"CPA firm for charter schools"

4.5/5

Describe the project or task CliftonLarsonAllen helped with:

CLA has been our auditors for the past several years. We started with another CPA firm that later merged with CLA, but our leading auditors remained with CLA. I was pleased about that as I truly enjoyed working with our auditors. In addition to financial audit, CLA is also our 401K audit, tax consultant, and Intacct system implementation consultant. We trust CLA to do a great job, and they have delivered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They have successfully passed every peer review inspection administered by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the California Society of Certified Public Accountants (CalCPA), as well as an independent inspection of our U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) audits, conducted by HUD’s Office of Inspector General. They are super-efficient and always on the top of their work, very adjustable too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CliftonLarsonAllen?

At times the process can get tasking, but the wait is worth it. So do not worry if you feel like it is not going fast enough, it will take its time. Also, the filing of multiple documents can get a bit overbearing at times, and they are not clear about the processing times, so if there is time crunch it is important to make it known for the faster processing of your work and documents consequently so that you can meet your deadlines without incurring any losses or harms for your firm, both financially and legally.

Recommendations to others considering CliftonLarsonAllen:

What problems is CliftonLarsonAllen solving and how is that benefiting you?

We recently began a business with NSBN. In that time, we’ve come to rely on their detail and adeptness, particularly in tax planning and asset investment advice. Based on our experience, I recommend the firm and its principals for entrepreneurs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"NSBN - CPAs & Advisors : Advising you for life "

4.5/5

Describe the project or task CliftonLarsonAllen helped with:

NSBN - CPAs & Advisors are helping me with the following activities:

- Tax Planning and compliance with the regulations

-Bookkeeping and Accounting

-Financial and Consultancy Services

-Management Services

They also helped me with a project wherein my firm was coming up with a strategy to launch a new product and it was really successfull, and the launch and startegy received widespread praise and appreciation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CliftonLarsonAllen?

The fact that they are very professional and they go out of their way to provide you help. They also make sure that all the work is done on time, at times even before so one does not fallback on filing any legal documents and hence falling into trouble.

The consultancy team is higly trained, sharp and to the point, providing out-of-the-box solutions and ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CliftonLarsonAllen?

At times, the process can get taxing, and it is a two-way street, as communication is important between both your company and them, otherwise, the entir eproject may fall apart. And constant and clear cut communication is very quintessential in such a situation to achieve the goals, as it is important to outline the goals at the very beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CliftonLarsonAllen:

This firm is really rpofessional, well-experience, well-resoruced and well-trained. It is important to be in constant touch touch with the firm and do all the work on time, as if one falls back, it can lead to delays and damages to the work environment and hence taxing and book-keeping too. But NSBN - CPAs & Advisors are really good for the price that they offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CliftonLarsonAllen solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems my firm is solving right now are:

- Tax Filing

- Accounting

- Consultancy

- New Investment strategies

Our firm realised that it is very important to have consultants, as it is not possible for a firm to do all the tasks, especially related to the Fed without prior knolwedge as it can lead to a catastrophe if done worng. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
