First Place
Albright & Associates, Ltd.
Albright & Associates was started in 1976 by Deane Albright after he worked the prior five years for Grant Thornton, a large national accounting firm. Albright & Associates now consists of 18 people: three partners (Deane Albright, Travis Clark and Eric Kronawetter) and 15 professional staff specializing in all areas of accounting, certified audits, individual, corporate, partnership, estate and trust taxation, qualified retirement plans, and financial and tax planning. We are one of the largest and oldest local (non-national) CPA firms in the Reno-Sparks area. The firm recently celebrated 45 years in business by hosting their 45th “birthday party” for over 150 of their clients at their corporate offices located at 1025 Ridgeview Drive in Reno. Founding partner Deane Albright commented that, like the city slogan of Reno, “The Biggest Little City in the World,” Albright & Associates could be described as, “The Biggest Little accounting firm in Reno,” in that we are a local “boutique” CPA firm with the expertise and staff large enough to handle almost any complex accounting, tax or financial issue. However, we’re also small enough to be able to provide our clients with the personal attention sometimes missing in larger national CPA firms. Throughout this 45-year period, Albright & Associates has acquired a diversified array of clients. Working with these clients has providednthe firm with a unique insight into the operation of various business enterprises and the entrepreneurs who have been critical to Reno’s success and growth. The firm looks forward to an additional 45 years.
