Thames & Associates history dates to
1963 when Jack Thames established a one-person accounting office in Magee,
Mississippi. His son, Bill Thames, joined
the practice in 1974 after completing a bachelor's degree in accounting. In
1982, the Magee practice merged with a CPA practice in Jackson,
Mississippi, offering two locations to
serve their clients. Mr. Thames and his fellow partners built the firm
to include more than 25 employees. 1997 saw the Magee, Mississippi
office become Thames & Associates - a standalone full service firm.
Today, Thames
& Associates has a staff of 6, including three Certified Public
Accountants, serving a variety of clients including Medicaid/Medicare
long-term care facilities, out-patient rehabilitation facilities, ICF/MRs, private residential treatment facilities, physician
practices, along with both individual and small business tax/financial
