Serving Centre County Businesses and Residents since 1971
Our founders, Ron Dotts and Debbie Hamilton, have proudly served our community since 1971. What began as a commitment to providing trusted, personalized service grew into the company we are today.
Their dedication, expertise, and genuine care for the people and businesses in our community laid the foundation for Dotts Hamilton. Their vision continues to guide us as we provide quality tax, accounting, payroll, and notary services to our clients.
For more than five decades, we have been proud to build lasting relationships and serve generations of individuals, families, and businesses in our community.
Although we initially focused on serving local residents and businesses, we have since expanded our reach and now work with clients from a variety of locations.

What’s the difference between an EA and a CPA?
Our team consists of two Enrolled Agents (EAs) who specialize in tax preparation, tax planning, and tax representation. You may be wondering, “What’s the difference between an EA and a CPA?” Both EAs and CPAs can have unlimited representation rights before the IRS. However, EAs specialize specifically in taxation, while CPAs have a broader focus that can include accounting, auditing, and financial planning.

We’re proud to be a trusted part of our community and look forward to helping you make sense of your numbers, too.
