They collaboratively work with us.
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.
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.
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.
