Background
Ottinger & Associates, LLC was formed in 1998 by Catherine E. Ottinger, CPA. She wanted to take her five years experience with a national accounting firm and combine them with her six years at a large local firm, in which she was a partner. It was always her desire to start a different type of practice. “... I decided to start my practice by blending the best of both experiences. This allows us to genuinely care about our clients and feel that we are a part of their ‘Team.’ By doing this, we provide complete and thorough work not only satisfactory to our clients but to us as well.”
What Else Should I Know?
Ottinger & Associates is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the State Societies of Certified Public Accountants. The firm is registered to practice in the States of Ohio, Indiana, Colorado and Connecticut. Also, Ottinger & Associates is a member of the Ohio Association of Nonprofit Organizations. These memberships allow for notification of changes in the profession.
