Clark & Anderson, P.A., is a prominent, multi-service accounting firm located in northern Anne Arundel County, Maryland, and has been in business since 1965.  We serve the small and medium sized enterprises in the Baltimore, Annapolis and Washington metropolitan areas.  Our team of dedicated employees is what makes our firm stand out from others.

 Our roots extend back to 1965 when Jan W. Clark, CPA, organized his accounting practice as an individual practitioner.  He operated under this style until 1975 at which time a partnership was formed with Frances F. Anderson, CPA.

 The steady success and growth of the firm continued and in 1980 the firm was incorporated as a Maryland Professional Association.  In 1989, Wade H. Ritchie III, CPA, and Sharrie K. Wade, CPA, were admitted as stockholders of the firm, and today they own and manage the firm with a team approach.  Each client is assigned three team members: a partner, a senior level accounting team member and a client service specialist.
