Trusted financial guidance for Charleston families & businesses.
Ovie Gibson CPA AC is a Charleston, West Virginia practice helping families, retirees, professionals, and small business owners navigate taxes, bookkeeping, and the big financial decisions — with year-round support from people who actually know you.
From uncertainty to confidence — with a CPA who actually picks up the phone.

Year-Round Guidance
Quick questions, big decisions, mid-year check-ins — your CPA is a phone call away, not a once-a-year stop.
We're not just in Charleston. We're of Charleston.
From the historic streets of the East End to small businesses along the river, the Kanawha Valley is home. We've watched families grow up here, watched neighborhood shops become institutions, and walked alongside business owners through every season.
When you sit down at our office at 207 Tennessee Avenue, you're not a file number. You're a neighbor — and we treat your financial life with the care that deserves.
The reason families and business owners stay with us for decades.
We measure success in relationships, not transactions. Here's what our clients tell us, year after year, when we ask why they stay.
A real person, a real answer — usually the same day. No phone trees, no portals as a substitute for conversation.
Children, grandchildren, the business you started — we keep the full picture in mind every time we open your file.
Big decision in July? Question in October? Call us. We're not a once-a-year stop on the way to April 15.
Plain English, real recommendations, and the same advice we'd give our own family.
Two and a half decades serving the Kanawha Valley. We know West Virginia tax, West Virginia business, and West Virginia people.
Our average client has been with us for over twelve years. Many are now on their second generation.
"Ovie has been our CPA since we opened the shop. He's seen us through three expansions, a recession, and a succession plan. He's not our accountant. He's our partner."
A Charleston CPA you'll actually get to know.
Ovie Gibson grew up in West Virginia, built his practice here, and has spent the last twenty-five years helping his neighbors make sense of their financial lives. He's the CPA your accountant friends would refer their own family to.
Outside the office, you'll find Ovie at community events, supporting local nonprofits, and walking the riverfront. The same care he brings to those things is what he brings to every client conversation — patient, honest, and genuinely invested in your story.
