Accounting firm celebrates 50 years in business

Back in 1962, Vern Peterson set out to provide world-class accounting services in Clark County. Half a century later, Peterson & Associates has served generations of clients and continues to grow. The firm will celebrate this accomplishment – alongside its clients and community partners – on Sept. 25 at Bethany Vineyards.

The firm contributes to scores of local organizations, including Clark College Foundation, Clark County Food Bank, Rotary and Free Clinic of SW Washington. P&A’s president, Patricia Eby, explained why:

“We are passionate about donating time, energy and financial support to organizations and charities here in Clark County and beyond. This is a priority for every team member at Peterson & Associates. It’s our privilege to help those in need,” she said.

In addition, a majority of the firm’s financial services clients are local businesses and entrepreneurs.

“We really know how to help small and local businesses because we’re small and local, too. We’ve walked in their shoes and we know their challenges,” said C.P.A. Scott Salsbery.
