Not many companies have a skyline for a resume. But plumbing and mechanical company T.J. Dyer has helped to build many of Cincinnati’s landmarks. Now, it has a team working to help it build a stronger future.
The challenge
Success in the construction industry calls for constant change. To stay competitive, T.J. Dyer has made a considerable investment in cutting-edge technology, like an upgraded control system that’s boosted its productivity. But the team knew there were potentially other innovations that could help build the business. Were there other ideas they were missing?
The strategy
T.J. Dyer’s parent company, Grote Enterprises, decided to switch from a large international accounting firm to Barnes Dennig, a local firm with many construction industry clients. Grote Enterprise’s then-CFO commented, “You always get the feel that (the large international firms) are only interested in their bigger clients. The rates keep going up, and you don’t get the level of personal service. The level of turnover with their people – that was a concern as well. You feel like you’re not getting the appropriate attention that you’d like.”
Barnes Dennig’s construction professionals took on the task of developing new strategies and insights based on up-to-the-minute industry trends and tax laws, providing in-depth personal attention to help the business grow. And that turned out to be a boon for T.J. Dyer.
The results
T.J. Dyer values the responsiveness, ideas, and continuity Barnes Dennig brings to the table. And the CPA firm’s insights have benefited T.J. Dyer in many ways. They’ve enabled the company to prepare its clients for future shifts in technology and strategy. They’ve also freed T.J. Dyer to refocus on the products, services, and geographic markets that first made it successful.
“We’re grateful to be able to serve a company with a proud history and a forward-looking leadership,” Barnes Dennig director Jim Donnellon said. “We’re proud of our own history of serving the business community in Greater Cincinnati, so we really appreciate the longevity and high quality of the Grote legacy.”
