The firm roots date back to the early 1960’s when
Chester L. Warren (founder) opened Chester L. Warren PA at 100 Main Street
in Madisonville, Tennessee. In the mid-1960’s his wife, Mary Sue Warren
joined the accounting office after obtaining her public accounting
license.
In the early 1970’s,
Chester and David P. Bales opened an office on Monroe Street in
Sweetwater, Tennessee. Chester and Mary Sue continued to operate the
accounting office in Madisonville while David managed the Sweetwater
office.
In 1977, upon college
graduation, Douglas E. Warren joined the firm full time as a Madisonville
staff accountant. After a lengthy illness, Chester Warren passed away in
1981. The Sweetwater office operated under several different names

accepted a position with a client, in 1984, Douglas Warren moved to
Sweetwater and continued the firm as Warren & Bales PC. Meanwhile, Mary
Sue Warren assumed operation of the Madisonville office under the name M.
Sue Warren CPA. Later, the Sweetwater office merged with G. R. Rush and
