D. A. Rainsberger Co. is a family-owned, Christian-based accounting firm that has been helping those in full-time ministry since its founding in 1952.

In the 1980s, Ken Howard’s uncle, Gary Rainsberger took over the business; and Ken followed in his steps in 2011. A 1997 Cedarville graduate with a degree in accounting, Ken uses his gifts in accounting and 15 years of experience preparing taxes to help missionaries.
