About George
George has more than 25 years of experience and an enduring passion for estate planning and wealth management, using his strong business and analytical capabilities to design financial strategies that help clients align their vision with their goals.
His extensive experience not only provides him with a unique perspective but has ultimately led him to estate planning and wealth management. Working with high-net-worth clients whose investments required more and more attention from a tax planning perspective, he found that their goals often weren’t lining up with their strategies, and, his interest piqued, he started asking questions.
His professional memberships include the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Kentucky Society of Certified Public Accountants and the Ohio Society of Certified Public Accountants. In recognition of his skill and contributions to both the industry and the community, George was named to the Forbes Best-in-State CPAs List in 2025.
In addition, he has been asked to participate as a peer reviewer for the AICPA’s Oversight Committee as part of its audit quality enhancement project. Also, George is a member of the Report Acceptance Body (RAB) Committee for Peer Reviews of the Kentucky Society of CPAs (KYCPA).
Outside of work, George is a member of the Kenton County Parks and Recreation Board and the Northern Kentucky University Alumni Association. He’s a past Committee Member of the Kenton County Judge Executive’s task force to reform the County’s Health Insurance Plan, the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Education Committee and past Treasurer of the Kenton County Knothole League.
George holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from Northern Kentucky University with a major in accounting. He began his career with a regional firm before co-founding his own firm, Bertke, Sparks & Kremer CPAs, which merged with Barnes Dennig in 2014.
