Unlock your true business potential and evolve your digital footprint with SD Digital.
In a business world where competition and consumer demands are multiplying, investing in digital is not just a requirement for relevance but a race against market obsolescence. From financial impacts and attrition to a decline in market share, there’s a bleak future facing organizations that view the status quo as their final state.
Which is why it comes as no surprise that IT spending is nearly $1.4 trillion worldwide – but what is surprising, is that 84% of companies considered their digital journey a failure. In our experience, the lack of digital success stems from the lack of digital literacy that is required to effectively implement change.
With a pioneering spirit and client-first mindset, we strive to de-risk, demystify and deliver outcome-focused, iterative solutions that translate technology into transformative change.

Professionalism and pragmatic
The past year has been the perfect example of what I like best about Schneider Downs. In addition to our recurring annual corporate audit, tax compliance, and employee benefit plan audit / TPA services, SD&Co has provided us with cyber security consulting, breach response, lease accounting software and implementation, and estate valuation services. It is great to know that with a call to one of our primary relationship contacts, we can quickly and confidently be placed in the hands of an expert in any number of financial-related services. Communication and consistency within all SD&Co. service offerings is fantastic!!!
We have been overwhelmingly happy with the people and services that we receive from Schneider Downs. Not everyone understands the nuances of nonprofit finance, but SD does. While we are required to have an audit and to file with the IRS and Commonwealth, we view our relationship with Schneider Downs as more of a partnership. We are constantly bounces our thoughts off of our SD team for agreement and/or guidance so that there are no surprises on either side. The SD team has been great to work with. They are respectful and knowedgeable about our industry/business and we appreciate our relationship.
The best thing is the partnership. Patrick and team are always responsive and great to work with. I love the open dialogue and professionalism. The team at SD is very knowledgeable and I feel they take the step further to exceed rather than just meet our expectations.
Good continuity throughout the engagement teams showing complete understanding from Shareholder all the way down to the senior and staff level.
Very responsive. Lower cost option compared to Big 4.
The people are knowledgeable and care about positively impacting our business.
Knowledgeable people
