Harden, Cummins, Moss and Miller, L.L.C.,
Certified Public Accountants, was founded in the fall of 1947 by Ted J. Frick. Mr. Frick
came from Kansas City to begin the one-man operation called Ted J. Frick, C.P.A., in the
firm’s present location on the southeast corner of the square in the Citizens Bank
& Trust building, Chillicothe, Missouri.
When Frick opened his office, he hired William G. Cummins to manage another office in
Maryville, Missouri. Cummins was later admitted as a partner and the name was changed to
Ted J. Frick and Company.
In the early 1950’s, Kenneth E. Harden, a Kansas City CPA and attorney, purchased an
interest in the firm. During this time, Walter T. Miller and Bob R. Moss joined the firm
as employees and were admitted to the partnership after obtaining their CPA certificates.
In the mid-fifties, Frick left the firm. The name was subsequently changed to Harden,
Cummins, Moss and Miller, L.L.C.
The firm has grown in the fifty plus years
from a one-man office to seven members and twenty-four employees in the three offices
which are located in Chillicothe, Kirksville and Maryville, Missouri. The current members
are Thomas L. Ashbrook, Michael F. Turner, Ronald D. Schaper, W. Dennis Sidwell, Glenda L.
Noble (member of the Intuit Professional Advisor's Program), Judy J. Martin
and Daryl R. Weidner (November, 1985, Silver Medalist, CPA Exam in the State of Missouri;
winner of the national Elijah Watt Sells Award, American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants).
