Client Satisfaction

Your Trusted, Proactive Partner.

You expect the experience and expertise of an accounting firm to also meet your technical demands. We go above an beyond for our clients to be a proactive advisor, not just a vendor.

At Brown Edwards, we have a proven track record of providing exceptional client service. Many of our clients have been with us for decades and, in some cases, generations, while some clients have just joined BE after years of service from another firm that was no longer able to provide the services their growing business requires. We don’t simply build reports; we build relationships, which allows us to go beyond crunching numbers and become your trusted financial partner. 

 

We believe clear and consistent communication is paramount, which is why we conduct an annual client satisfaction survey so that our firm can constantly improve and grow. The results from our  2023 client satisfaction survey show that 85.5% of our clients gave us a satisfaction score of 9 or 10 out of 10, which is significantly higher than the industry’s average of 56%. With this rating, we were recognized as a 2024 Best of Accounting Award winner by Clearly Rated, a top provider of client satisfaction surveys for the accounting industry! This is a measurable quality indicator since the Clearly Rated award solely considers client satisfaction, which indicates that the firm prioritizes client service and delivering positive outcomes for its clientele.

CFO, ALL Construction Inc.
"Before working with Brown Edwards, we were working with a smaller local firm. Our biggest challenge was their lack of a higher level of professionalism and technical knowledge. That has changed with Brown Edwards. When working with the BE team, we consistently experience a sense of unity, knowing that we're not navigating this journey alone."
Susan Kaiser
Director of Finance, Town of Blacksburg, Virginia
“I have had the pleasure of working with Brown Edwards for several years on annual compliance testing and ERISA audits. The staff is professional, responsive, and friendly. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who has need of their services.”

"During my career, I've worked at three institutions, all of which have worked with Brown Edwards. At each institution, the transition to Brown Edwards made a significant impact; financial statements were properly presented, and we were on the right footing in terms of accounting practices. From the beginning, Brown Edwards established a cooperative relationship with my team and got us on the right track."
Steve Bright
VP for Finance and Treasurer, Bridgewater College
