About Us

Strothman + Company was founded in 1983. In late 2023, the firm announced that it had reached an agreement to join LBMC, a nationally renowned business consulting and financial services firm based in Nashville, Tennessee. During the merger discussions, both firms realized that certain clients of Strothman + Company may not need the extensive resources LBMC offers. Because of this, selected clients of the firm were invited to continue being served as clients of Innovative Tax Advisors (“ITA”). Owned by the existing partners of Strothman + Company, ITA focuses primarily on the income tax planning and preparation needs for individuals, and smaller LLCs and S corporations.

The mission of ITA is to revolutionize the tax experience by delivering cutting-edge planning, preparation, and filing services. With a team of top-tier experts and trailblazing technology, we redefine client satisfaction, setting a new standard in excellence.
