Established Trust, Secure Delivery

Harden, Cummins, Moss & Miller, L.L.C. is a CPA firm built for people who want clear numbers, confident decisions, and a process that feels steady—especially when life and business get complicated.

We’re based in Chillicothe and Kirksville, Missouri, with deep local roots and a modern approach to how work gets done: timely communication,  clear guidance, and secure handling of sensitive information. We also work with many clients who live or do business outside our immediate area, including across Missouri and nationwide, so you can count on a workflow that’s designed to work well whether you’re down the street or out of state.

Who we are

Our firm traces its history back to 1947, when it was founded in Chillicothe. Over the decades, the mission has stayed consistent: deliver careful work, treat clients with respect, and provide practical guidance that holds up under real-world pressure.

Today, we continue that legacy with the tools and workflows clients expect now—especially when it comes to communication and secure document handling.
