Our History
More Than Four Decades of Trusted Service
Founded in 1984 by H. George Shoffner, CPA, and Robert L. Lewis, CPA, Lewis, Shoffner & Co. was built on a simple principle: providing responsive, personalized accounting and tax services grounded in long-term client relationships.
From its earliest days, the firm’s focus was never simply on preparing tax returns or financial statements. George and Bob believed that clients deserved a trusted advisor who understood their unique circumstances, answered questions promptly, and helped them make informed financial decisions. That philosophy helped establish the foundation for a practice that has served individuals, families, businesses, trusts, estates, and nonprofit organizations throughout the Greater Philadelphia region for more than forty years.
Throughout the firm’s history, growth has come largely through referrals and longstanding relationships. Many clients have remained with the firm for decades, reflecting the trust and confidence placed in the personalized service that has become a hallmark of the practice. During a period marked by significant changes in tax law, technology, and the business environment, the firm’s commitment to professionalism, integrity, and individualized attention has remained constant.
As the profession evolved, Lewis, Shoffner & Co. adapted while maintaining the personal approach that clients value. From handwritten ledgers and paper returns to today’s digital systems and electronic filing platforms, the firm has embraced new tools and changing regulations while preserving the direct client relationships that have defined its reputation.
In 2026, the firm entered its next chapter as part of a carefully planned succession strategy. Ian Kauffman, CPA, joined the firm to continue its tradition of client service and ensure continuity for future generations. While new leadership brings fresh perspectives and expanded capabilities, the firm’s core values remain unchanged. George Shoffner continues to be actively involved as a trusted advisor and resource, helping preserve the experience, institutional knowledge, and client-first approach that have guided the firm since its founding.
Today, Lewis, Shoffner & Co. continues to serve clients from its King of Prussia office with the same mission that inspired its founders in 1984: delivering thoughtful advice, dependable service, and long-term professional relationships built on trust.
