Finley & Cook LLC, operating as F&C CPAs, is a privately held Professional Limited Liability Company headquartered in Shawnee, Oklahoma, founded in 1947. The firm provides audit and assurance, tax preparation and planning, bookkeeping, business consulting, and advisory services, with two operating divisions: Public & Corporate Services (tax, audit, business services, enterprise technology, advisory) and Tribal & Gaming Services (tribal tax, compliance, business services, tribal enterprise technology, and advisory). The firm is differentiated by deep specialization in tribal gaming and government accounting, including MICS compliance, Title 31 reporting, casino machine accounting, and grant accounting, serving over 100 Tribes and a portfolio of oil & gas, financial institution, healthcare, nonprofit, and small business clients on a nationwide basis.

The firm employs 200+ professionals led by five partners (Tim Barnes, Chance Allison, Dan Bledsoe, Jonathan Gauss, and Scott Huebert) and maintains two offices in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Revenue is generated primarily through fee-based professional services engagements, with pricing not publicly disclosed in line with typical CPA firm quote-based engagements; the firm has also begun productizing select expertise via the 2025 Casino Regulatory Guidebook, sold at $39.99 per unit. The go-to-market is relationship-driven and partner-led, leveraging active membership and speaking presence at OIGA, NIGA, WIGC, NTGCR, OTGRA, NAFOA, AICPA, and OSCPA, alongside university recruiting at OSU and OBU. There is no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capability, no app, and no API surface.

The firm has operated continuously for 77+ years with no acquisitions, no external investors, no funding rounds, and no parent company. Ownership is held by the five partners under a PLLC structure. The firm holds a current AICPA peer review pass rating (2025), a BBB A+ rating, and was named an Oklahoma Bankers Association Endorsed Vendor in 2026. Historical growth has been tied to oil-and-gas cycles and the expansion of tribal gaming enterprises, with the firm currently positioning itself as one of the most association-embedded CPA practices in the tribal gaming compliance niche.
