New Accounting Partner Brings Constructive Change

Construction Company Finds Value Beyond the Big Four

When it comes to accounting firms, bigger isn’t always better. Often, it’s quite the opposite.

Danis Building Construction Company had been using a large international firm for accounting, audit, and tax preparation consulting. But after that firm revised its fee structure, it informed Danis that the cost of its services was about to rise substantially.

The challenge

Danis’s CFO had a theory: his company’s account was not really a priority for a Big Four firm, and he thought he might get more focus – and better business results – from a regional firm. His mission was clear: find a cost-effective CPA firm that cared about his company and did high-quality work.

Switch to a regional accounting firm, said Danis’ bonding company and bank. The CFO followed their advice.

The strategy

After interviewing six firms that fit the criteria, Danis chose Barnes Dennig. The firm’s presentation was impressive. Its fee proposal was competitive. And it had extensive construction expertise.

The results

Danis immediately saw that its new accounting firm took client service seriously.

That large international firm would send out different people every year, it seemed. Young people, fresh out of school. Danis often wound up having to train them. Now, the company got seasoned accounting professionals with years of construction experience. It also got great continuity from year to year. So those professionals didn’t just know construction; they also understood Danis’s unique needs and objectives.

The difference shows in their work. According to the Danis CFO, Barnes Dennig’s accounting, audit, and tax preparation services are just as good as — and often better than — those of a Big Four firm. Audits run much more smoothly, he notes, and they take a lot less time than they used to.

Now, that’s a happy ending.
