What btandco pa does

BT&Co., P.A. was a privately held, Kansas-based professional accounting firm that delivered tax, audit and assurance, bookkeeping, business advisory, wealth management, payroll, QuickBooks support, and data analytics services to individuals, private/family-owned businesses, government agencies, and not-for-profit entities. The firm fielded 14 Partners, 5 Principals, more than 35 CPAs, one CFP, and over 40 additional accountants and support staff, with specialized expertise spanning advanced business advisory, M&A support, CAS, and financial planning. Its technology stack was anchored in QuickBooks (with a team of Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors) and data analytics tools delivered to clients as a "Big Data" advisory line.

The firm operated seven physical offices across Kansas — McPherson (headquarters and largest in the county), Hutchinson, Manhattan, Salina, Topeka (added through the SJHL merger on January 1, 2026), and Wichita (acquired from CBIZ MHM in 2016) — plus Rio Rancho, New Mexico (announced November 2024), giving it dominant regional presence in McPherson County and large footholds in Reno and Sedgwick Counties. Its go-to-market was a traditional relationship-driven professional-services motion relying on referrals, direct client relationships, content marketing via the SJHL News blog, and community involvement, with quote-based custom pricing and multi-year engagements.

Revenue was generated from professional services fees, with no public revenue disclosure available. Founded in 1936 and recognized as one of Accounting Today's Best Firms to Work For in 2019, 2020, and 2024, BT&Co. ceased to operate as an independent entity when it merged into Swindoll, Janzen, Hawk & Loyd, LLC (SJHL) on January 1, 2026.

Direct peers

• Swindoll, Janzen, Hawk & Loyd (SJHL): BT&Co.'s merger partner as of January 1, 2026 — same service mix (tax, audit, advisory, CAS, wealth management, QuickBooks support), overlapping Kansas geography, and identical customer segments (individuals, private businesses, government, nonprofits). Effectively the surviving combined entity.
• CBIZ (now CBIZ, Inc.): National accounting and professional services firm that previously merged with BT&Co. (Wichita office acquired in 2016). Provides tax, audit, advisory, and wealth management to mid-market clients across the U.S., with direct overlap in service lines and customer profile.
• Forvis (formerly BKD CPAs & Advisors): Top-10 U.S. accounting firm formed via BKD–DHG merger, serving mid-market businesses, healthcare, government, and nonprofits with tax, audit, and advisory services. Closely comparable in customer segments and regional mid-market focus to BT&Co./SJHL.
• CliftonLarsonAllen (CLA): Large U.S. accounting and professional services firm focused on mid-market private businesses, government, healthcare, and nonprofit clients. Directly comparable service portfolio and client base to BT&Co./SJHL, with broader geographic reach.
• Wipfli LLP: Top-20 U.S. accounting and advisory firm serving middle-market private businesses, nonprofit, and government clients with tax, audit, advisory, and technology services. Comparable size, segment focus, and service mix to BT&Co./SJHL.
