Smoak, Davis & Nixon LLP
About Us
History of our Jacksonville CPA Firm
We hear these kinds of comments more than you might think. Our Firm has been serving the Jacksonville market since 1924. We are proud of our heritage and we have found that is a distinguishing mark for us.
We were founded in 1924 by Paul R. Smoak. Mr. Smoak practiced as an individual until August 1, 1944, when he brought along Jewell A. Davis as partner and they formed Smoak & Davis. After World War II, Francis C. Nixon joined the Firm and the practice became known as Smoak, Davis & Nixon. Our current partners have maintained the names of our Founders, and in 1996, the Firm registered as a limited liability partnership. Today, we are known as Smoak, Davis & Nixon LLP.
“Your Firm worked with my father’s tractor business back in the 1950’s.”
“I remember when the 2nd floor was added to your former building in San Marco. Wasn’t it originally built in the 1970s?”
Firm Philosophy
Smoak, Davis & Nixon LLP was founded at a time when public accounting was still emerging as a profession. Through vision, foresight, and dedication, our Founders launched the practice with a philosophy of integrity and client service excellence. Today, our partners and staff continue to reaffirm that philosophy by focusing on our top priorities: providing excellent client service, maintaining the highest professional and ethical standards, and expanding our knowledge base through continuing professional education.
Our clients know that they can rely on us to provide quality financial services. Our culture of teamwork, our focus on client needs and practical solutions, and our drive to be the premier provider of financial services are all key factors contributing to the Firm’s established success within our community.
To further enhance our commitment to excellent client service, our Firm is a member of Allinial Global, an association of international and domestic accounting and consulting firms. This membership provides additional resources, allowing us the ability to share expertise, resources, and advice with other practices in a variety of industries. Allinial Global’s commitment to provide client centric service is consistent with our Firm philosophy and we are proud to be a part of this association.
