Featured Client Testimonials

"JumpStart solicited bids for audit and tax services in early 2009 from multiple reputable firms.   The key issue was communicating in our audited financial statements the complexity of how our nonprofit economic development organization provides intensive business assistance and invests in early-stage companies, and particularly disclosing the nature of these early-stage investments on our balance sheet which have grown as the organization completed its fifth year of operation in the current construct.  Meaden & Moore came into the proposal review with a well thought out solution to our issues, and upon winning the engagement, implemented their recommended solution in record time, producing a revised financial statement that more clearly and concisely communicated the necessary financial information to our board of directors, granting organizations, and government entities.  In my years of experience with auditors in the for profit and nonprofit space, the depth of understanding and actionable recommendations produced by an audit firm have never been better than those of Meaden & Moore."

Duke Jankura, Jr.
Chief Financial Officer
JumpStart Inc.
 

Meaden & Moore has been an integral part of our company’s growth since 1985.  We feel strongly that successful businesses must integrate a solid working relationship with their accountants, business advisors and legal advisors to complement their knowledge of the actual business.

Without their knowledge and forthright suggestions and critiques, we would not have been able to experience our high level of success.  We are very comfortable with the working relationship and ease with which they are able to communicate with us and their availability when we need them.  We certainly consider them part of our company.  Thank you everyone at Meaden & Moore.

“Our relationship with Meaden & Moore started in 2001 with a rather simple IT project. As a direct result of great customer service and exceptional results with our IT projects, our relationship with Meaden & Moore has expanded to almost all other areas of the firm.”

“During our first audit, we found Meaden & Moore’s organized approach and understanding of Habitat of Humanity really helpful.  Their audit team was familiar with the needs of our organization, which made it an efficient and effective process.  We selected Meaden & Moore as our audit firm based on their cost-conscious approach, along with their willingness to help us implement their recommendations.  Meaden & Moore’s follow through has been superior and we expect next year’s audit to be even easier.

Rochelle D. Fisher, MSTE, CFRM, Executive Director

“Initially I was a little apprehensive about switching accountants.  After a short period of time, I was convinced that using Meaden & Moore for our accounting needs was the right decision.  I continue to be completely satisfied with their work.”

Dennis Haver, M.D.
Physicians Emergency Services, Inc.
 


“Our experience with Meaden & Moore has been wonderful.  It’s an extremely positive relationship.  The team has been professional, understanding, and practical.  Mike Coyne has been a trusted advisor, leading us through any complexities we might have encountered.  He has met with our Board of Directors recently and did a great job. 

Meaden & Moore not only does our corporate audit, but they also audit our 401(k) and pension plans.  Originally, we had a Big Four firm serve us, but Meaden & Moore’s service has been phenomenal.  They provide so much hands-on service and education.  We have some new people in key positions here, and the team at Meaden & Moore has helped them significantly.

I’d highly recommend Meaden & Moore to any company looking for a trusted accounting firm and business partner.”

“We are a medium-sized company with international operations.  Meaden & Moore’s audit and tax services have provided real value to our organization.  Strong professionalism coupled with attention to our needs differentiates them from our former “Big 4” service provider.  They continue to meet and exceed our expectations.”

“It is difficult to explain what a valuable partner Meaden & Moore has been with our company. The most important assets of Meaden & Moore are their people.  A few accounting firms have efficient and knowledgeable personnel, but I know that none of them can compare with Meaden & Moore, especially with respect to trust and relationships.  Not only does Meaden & Moore do a professional job for us, but they are always making suggestions and referrals that I am sure you will not get from any other firm.”

Larry Pinkerton
Herbert Machine Works, Inc. 


“As an international company, we were in need of a reliable auditor, tax consultant, and partner.  The Firm had to be not only experts in matters regarding taxation, but also in helping us to deal with banks, lawyers, etc.  Meaden & Moore has served us well in this capacity.  They are highly responsive and a pleasure to work with.  We are very satisfied with their services.”

Daniel Vogel
Herbert Machine Works, Inc. 


“ They are top notch.  I find the Meaden & Moore team to be professionals, easy to work with and thorough.  They approach the audit in a well-organized fashion, so that we know what information we need to provide.  They are respectful of our staff and are not intrusive.”

Jane DalPra, Executive Director
Habitat for Humanity of Wayne County
 


“As a small business person, it is critical that you have expert support in key areas of your business.  Choosing the right support in accounting and tax preparation is critical.  When looking for support in these areas, I took the approach that I wanted a company with broad resources, and that utilized a team approach to my business.  No one advisor is an expert in all areas of accounting/tax, and with Meaden & Moore I found the right combination of expertise.  They utilize a team approach with Jonathan Ciccotelli advising me on tax issues, Lynn Koster handling the monthly accounting issues and assisting in closing the books effectively and accurately each month, and Barry Thoman as a general advisor on inventory, and banking needs.

This team approach is cost effective in that I have a relationship with one accounting firm to provide several layers of support.  Lynn is also serving as a mentor to my controller Kathy Buchwalter, and growing Kathy’s ability to handle the daily accounting activities.

I consider them a key part of my team, and feel they have my company’s success in mind as trusted advisors.”

“FCI Inc. is a small (70-person) precision machine shop that has been in business since 1958 and a client of Meaden & Moore since the late seventies. Sometimes old clients seem to get put on the back burner while the company solicits new business. This has never been the case with your company.  The service and personal attention is first rate. Thank you for helping us with our success.”

Kenneth Edgar, President
FCI, Inc. 

“I have been working with Meaden & Moore for many years.  Many firms can handle routine accounting matters, but the value added is Meaden & Moore’s in-depth understanding of the complicated issues facing business owners.  Only through an understanding of these issues can an accounting firm rise above the competition to become a valued business partner and trusted advisor.”

“Dan has provided accounting services for my companies for over 20 years.  I have always received exemplary service and the most thoughtful and prudent advice I could hope for.  Over the years, Dan has helped guide me through hard times and great success.  I have recommended Dan to friends and business associates and many have chosen him to be their trusted advisor as well.”
