Customer Reviews

The communication from your firm was very timely and consistent and the inspections went great!  We didn’t have any complaints or comments from our operations people, which is amazing considering how many stores you visited.  All in all, I thought it was a very well-managed and efficient project that really didn’t take a lot of time once the data was gathered.

Can’t thank you enough for finding these guys!

A million percent better… responsive, professional, and timely… what more could we ask for?

Nice!!! So my partners get about $247k in tax savings (assuming a 39% tax rate) and paid out only $53k!!!!!

Nearly $200k CASH SAVINGS!!!

I think this will be in my self-evaluation this year!!! Thanks for making me look so smart!!!!!
