Brad's long tenure with us was valuable on many occasions, given our turnover in leadership and finance, as he could always provide historical and financial context. We deeply trust and depend on our partnership with Barnes for all of our non-profit accounting and tax needs--routine or unexpected as with the PPP Loan and ERTC--their industry and agency knowledge is invaluable to supporting our work and success.

It was a difficult 2 years selling my engineering company after 46 years in business. Brad is such a kind person and his thoughtfulness in giving me advice and guidance was just as helpful as the financial and technical advice I received.
