As the Chief Financial Officer of our company, I am acutely aware of the need for relevant and timely advice from outside professionals. Those to whom we look for knowledge beyond ours, financial and managerial expertise outside of our own and proficiencies that are not found within our organization must possess more than simply technical knowledge. Our success depends to a great extent on these professionals we rely upon who have the ability to objectively evaluate, assess, and then communicate very focused, precise and accurate answers to our organizational needs. I can confidently say we have found those characteristics in our relationship with Barnes Wendling CPA’s. They have shown a sincere commitment to our future success while maintaining their dedication to pragmatic solutions for the daily challenges we face.
