Deep expertise, consummate professionals and responsive/transparent communications.
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.
Their knowledge of our account allows for efficient conversation.
They are always professional and provide timely insights when asked.
Our audit team is tremendous. They are available to us and very involved in Finance and University operations and I am grateful for their partnership. Their technical expertise is valuable to us as we navigate financial issues and understand best practices in higher ed.
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!
Personalized service with integrity.
The engagement of the SD team in our business is welcoming. This is both on the audit and tax side. I really like how the Partner-In-Charge of both sides and I work together to make sure we achieve the desired outcomes from our respective teams in the time frames agreed upon.
