The firm was formed in 1984 by Harvey K. Faulkner and Joseph C. King. Prior to 1984, this office was a satellite office of Potter & Company, a regional accounting firm based in Lexington, Kentucky. The Mt. Sterling office opened in the 1960s and continued in business there until its conversion into Faulkner & King in 1984. Today the firm, known as Faulkner, King, and Wenz, PSC has a professional staff of 12 degreed accountants, including eight CPAs.

Our firm is a member of the Kentucky Society of CPAs and the American Institute of CPAs, including the AICPA’s Audit Quality Centers for Employee Benefit Plans and Governmental Audits. Requirements of such membership include an average of more than 40 hours of continuing professional education per year for each professional employee, along with a “peer review” by an independent outside firm every three years.
