Welcome to Horizon Accountants

Horizon Accountants is a unique name that comes from the Greek word horizo, meaning to determine or define boundaries of a place, limits, and destiny. As trusted marketplace advisors we desire growing relationships with our clients. This depends on up-to-date information and appropriate counsel in discerning the time and season we are in. Our web site introduces you to some of our specialized areas of expertise.

Rockingham County and Harrisonburg Metropolitan Area

Why are some areas hot and others not? This is a key question during this time of marketplace transition throughout our national economy. Since September 11th economic systems adept at internet and global marketplace innovations seem to have moved forward at warp speed. With this transition there are winners and losers.

A recent article entitled, “2005 Mayors Challenge: America’s Top Business Opportunity Metro Areas” came out in Expansion Management Magazine. A periodical devoted to helping growing companies evaluate future locations. In this article Rockingham County- Harrisonburg City was 51 out of the 362 metro areas in this country. In fact, most of the top 50 metro areas are education based meaning “college towns.” A key component in the current marketplace transition is a sustaining educational community that provides innovation and capacity for service industries to flourish. Access to streams of labor is a must for manufacturing industries.

Besides that immense natural beauty of the mountains to our east and west, our area has low unemployment and tax rates. Quality of life, roads and education rank high in this recent study. The towns of Broadway and Timberville along with the northern Shenandoah Valley have long been known for their entrepreneurial people and ideas for enterprise. It’s commitment to education and strong work ethic provides a solid foundation. Working within this community has strengthened our business counsel and public accounting practice. Assisting our clients has provided us with the innovation necessary to maintain competence in the ever changing global marketplace.
