Our Story

BCP Accountants began with a simple mission: to bring personalized, expert accounting and tax services to businesses and individuals across California. Founded in the 1960s by Wayman Watts in the heart of Fresno, our firm has grown into a trusted name in the accounting industry, known for its unwavering commitment to client success and community engagement.

As the firm grew, it built a reputation for personalized attention and expert financial guidance. In 2005, Tim Baker joined the firm to take over from the previous leadership and continue the tradition of excellence. A few years later, in 2007, Valerie Parkey came on board, bringing her expertise and passion for client success. Together, Tim and Valerie have nurtured the firm’s people-oriented approach, focusing on building lasting relationships with clients and helping them achieve their financial goals.

Over the years, BCP Accountants has expanded from a locally focused firm into a comprehensive accounting and tax service provider for businesses and individuals across California. Despite our growth, Tim and Valerie have kept the personal touch that defines our approach, finding joy in seeing clients' plans come to life and watching their businesses thrive over time.

Fresno will always be our home, and we are proud to give back to the community that has supported us for decades. From partnering with local businesses to providing expert guidance that drives growth, BCP Accountants is deeply invested in the success of Fresno and the wider California community

As we continue to bolster our own Central Valley community and expand our services across California, our goal remains the same: to simplify the complex world of tax and business for our clients, offering the guidance and expertise they need to thrive in a competitive market. Tim and Valerie remain dedicated to fostering personal connections with clients, seeing them grow, and guiding them every step of the way.
