MORE THAN 90 YEARS IN CENTRAL VIRGINIA
OUR HISTORY
Our founder R. G. Hantzmon began working for an accounting firm in Washington, DC. in the early 1920s. The firm assigned Hantzmon to its Charlottesville office in 1928, which eventually became known as T. Coleman Andrews & Co.
In 1936, Hantzmon took over the office as a sole proprietor, and the firm became known as R. G. Hantzmon, Certified Public Accountant. The firm hired Reuel A. Wiebel, Jr. as a staff accountant in 1941, and in 1951, Hantzmon, Wiebel and Clifford L. Beakes formed a partnership. In 1956, Beakes withdrew from the partnership, and Hantzmon, his son R. Van E. Hantzmon, and Wiebel formed a new partnership. The name then changed to Hantzmon, Wiebel & Company.
In December of 1962, the firm moved from the Valley View Building on what is now the Downtown Mall to 818 East Jefferson Street. R. G. Hantzmon retired in 1965, and Wiebel retired in 1982. Our current group of partners joined the firm beginning in the late 1960s, and the firm changed its name to Hantzmon Wiebel LLP in 2004. We moved to our current location at 701 E Water St, Ste 300 in November of 2021.
From our founding partners to our present-day leadership team, our firm has always adapted and changed to meet the needs of the marketplace and address our clients’ challenges. We have enjoyed steady growth over the years, and Hantzmon Wiebel is now recognized as one of the largest CPA firms in Central Virginia.
