Key qualities of KBA that I noticed were the quality of its personnel, excellent service and a professional atmosphere that was always displayed along with their ability to meet our deadline. Our change to KBA was one of our more positive business decisions that have been made. I am a former Big Eight audit partner and would definitely recommend switching to KBA.

Developer and marketer of staple consumer products to volume retailers. Our audit provides credibility for us with customers and bankers. Our KBA team knows our business and knows what we need. They give us feedback during the year in identifying if an idea or approach is the best route to take. We can e-mail any time of year and get a quick response. It is important when we’re in the middle of doing something and want to make sure it will be OK when we are audited. We work together. Overall, what we like best about KBA is the personal, responsive service and the security that they know what they are doing.

We realize costs savings compared to the Big Four and we appreciate the continuity and efficiency of repeat staff. KBA has kept us a priority meeting our targeted year-end audit schedule and they are good at keeping us up-to-date with current accounting practices. They do what they say they are going to do — they are reliable, consistent and efficient.

We like not being a number in a large firm. We wanted the same team to interact with, not a gigantic firm with disjointed staffing and large fees. With KBA we deal with a consistent team that stays on top of the changing rules and regulations. KBA keeps us informed and helps us plan for emerging issues and how to position for the future. They listen to what we are doing; they know our business and know how we operate. They are aware of issues in our market, and know what will impact us. With their knowledge and commitment to service, KBA saves us time and money and makes it easier for us to focus on meeting our business goals.

After 10 years of working with my father in the family business, we faced the challenge of making a successful transition. I want to express my appreciation for the plan you put together for our company. It looks like the best possible scenario and I trust that much of your motivation comes from your experience with family business and dealing with the emotional and personal ramifications. It appears the plan is not only well laid out for financial, tax and estate planning, but is also set up to help prevent future personal issues in our family. I am very thankful we got in touch with someone of your expertise to do this. I can’t imagine trying to do it any other way.
