The Whitaker‑Myers Group is proud to announce the acquisition of John Mosca CPA, PC, located at 1 Mallett Way in Bluffton, South Carolina. This strategic addition strengthens the Group’s integrated tax, wealth management, insurance, and benefits platform while deepening its commitment to long-standing, relationship-driven client service.
Whitaker-Myers Group is comprised of Whitaker‑Myers Insurance Agency, Whitaker‑Myers Benefit Plans, Whitaker‑Myers Wealth Managers, and Whitaker‑Myers Tax Advisors. The addition of John Mosca, CPA, PC, meaningfully expands Whitaker-Myers Tax Advisors’ and Wealth Managers' footprint in the Lowcountry and reinforces the Group’s long-term vision of delivering coordinated financial guidance under one roof.
Continuity, Familiar Faces, and a Thoughtful Transition
Clients can expect continuity and familiarity throughout the transition. John Mosca will continue working closely with the Whitaker-Myers team throughout 2026, maintaining a few of his long-standing client relationships—mainly those he has historically served out of New York City.
In addition, John’s employee Gabriel Reyes, who recently earned his Enrolled Agent (EA) designation with the IRS, will be joining Whitaker-Myers Tax Advisors—bringing deep knowledge of the client base and a shared commitment to service excellence.
To further support clients in the region, David Gearhart, Associate Advisor with Whitaker-Myers Wealth Managers and an Enrolled Agent (EA) with the IRS, has relocated to the Bluffton area. David will help serve existing wealth management clients while assisting John Mosca CPA clients who are interested in transitioning their financial planning and investment management to Whitaker-Myers’ team of CFP® professionals, including John‑Mark Young, Logan Doup, and Timothy Hilterman.
The Power of Integrated Tax and Financial Planning
One of the defining strengths of the Whitaker-Myers model is genuine collaboration between tax and wealth management professionals. When your CPA and financial planner are on the same team, opportunities don’t get missed—Roth conversion planning, retirement income strategies, charitable giving, estate coordination, and proactive tax planning all work together seamlessly.
“As CPAs, we see firsthand how decisions made in isolation can create unnecessary tax consequences,” said Kage Rush, President of Whitaker-Myers Tax Advisors. “Bringing John Mosca CPA, PC into our firm allows us to elevate the client experience by aligning tax strategy with long-term financial planning—intentionally and proactively, not reactively.”
John‑Mark Young, President of Whitaker-Myers Wealth Managers, added:
“Our clients benefit most when planning is coordinated. When tax professionals and CFP® practitioners are working side by side, clients gain clarity, confidence, and better outcomes. This acquisition reflects our belief that families deserve a team—not a collection of disconnected advisors.”
A Legacy of Multi-Generational Service
Whitaker-Myers Group has served families since 1869, helping multiple generations navigate changing financial landscapes with wisdom, stewardship, and care. That long-term mindset aligns naturally with the relationships John Mosca has built over decades—relationships Whitaker-Myers is honored to continue.
“We warmly welcome the John Mosca CPA clients into the Whitaker-Myers family,” Young added. “Our goal is not just to serve you well today, but to walk alongside your children and grandchildren for generations to come.”
Looking Ahead in Bluffton
The Bluffton office at 1 Mallett Way will soon be rebranded as Whitaker-Myers Group, reflecting the expanded services now available to clients. A client appreciation and introduction event is being planned for March 2026, allowing clients to meet the broader Whitaker-Myers team before the close of tax season.
As Whitaker-Myers Group continues to grow thoughtfully and strategically, its mission remains unchanged: to provide integrated, values-driven financial guidance that helps families plan wisely, reduce complexity, and move confidently into the future.
