Gehman Accounting

What Gehman Accounting does

Gehman Accounting, Inc. is a Pennsylvania-based professional accounting and business advisory firm founded around 1970 (completing its 52nd tax season as of 2026) and operating from three physical offices — a New Holland headquarters plus Mifflinburg and Lebanon satellite locations. The firm employs 11–50 staff and reports 4,100+ active clients served across 36 states, anchored by President Nathan J. Siegrist. The business is privately held and independently owned, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, or parent company.

The firm’s service portfolio spans the full SMB accounting stack: tax preparation and planning (individual and business), bookkeeping, payroll processing, sales tax registration and filing, QuickBooks setup/support/workshops, business startup assistance, entity selection, estate planning, and audit assistance. Differentiating capabilities include Intuit QuickBooks Pro Advisor certification, Enrolled Agent credentials providing unlimited IRS practice rights, and a BigCommerce Partner designation. Verticals served include Construction, Agriculture, Manufacturing, Retail, Service, Transportation, and Rentals — a positioning explicitly tuned to owner-operated and trade-based SMBs. GTM is sales-led and direct, supported by a content library (quarterly newsletter, QuickBooks tutorials, case studies, brochures), organic social (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), and a secure client file-exchange portal. Pricing is opaque and quote-based; the firm offers a no-cost initial consultation.

The business model is professional services fee-for-service, with revenue generated through recurring client engagements (bookkeeping, payroll, advisory) and seasonal tax-season volume. The faith-based, biblically-grounded service positioning is a recurring brand theme across messaging and testimonials, where 41-year client tenure is cited as proof of long-term relationship economics. Distribution is direct-to-client (no intermediaries), with multi-state reach delivered via remote service rather than distributed physical offices.
