Once again you have responded in what I can only call an exceedingly quick turn-around and thoroughly answered all my questions.

Working with Todd Koch, Joy McAdoo and the JAK team has been a rewarding experience for me and my firm. Their direction and advice in financial planning/reporting, banking relationships and tax planning (both corporate and personal) has been invaluable. Todd, in particular, has been a trusted advisor in many strategic corporate and personal decisions over the course of my professional life, one of which culminated in the planning and process of the sale of my company to an ESOP Trust.

Minger Construction has been with JAK for over 30 years. Starting out as a small construction company they helped set up our accounting and bookkeeping; and as Minger had grown they have grown with us as well. We feel that we are more than just an accounting client. Over the decades we have a trust of their tax knowledge and appreciate the work they do and the professional friendships formed over the years.
