Our Story
Cantrell & Associates, PC was started in 1975 by L. Myron Cantrell, CPA in Smyrna, GA. Over the years Myron had associates that worked with him and for him. For the first 20 years, the firm concentrated in both tax and accounting work for a variety of different industries. Services provided included attest work for the City of Kennesaw and tax work for some of Cobb County’s biggest real estate developers and many other successful closely held businesses. Myron eventually settled the firm in Kennesaw, GA in the 1981 where he continues to operate in the community.
In October 1995, Dustin E. Cantrell, CPA, joined the firm after 5 years with Gross Collins & Cress PC. He brought in a new era, with audit work, tax planning and preparation, and eventually added wealth management services in 2000.
