Who We Are

In 1983, Keith Dooley formed a CPA firm in downtown Columbia, South Carolina. From the start, the focus was to let the clients’ needs guide the firm’s growth. That soon proved to be a winning strategy. The firm prospered and grew, with an evolving client base that relied on the trusted advice they received.

In 1999, the firm took a big step forward and expanded their practice to offer financial services in addition to the accounting services it was known for. Both service offerings thrived. The financial services portion of the practice is known as Carolina Wealth Management, LLC. In 2004, Rod Dooley joined the management team.
