Bella Vista firm buys Village Bookkeeping

A Bella Vista accounting firm announced Monday it has acquired another local bookkeeping business.

The Seay Firm said it has purchased Village Bookkeeping and Tax Service, whose owner, Mike Moles, is retiring after a 53-year career in public accounting. Moles has owned and operated Village Bookkeeping and Tax for the past 15 years.

The Seay Firm's primary office now will be located at Village's current office at 32 Sugar Creek Center and the two employees who worked alongside Moles will remain with the business.

"Over the years, I have learned that when you acquire a successful business, the No. 1 priority is to continue with the strategies that have made the business successful," said Brent Seay, founder of the accounting firm. "I do not plan to make any significant changes to Mike's business model that has served Village's clients so well in the past."

Founded in 2020, the Seay Firm is a full-service accounting business that provides tax planning and preparation, accounting, bookkeeping and payroll services.
