(1947-2021)

Marshall grew up in Asheville, North Carolina, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in accountancy at nearby Mars Hill College. Following college, Marshall relocated to the Charlotte area for work where he would eventually meet his wife, Brenda, who was just graduating from Winthrop University in Rock Hill. In the following years, they welcomed their three children, Betsy, Allen, and Brandon (as well as numerous pets) while Marshall worked in accounting for companies like US Foods and Bowater.

Eventually, Marshall saw the opportunity to start his own business by helping individuals and companies in the Rock Hill community with tax preparation services. As his children grew up, along with the families of Brenda’s and his friends, he understood that there were other parts of life he could help people prepare for leading to adding different areas of practice to where we are today.

Over roughly 30 years, Marshall A. Hill & Associates Inc. has had the pleasure to grow with our clients, including welcoming some of their children and even grandchildren to the firm as new clients. And that’s not the only generational element of our company. Prior to his passing in 2021, his two sons Allen and Brandon took on larger roles at the firm and have since strived to carry on Marshall's legacy.

We, along with the clients who knew him, will always cherish the memories, lessons and laughs we shared with Marshall over the years. His endearing personality is why we continue to operate with the same name, principles and integrity he carried so proudly throughout his life.

Allen Hill leads the firm’s original and main office in Rock Hill, continuing the legacy that has shaped Marshall A. Hill & Associates for decades. With a strong foundation in tax services and long-standing client relationships, Allen plays a central role in delivering the approachable, personalized experience the firm is known for.

Allen believes financial guidance should feel steady and relationship-driven, not transactional. Whether working with business owners, retirees, or growing families, he focuses on listening first and building strategies that reflect each client’s real-life priorities. His strength lies in simplifying complex financial matters and helping clients feel confident about the road ahead.

Proud to serve the same community he calls home, Allen lives in nearby York, South Carolina with his wife and their two sons on their family farm. When he’s not in the office, you’ll likely find him spending time with his family and their dogs, camping, or working on woodworking projects. In fact, some of his craftsmanship has even appeared at local art fairs and markets, a reflection of the care and attention to detail he brings both to his hobbies and to his clients.

Together with his brother Allen, Brandon Hill represents the next generation of leadership at Marshall A. Hill & Associates, helping expand the firm’s presence while honoring its long-standing Carolina heritage. Growing up around the family business, Brandon witnessed firsthand the trust and generational relationships that define the firm’s culture, values he carries into his own client work today.

After studying business administration at USC Upstate, Brandon was drawn back to the area not only for its professional opportunities, but for its proximity to the mountains and the lifestyle it offers. He has been instrumental in broadening the firm’s services and bringing comprehensive financial planning to families and individuals across the Upstate region.

Outside the office, Brandon enjoys traveling, fly fishing, cheering on Gamecock football, and spending time outdoors with his yellow lab, Summer. His appreciation for the region and its natural beauty mirrors the grounded, personal approach he brings to serving clients.
