OUR APPROACH TO YOUR BUSINESS AND YOUR NEEDS
Of most importance is our approach to you and your business. We have always thought that the best way to help someone is to treat them the way that we would like to be treated if we were on the other side of the desk, asking for services. To that end, we have developed some pointed service requirements for ourselves that we extend to our clients. We call it "The Client Bill of Rights" and you can read it now by clicking the link, above.
Our aim is to help you, the business owner, to made better decisions about your business. To do that we need to listen to you and learn what you feel that you need from us. The other side of listening to you is to communicate back to you what we understand your problem is and when it comes time to discuss the solutions, to speak with you in a non-technical way. If we can't do this correctly then the best answers in the world will fall flat because you can't understand our solutions.
This firm has always been what is known as general practice, which just means that we know a lot of information about a lot of subjects but we don't specialize in one particular area. What do we do if we find a situation that needs a specialist? We have that base covered by belonging to a network of CPA firms known as CPAConnect. From there we can call on CPA firms across the country that have specialized knowledge in areas that clients might need.
Our firm has gone through Peer Reviews since they came into existence in the 1980's. Our most recent Peer Review was in 2010 and we received an unmodified opinion, which is a good thing.
Here are some of the services that we have provided to clients over the years:
