I love the diversity of the personnel, each one has a unique skill set, and they all care about what’s important…”The Client!!
The people. They are very knowledgeable and quick to respond when issues arise. Jim Yard and the staff out of Pittsburg have been very helpful in the areas of IT Auditing, Mortgage Company Operations, and Wealth Management. They are very prompt in returning our calls and providing support when needed.
Knowledgeable people
Good people, firm culture and reasonably priced. It’s also nice to support a locally HQ’d firm.
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.
They collaboratively work with us.
Honesty, Integrity, Professional
Down to earth.
The people!
Working with Schneider Downs has been an absolute game-changer for our business. Their Tax and Audit teams, especially Carl Scharf, Sarah Hoagland, and Brandon Embreus, are unmatched in expertise and dedication. From day one, they took the time to understand the unique aspects of our company and developed strategies tailored to our needs. What I appreciate the most is their proactive approach; they always keep me informed of tax-saving opportunities, regulatory changes, and potential risks, so there are never any surprises. Every member of the team is approachable, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable — they make our complex world of accounting feel simple and manageable. In a world where customer service often falls short, Schneider Downs stands out with their unwavering commitment to their clients. They’re not just our accountants; they’re trusted partners who genuinely care about our success.
Brett Cubellis is the best! He always follows up and is prompt in his response.
