Since 1960: Sacramento CPA Firm Serving California & the U.S.

Our 1960 Origin Story

In 1960, a young CPA named Grant Bennett set out to build a different kind of firm—one guided by two core principles: be active in your community and be active in your profession. He launched the practice at age 29. Based on that founding year if he were with us today in 2025, he would be 94 years old.

From that single-office beginning, Grant Bennett Associates has grown into a trusted Sacramento CPA firm with 65+ years of continuous service, advising clients across California and nationwide.
