About J.A. Stauffer, CPA, PC


Our firm was founded in 1984 when Julia Stauffer, wanted to go out on her own and open an accounting firm to provide financial guidance for individuals and small & medium business owners in her community. To this day it remains vital for us that even as we grow we never forget or forgo delivering personal attention to each and every client. It is our objective to work with our clients to assist them with organization, tax planning, accounting and management systems and financing, in addition to the traditional tax and accounting services performed by CPA's.

Our approach is unique: We believe money is just a figment of the imagination. It is only worth what you are willing to invest of your integrity, respect and passion. The approach is not to diminish the usefulness of money as a tool but to enhance your fulfillment of life.

Our team has been well-trained to make certain you are always prepared and cared for to the best of our ability. All CPAs on our professional staff have membership in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and are subject to their standards and professional pronouncements. We are also members of the Indiana CPA Society, Rotary, Noon Kiwanis, and the Goshen Chamber of Commerce. Our team is not only passionate but has decades worth of experience and knowledge. We continually go above and beyond for all of our clients.
