Get to Know Us
Manley Garvin is a firm built on experience, growth, and a mission to provide trusted financial guidance to businesses and communities across the Southeast.
Our History
Manley Garvin was founded in 2015 by Jim Manley and Josh Garvin, who both spent their careers at a large regional accounting firm before purchasing the Greenwood practice. Since then, we’ve grown into a progressive, fast-paced firm with a family-like atmosphere and a team of around 35 professionals. We’re still grounded in core compliance services, handling a high volume of tax returns, but we’re also rapidly expanding our audit work, with a focus on nonprofits and local government, and offering a growing range of bookkeeping and client accounting services. At Manley Garvin, we work hard, enjoy what we do, and always look ahead to what’s next.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide clear, practical, and strategic guidance to businesses, not-for-profits, and local governments by leveraging expertise, personalized planning, and proactive support to help stakeholders overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and achieve their goals with confidence.

We launched our firm with the intent to reclaim and strengthen the trust of those who choose to work with us. You aren’t just a number in the equation but a valuable and strategic partner. Our core values reflect the values of every client we work with.
