  • “Working with AAFCPAs has been transformative for our organization. Their support has empowered me to present our newly consolidated financials with confidence. Our board now has a clearer understanding of our financial picture, and I feel more equipped than ever to lead. The value AAFCPAs brings is, quite honestly, indescribable.”

    Indescribable Value.

    Lisa Giuffre Senior Director, Finance & Accounting Zeiterion Performing Arts Center

  • “I highly recommend AAFCPAs for anyone looking for an attractive alternative to national CPA firms. It’s so nice to have that partnership and team by our side. Before we switched to AAFCPAs, we worked with a national firm. When it came time to conduct another rotation, though AAFCPAs came highly recommended by so many, we treated them as we would any other auditing firm. At the end of the search, we went with AAFCPAs. The national firm we left was adequate. But there is just a certain white glove touch with AAFCPAs that is preferable.”

    Shelly Jackson, Director of Finance American Academy of Arts and Sciences

  • “We have asked for advice from AAFCPAs many times in the last 15 years. I can honestly say that each time the advice given has worked out exceptionally well for us. AAFCPAs’ proven advice has had a positive impact on our business practices. Every time I meet with someone from my AAFCPAs team I ask them the question: What are you seeing across our sector? And we always learn something. The unique way they deliver industry trends along with sound technical advice is very powerful.”
