What our clients say
Abdo is organized and has an excellent system in place. Their secret ingredient is their excellent people, they care and they are responsive. They helped me clean up a messy tax situation when I first came to them.
I like the cooperative attitude and the feeling that we are both working toward the same goal of an accurate financial report. Some firms see the audit as an opportunity to find and amplify management accounting mistakes and misunderstandings.
I appreciate their balance of patience, thoroughness, and humor both with our clients and with us as accountants. It truly feels like a collaboration, which makes audits feel less intimidating for everyone!
