Our Size and Clientele Barrett & Company PLLC has a highly diversified clientele representing various industries, primarily in construction, manufacturing, and transportation. Our clients range in size from $100 million in annual sales revenues to much smaller operations. Closely-held corporations are the backbone of our practice. Serving these clients requires a different philosophy and approach than that traditionally taken by the large national, regional and local firms. Our primary function is to serve the basic interests and needs of the stockholders. This necessitates a recognition of the corporation as an extension of the stockholder’s personal goals and objectives. Our Service Philosophy We provide our clients the full scope of accounting, tax and management advisory services, in addition to fulfilling the basic audit and review function. The Barrett & Company PLLC team member assigned to serve a client is empowered to commit our firm in matters of policy. Our clients are not faced with unnecessary delays because decisions must be referred to a distant headquarters office. This assures our clients of a single line of communication and responsibility. Our working relationship with our clients is designed to provide for prompt discussion of all important matters as they arise. We strive at all times to avoid last-minute surprises. Our philosophy emphasizes the importance of our certified public accountants staying actively involved with their clients. Providing service is a personal affair and the continual changing of key personnel is equivalent to continually changing CPA’s. Also, we believe such personnel must be actively involved or they cannot apply their talents in a cost-effective manner. The continuity we are able to provide through this approach, we believe, has yielded considerable benefits to our clients in more attentive and informed services at lower costs. We utilize a “team approach” in our engagements to provide the broadest possible service for our clients. We also emphasize heavy involvement by more experienced members of our firm. Throughout the year, we strive to maintain continuous communication with our clients, in order to serve as a sounding board for accounting, auditing, tax and everything else associated with their business. We are confident that we have the capability and expertise to fully satisfy all professional requirements. |
