TESTIMONIALS

A Message from a Valued Client:

"I have been involved in entrepreneurial businesses for over four decades and have worked with three of the "Big Six" (now "Big Four"), and several smaller firms. AAF can match any of them, in overall service, responsiveness, accuracy and thoroughness.  They have helped us with an overall program of SOX preparedness as well as through several complex private financings. AAF's professionalism, high level of personal service and mindful efficiency keep RailRunner a faithful client."

A Message from a Valued Client:

"Our relationship doesn't end once the annual audit is complete -- they are available for consultation throughout the year. They're not just independent auditors but consultants to organizations like ours, to ensure we have every best practice in place.  I appreciate that they translate the technical jargon into English and are willing to explain why it's important."

A Message from a Valued Client:

Prior to using AAF, I used professional tax preparers for seven years. I was very happy with what they were doing, except when I switched to my current firm, I found out that I hadn't been taking half of the deductions I was entitled to.

"I like that they have a business management perspective. They're always thinking about what they need to let me know to help me run my business more effectively. They're not just bean counters. It's not just a transaction. And they're not charging me extra for doing an in-depth analysis. I end up getting a lot more back and saving a lot more money."

CASE STUDIES

 

Business Consulting: Managing the Acquisition Process

Circumstance:
A successful manufacturer's representative company offered a high-demand product line to retailers and grew to become a manufacturer as well.  Its success attracted a prospective buyer, whose products complemented their  existing products.

Results for our valued client:
AAF played a key role in the due diligence process that led to the company's sale on favorable terms. In less than a year, our team processed enormous quantities of paper that concerned the company's financials, contracts, realty agreements, and intellectual property rights, and facilitated the closure of a division the acquiring company didn't want. AAF ensured the deal's structure would yield the best tax ramifications for the multiple business transactions involved.

Business Consulting: Managing International Business Challenge

Circumstance:
A client needed to establish a Hong Kong subsidiary for its growing manufacturing business.

Results for our valued client:
Extensive research and collaboration among the firm's CPAs ensured the transaction was completed appropriately to meet that specific market's requirements.
