History
TH&W CPA's has been providing tax, accounting and auditing services to our clients for over five decades.
James E. Totherow, Sr. opened the firm May 1, 1963 by acquiring from his then employer a branch office of Ernst and Ernst, one of the largest national accounting firms. Totherow provided services to a variety of clients fin the McMinnville and the surrounding area including professional services organizations, banks, and rural telephone co-operatives, agriculture industry, medical service providers, hardwood manufacturing, as well as individuals. James D. Haile joined the firm November 1, 1965 as a partner, and on January 1, 1975 former employee James A Welch returned to the firm as partner.
Through retirement and staff development the firm has evolved through the years so that Gentry B. Underhill Jr, was added as a partner January 1, 1997 and continues to serve as the senior partner of the firm. Stephen B. Boyd joined him in 2003 and Kevin Sizemore was admitted as a partner in 2011.
In 2013 the firm opened an office in Murfreesboro, Tennessee to help our established and new clients in that locality.
Today, the firm continues to pride itself in leading the way to serve individuals and small to medium sized businesses. TH&W serves individuals, non-profit entities, nurserymen and farmers, manufacturing companies, construction contractors, telecommunication companies, and other small to medium sized businesses with the same pride in service and emphasis on relationships that the firm’s founding partner prioritized over 50 years ago.
