  • “We are really honored to do the work we do. The group of young people we work with have a lot going on. I’m a youth worker at heart. So having our house in order economically, funding wise, and financial-system wise is crucial.

    Having a firm like AAFCPAs, with expertise for nonprofits, is critical. I think that as you grow and as you have more complicated funding sources and the need to navigate major economic shifts, having a firm that helps you advance through that and who you can comfortably ask questions to is really key. Because I don’t have a crystal ball.”

    ‘Having a firm like AAFCPAs is critical, because I don’t have a crystal ball.’

    Molly Baldwin | Founder and Chief Executive Officer Roca, Inc.

  • “AAFCPAs is much more than a CPA firm. They provide advice in many areas of our operations. For example, with their extensive understanding of the healthcare industry, they are able to assist us in assessing key performance indicators to ensure efficiencies in our revenue cycle, as well as evaluate the validity and reliability of the metrics and indicators in order for senior management to rely on them to make strategic and operational decisions considered vital to the sustainability of the organization.

    We are very happy clients and have been for 35 years! They have a deep bench and offer team rotations in order to remain objective and fresh.”

    “AAFCPAs is much more than a CPA firm.”

    Norma Mendilian, Chief Financial Officer Boston Medflight

  • “AAFCPAs is a great and valuable resource to me and HPN in many ways. In addition to audit, tax, and operational consulting, we have reached out to them to provide expertise on complex issues with cyber risk and talent management/HR.  The professionals are similarly smart, approachable, knowledgeable and always good, genuine people, which means a lot to me.  We highly respect one another, and they respect our clients too. 

    In comparing AAFCPAs to past experiences with Big 4 firms, we find them much more affordable with direct access to Partners and advisors which makes for a great client service experience.”

    ‘Whether it be technical accounting, tax issues, or operational considerations, I receive excellent guidance’

    Eric Chatman, Executive Vice-President & CFO Housing Partnership Network (HPN)
