In identifying [opportunities for
improvement], you have put us in your debt.
Over the past two years . . . this agency
has depended upon you for advice and assistance in overwhelming measure. You have rendered invaluable and outstanding
advice.
Although my business is small . . . having
your wisdom and guidance to draw upon is something I truly treasure.
I have always considered Dan to be one of
the most knowledgeable CPA’s and professional people that I have ever met.
I have the utmost respect for your knowledge
and experience. I can always count on
you for having the answer to the tough questions and the right answer for the
profession.
Your firm’s engagement files are among the
finest that I have ever reviewed. The
various narrative papers are extremely informative and add an understanding of
the client not evident in many firms’ engagement files.
My belief is we get very good and very
accurate – in fact excellent – audits from you and your firm and I think you
take the steps needed to make sure to keep on top of things in the field.
We have used Chapin [Owen and Sandstrom] for
a number of years and have been very satisfied.
I am of the view that [client’s] future
would have been bleak, indeed, were it not for the work which you did.
Just wanted to spend some time thanking you
and Ellen for all you’ve taught me and how much you guys have helped this
firm. I will never forget how you and
Ellen helped me understand and switched the lightbulb on for me that things
weren’t right.
Outstanding letter . . . clear, precise,
accurate and thoughtful. I am very
pleased at your professionalism.
In case any of your clients are looking for
an auditor, this is who we use to audit both our 401k Plan and
our financial statements. His firm also does our corporate
tax returns for MI, LA, TX and VA. He and his firm are very
knowledgeable and great to work with.
The auditor we work with is Dan Sandstrom,
