We're one of largest and most well-respected independent accounting firms in the country. Having catered originally to fast-growing, early-stage companies that are now "all grown up," we understand how to assist clients through their growing pains and provide support in all phases of maturity. We are proactive problem solvers who bring creative thoughts to the table and take a vested interest in the success of our clients.

Of our more than 400 employees, one-third are certified public accountants (CPAs). More than 10 percent of our total staff earned a master's degree in tax, accounting, finance, or general business, and two percent have their law degree.

Every member of our valued staff strives to achieve levels of excellence in client satisfaction by practicing the highest quality of service, observing the highest ethical and professional standards, including strict adherence to confidentiality, and operating with integrity and accountability. We proudly earn the trust of our clients.

Commitment to quality is a fundamental philosophy of the firm. We strive to exceed our clients' expectations on a consistent basis. In order to assess how we are doing, we utilize a "Performance Survey." We are fortunate to have a high client response rate, which gives us confidence that the survey serves as a sound indicator of our performance. The 2007 survey results indicate that 98 percent of our clients were satisfied/extremely satisfied with the overall quality and performance of our services.

SS&G is a participant in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Triennial Peer Review Program. In accordance with AICPA requirements, we are reviewed by a designated, professional accounting firm every three years for quality and compliance with professional standards. Our last peer review was completed for the year ended 2007 from which we received a "clean" opinion, with no comment letter, verifying our adherence to professional standards.
