Carey & Hanna Tax & Wealth Planners began as a CPA firm in Ventura, California in 1985. Founded by Bob Carey and his father and fellow CPA, John, the firm has evolved over the years to meet clients’ broad – and often complex – financial needs.

In the early 1990s, Tom Hanna joined the firm as a partner, creating the ‘Carey & Hanna’ brand as we know it today. In 2007, Bob's son, Davin, joined the firm becoming the third-generation Carey to enter the family business. In 2020, Davin was tapped by national broker dealer, Avantax Wealth Management^SM to help expand a new RIA model – called Avantax Planning Partners^SM – across Southern California. Davin and his team continue to serve our planning and investment clients through their affiliation with APP.

Over the years, Carey & Hanna has been recognized for its impressive growth and excellence in client service and advice. In 2013, Davin Carey was named to the Premier Advisor Forum – a group recognizing the 15 top-performing advisors affiliated with Avantax – and to the President’s Advisor Council in 2016. Carey & Hanna has received the Reader’s Choice Award from local media outlets, including the Ventura County Star, and has been tapped for expertise in a number of industry publications.
