Devil Dog Accounting Solutions was founded by Randy Harbin, a United States Marine Corps veteran with the core values instilled in him during service from 1984 to 1991. He brings over 19 years of federal government accounting experience, combined with military discipline, to provide exceptional financial services as a veteran-owned accounting firm serving as a Missouri business accountant.

Our firm promises you the same discipline, honor, integrity, and honesty for your accounting needs that was demanded during military service and honed through years of federal accounting experience.

Our next mission? Provide mission-focused small business tax accountant and financial advisor solutions with unwavering commitment to your financial success.

The Devil Dog Legacy

The nickname "Devil Dogs" was bestowed upon the Marines by German soldiers at the Battle of Belleau Wood in June 1918. The Germans called the Marines "Teufel Hunden" (Devil Dogs) because of their tenacity, fighting spirit, and refusal to retreat even in the face of overwhelming odds.

This legendary determination and precision under pressure became the hallmark of Marine Corps excellence. Years later, this same uncompromising commitment to mission success would define my approach to federal government accounting - first as an auditor at HHS, then through two decades of financial management at USDA.

Today, we carry that same determination and excellence into every client relationship and financial challenge we tackle. When you choose Devil Dog Accounting Solutions, you're choosing unwavering dedication to your financial success - backed by military discipline and decades of accounting expertise in complex federal environments.

The Devil Dog legacy lives on in our veteran-owned accounting firm: mission first, precision always, no retreat from excellence.
