Industry Specialties
— INDUSTRY EXPERTISE WITH PERSONAL SERVICE —
We are a full-service public accounting firm dedicated to providing high-quality accounting, tax, financial planning, computer technology, management advisory, and attest services. We are set apart from other CPA Advisory firms because we are large enough to serve a broad client base yet small enough for personal service. We are dedicated to helping you achieve your business and personal goals.
Many niche industries—such as government, nonprofit, agriculture, financial institutions, and small business, just to name a few—require exceptional knowledge and creative perspectives. We recognize that each of our clients is unique and, as a result, involves custom accounting solutions that fit their needs.

Our team members are trained in the new developments through required annual attendance at national or regional conferences. Please contact us with any questions you may have about how the Employee Benefit Audit Group can help you.
