Bauknight, Kenneth H

In 1991, several former “Big Four” CPAs decided to establish their own firm in Columbia, South Carolina, focused on providing business, financial, and tax solutions to owner-managed companies and wealthy individuals seeking an experienced, innovative, and independent firm immersed in national, state and local business issues.

Today that better idea, Bauknight Pietras & Stormer—BPS— is among the Southeast’s premier accounting and consulting firms. Our shareholders have a combined 200 years of public accounting and IRS experience. Our team includes more than 70 professionals and staff, each of whom is committed to our clients and engaged in our community.

BPS serves as the preferred strategic partner of privately held businesses and wealthy individuals, providing tax, accounting and assurance, and business consulting services. Leadership, depth of technical skills, and a full range of short- and long-term, industry-focused solutions give BPS a competitive advantage and longevity with our clients.

It’s an approach that works. We attract professionals and staff who are bright and motivated. We attribute our success to meeting the unique needs of each client with professionalism, enthusiasm and high value.
