John F. Morrissey began his public accounting career in 1968. He founded John Morrissey Accountants, Inc, in 1972 in the basement of his home. At the time, John made a three month commitment to himself - if things didn't work out, he would give up his dream of owning his own accounting practice. Thirty six years later, John Morrissey Accountants has grown exponentially through new business and client relationships, accounting practice acquisitions and market share expansion. Through this growth, John Morrissey Accountants has remained committed to delivering quality customer service.
