Smith, Dukes & Buckalew, LLP (“SD&B”)
Smith, Dukes & Buckalew, LLP ("SD&B") traces its beginnings to the early 1900s and the firm of Rosson & Smith. When Alabama passed its first Certified Public Accountancy (CPA) law in 1919, Mr. George T. Rosson was awarded Certificate No. 1 and Mr. Walter K. Smith was awarded Certificate No. 3. Out of Rosson & Smith came the partnership Smith, Dukes & Buckalew - formed on October 31, 1933 by Walter K. Smith, Fred L. Smith, Gilbert F. Dukes and Vardaman M. Buckalew.
Over the years, SD&B has been significant in the development of public accountancy in the city of Mobile and the state of Alabama. Eight of its members have served as president of the Alabama Society of CPAs and have seen the field of accounting progress from the "green eye-shade" years to the high-tech systems of today's business world.
SD&B has been recognized by the Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce as a Golden Chamber member, a distinction for having been a member for over 75 years. SD&B is strong in its commitment to and the development of the business community of Mobile. The firm has seen many of its clients grow from very small beginnings to the leading businesses in Mobile. In addition to a strong client base in Mobile, SD&B serves clients throughout Alabama and in other states.
Today, SD&B celebrates over 75 years in continuous operation and excellence in the field of accounting. Every partner is equally committed to serving clients and community, helping them grow and succeed the way SD&B has done since 1933.
