Stokes & Company CPAs, PC

It’s that time of year again—college football season is kicking off, and our office rivalry is heating up! Whether you’re cheering for the Tigers, the Gamecocks, or any other team, one thing’s for sure: we take our football just as seriously as our accounting.

But no matter which team we root for, we’re always on the same team when it comes to serving our clients. Football may divide us, but our passion for top-notch service keeps us united!

We’re excited to meet the next generation of accounting professionals at our upcoming recruiting events! Join us at Clemson University on September 4 and University of South Carolina Upstate on September 5, both at 5:30pm. This is a great opportunity to explore what it’s like to work in the accounting field and learn more about the career paths we offer. We look forward to connecting with you and discussing how you can thrive in the world of accounting. See you there!
