Every thing from keeping us up on all of the changes to consistent timely assistance when we need!
I love the diversity of the personnel, each one has a unique skill set, and they all care about what’s important…”The Client!!
Good people, firm culture and reasonably priced. It’s also nice to support a locally HQ’d firm.
The people are knowledgeable and care about positively impacting our business.
Good continuity throughout the engagement teams showing complete understanding from Shareholder all the way down to the senior and staff level.
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.
Brett Cubellis is the best! He always follows up and is prompt in his response.
Great relationship with our primary POC – Jim Sayer. Excellent knowledge base and highly responsive to our business needs. SD has added real value to our taxation reporting and strategy.
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.
