Our firm is local and developed as it is today from the merging of two local accounting practices in 1970 to form Gowland, Strealy, Morales & Company, PLLC. All of the partners have practiced accounting in Corpus Christi for many years with Dudley Gowland going back to 1941. Mr. Gowland retired in 2001 and now lives in San Antonio. Because of our firm’s stability over the years and being local, we feel we can be responsive to your needs and supply consistent personnel to your work.

We are also a member of The Southern and Western Accounting Group, Inc. (SWAG) which is an association of Certified Public Accounting firms brought together by common goals -- the attainment of and recognition for the highest possible professional stature. The membership of SWAG is comprised of local firms who, through association, seek to achieve the benefits of a larger group or firm without encroaching upon the autonomy of any individual member. SWAG provides programs and services for local firms not otherwise available within the professional societies of state, national or international scope.
