Our Story.
At Kinney & Associates, we believe in the value of relationships — not just numbers. We take the time to build lasting, trusted partnerships with our clients and work collaboratively with them to help them reach their goals and navigate the complexities of today’s regulatory and accounting world.
Our firm was founded by Laura Kinney in 1997. Laura, an Oxford native, is a certified public accountant who has also served as an instructor at the University of Mississippi’s Patterson School of Accountancy. Today she runs the firm with her son, Cliff Kinney, CPA, CVA. Together they have a thorough understanding of the local business and financial landscape because they’ve been working and living in it most of their lives.
