Keith’s take-charge attitude coupled with his years of experience acting as a “sounding board” for businesses has helped clients work through many key business and planning issues. As an adviser, Keith sees more than just numbers and provides clients with real business insight.

Keith’s principal area of expertise is advising privately owned businesses, overseeing audits, reviews, tax planning and providing business consulting. His clients have a strong emphasis in service-related companies, manufacturing, insurance, broker/dealer, wholesale and distribution industries. In particular, Keith acts as an outside “CFO” for many of his clients. He saves them money by helping them with business issues concerning buy-sell agreements, life insurance analysis, IC-DISC implementations, retirement plan reviews, securing bank financing, and retirement plan analysis and restructuring to help owners maximize their contributions.

As market leader for the Ohio region, Keith focuses on expanding the firm’s brand, business and community relationships across Ohio. This includes supporting the go-to-market development of next generation leadership in the firm.
