About Chipman's Accounting

Helping Four Corners families and businesses for over three decades, with the same personal standard we started with.

Chipman's Accounting has worked to help businesses in the Four Corners grow and succeed for over thirty years. In 2013, founder Ken Chipman sold the firm to Geren Tea, a former employee and local resident. Geren and his staff have carried that standard forward ever since.

We've become one of the largest accounting firms in the Four Corners through year-round dedication and the strong recommendations of the clients we serve. We offer customized services, deep industry knowledge, and varied resources. What sets us apart is how we work, with genuine interest in every client.

Geren is an Enrolled Agent, a federally authorized tax practitioner listed in the IRS directory. Enrolled Agents hold unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS, so if a return we prepared is ever questioned, you have someone who can speak for you directly rather than referring you elsewhere.
