a pioneering project? We’ll help you with it.
A Note from Ray Strothman,
Founder & President Chairman
When I founded Strothman+Co in February 1983, I felt there was a real need in our local business community for a firm like ours. A firm with an entrepreneurial spirit that could partner with local business owners to help ignite growth. A firm that goes beyond routine work to truly help its clients go further.
In the forty years since then, a lot has changed, but equally, some things have remained the same. It’s always been our philosophy to develop meaningful partnerships with our clients by doing great work that helps them grow their businesses.
Our growth is rooted in our firm culture and our focus on bringing the right people and clients to our firm. Over the years, we’ve been very fortunate to work with people who have great talent, skills, and standing in our community. So many of our team members, from our administrative staff to our partners, are true experts in their field, and do things better than I ever could.
At Strothman+Co, we do what we do because we love it. We develop our people and always aim to make a real difference for our clients. We give back to our community, not only with our time and talent, but with our treasure through our award-winning philanthropic efforts.
Growth is in our DNA. It drives everything we do, for our firm, our people, our clients, and our communities. Growth allows us to provide more opportunities for talented people. Today, we have over 80 professionals and serve thousands of clients in Kentucky, Indiana, and beyond.
Nothing gives us greater satisfaction than seeing our clients succeed. Our goal isn’t to help companies survive tax season; it’s to help them thrive and grow over the years and decades to come.
Today, we have an excellent team of proven leaders working hard to build a better future for our firm and our clients. Since Day 1, continuous improvement has been a key focus for us. Today, I’m more excited than ever for what the future holds, and I hope you’ll be a part of it.
Seek, adventure, wonder: we encourage you to advance your mission into the world. We will be your bedrock, providing a foundation of world class accounting and advisory services that make all of your biggest plans possible.
Our Values
We are principled people, and know that our greatest performance stems from living out what we claim to be.
Achieve the extraordinary
Ambition. Determination. Integrity. Commitment to excellence, and to making our clients the hero: because their wins are our wins, and ours, theirs. This is what the extraordinary looks like. And when we achieve it in ourselves, we achieve it for our clients.
Engage fearlessly
Connect. Collaborate. Engage. Listen – and speak up, advocating with passion, truthfulness, and transparency. Embracing and harnessing our individual uniquenesses adds up to one big success story that we are writing together.
Think big… ask why and why not
Open minds let the light in, and curiosity makes a great window. We love to wonder and learn: after all, passion and inspiration drive innovation. As individuals and a team, we support the passion to find out why, and go further.
Make a difference
One spark can light a fire that warms more souls than we know. Actively caring for our teammates and their families, our clients, and our community helps us, too. It’s not just the right thing to do: it’s the best thing.
Create and spread joy
Perspective is everything, and an appreciative outlook makes our success all the richer. We collectively revel in our work and take time to cultivate and share the things that grow joy.
