Good people.
PRIMARY CONTACTS: John J. Huckle, Patrick B. Armknecht CPA,CITP
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.

We treat Schneider Downs as our business advisor. Before we make big monetary decisions, one of our first phone calls is to Schneider Downs to get their opinion and council.
They are truly a full-service firm – we utilize the tax, audit, transaction, cybersecurity, 401k, and family office teams.
My family has been working with Darin Schindler for almost 30 years. Darin is a consummate professional and our family’s most-trusted advisor. I have nothing but the highest praise for him and his team at SD.
They collaboratively work with us.
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 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.
