About Dean Dorton Allen Ford

Dean Dorton Allen Ford was created in 2011 by the combination of two of Kentucky’s premier accounting firms – Dean Dorton Ford and Cotton + Allen.  These legacy firms have provided us a culture that will continue at Dean Dorton Allen Ford.  This culture includes providing exceptional client service and the ability to be innovative problem solvers.  As Dean Dorton Allen Ford we will continue to pride ourselves on being large enough to provide expert services while still maintaining the core values developed by our legacy firms, which include personal and timely delivery of services.

Our philosophy centers on an unyielding commitment to provide services that exceed our clients’ expectations and are consistently superior to our competitors in quality and timeliness.  Further, we strive to do so in a setting that is satisfying professionally and personally for firm employees.

Our goal in every client relationship is to help our clients reach their objectives.  To do so, we know we must listen to our clients and develop a solid understanding of their needs.  Our ability to listen to our clients and then bring the expertise needed – whether the need is an audit opinion, a tax return, or a consulting engagement – has allowed us to build long-term client relationships. 

In short, we believe that giving unparalleled personal attention to our clients is just as important as providing accurate, timely services that meet their needs.  This philosophy of balancing interpersonal skills with accounting and consulting expertise remains at the core of our firm.
