We're a Firm with a Unique Personality

We are a reflection of our history. Our firm was founded in 1976 by Brion R. Smoker, who was then joined in 1986 by the late Kevin L. Smith.

Brion and Kevin built a firm focused on providing clients with a higher level of commitment, strong relationships, and quality service.

That drive and energy has continued and allowed us to serve clients for over 40 years. Today, we are a full service accounting firm providing cost effective services to businesses and individual clients not only in Central Pennsylvania, but across all borders.

Smoker Smith and Associates, P.C. is a proud member of the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA), American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), and INPACT Americas. Our professionals are active and contributing members of various local and regional professional and communication organizations.

Our heritage has helped us grow into a highly respected firm, one that provides a full range of integrated services. Our heritage continues to guide and sustain us as we work every day to embody our promise of “A Higher Level of Commitment.”

John Peters, President - ACCUWRITE Forms & Systems Inc.

Jori and the Smoker Smith team have been a very valued partner of ACCUWRITE Print + Promo for over 30 years. Jori's expertise on taxes and planning have been invaluable to us for decades. Her recommendations have been spot on and I would personally recommend her and SSA to anyone, large or small. If Jori says she can handle a client and their needs - she can. And beyond her expertise and advise, her availability and personal service is absolutely the best!

David L. Morgan, DDS, Owner– Dental Associates of Hershey

As our practice has evolved and grown, the expertise of Smoker, Smith and particularly Jori Culp and Brion Smoker has been invaluable. My questions are always addressed promptly and anything I need to change is brought to my attention rather than me needing to inquire about it. Personalized service with top notch expertise.

Norman Twain - Norman Twain Productions

I first met Smoker, Smith and Associates, specifically Jori Culp and Dave Reinhart, as a recommendation for somebody in Pennsylvania to do a state incentives certification on a film I was doing. They couldn't have been more precise or more efficient in the work they did for my company, and since that time, not only have we become friends, but have had an excellent working relationship with regard to all of my production companies, tax needs and on various LLCs. We have also been extremely happy in my wife's and my own personal income taxes as well. Additionally, they now represent my daughter and son-in-law as their tax representative. What could be more of a recommendation than entrusting ones daughter to them!

Weekly Tax Brief

Adopting a child? Bring home tax savings with your bundle of joy

If you’re adopting a child, or you adopted one this year, there may be significant tax benefits available to offset the expenses. For 2019, adoptive parents may be able to claim a nonrefundable credit against their federal tax for up to $14,080 of “qualified adoption expenses” for each adopted child. (This amount is increasing to $14,300 for 2020.) The credit allowable for 2019 is phased out for taxpayers with adjusted gross income (AGI) of $211,160 ($214,520 for 2020). It is eliminated when AGI reaches $251,160 for 2019 ($254,520 for 2020). We can help ensure that you meet all the requirements to get the full benefit of the tax savings available to adoptive parents.
