Oatney & Associates

The firm began as a sole proprietorship, owned and operated by Timothy E. Oatney in 1976. In 1986, Penny L. Wasem joined the firm as a staff accountant. Tim's approach was as a small, personal firm offering conscientious tax preparation and bookkeeping services. The client was and still is the first priority.

While majoring in accounting at Franklin University in Columbus, Ohio, Tim became registered as an Enrolled Agent to practice before the Internal Revenue Service. He received his Bachelor's degree from Franklin University in 1990. Tim earned Public Accountant status in 1983 and in 1988 received the designation of Certified Public Accountant.
