We are a growing company, and Schneider Downs has been a trusted partner for us.
The People, they make the firm successful… their knowledge is what I look for in an accounting firm.
We had the pleasure of working with an exceptionally professional and knowledgeable team on our SOX 404 audit for the 2024 cycle. The team navigated the complexities of a first-year review with precision and efficiency. They stayed on budget, which was no small feat given the scope and depth of the work involved.
Not only is their professional and experience so valuable to our organization, their availability throughout the engagement and any time throughout the entire year is terrific and that line of communication is very helpful and adds value to their services.
As an entrepreneur that has started and sold multiple businesses, my Schneider Downs team have provided the highest quality expertise when filing personal and corporate tax returns and when I sold my businesses. Their guidance saved me hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax savings, while ensuring compliance with Federal and State laws. They listened to my concerns and answered my questions in a timely manner, providing options and recommendations that ultimately made these very complex transactions simple and understandable. This team proved to be indispensable partners to me, my leadership team, and my family, and I highly recommend Schneider Downs to any business owners, small or large.
We’ve had an amazing SD team. My experience has been that they have a partnership approach and are focused on education and identifying areas for continuous improvement.
The SOC 1 and SOC 2 teams are great to work with, and they are talented professionals.
I’ve worked with SD for a long time and my experiences don’t vary. Strong firm leaders have been attached to our nonprofit. As much as one can say “we loved having our auditors on site”, we do!
