Beth Opell, Director of Finance

“Blue has provided our audit and tax services for over 15 years! During all this time, they have continued to offer a phenomenal level of customer service. Blue has conducted a thorough audit that culminates in a well-organized presentation to our Board, recently adding comparable metrics in the presentation to the Board. Blue has suggested meaningful steps to tighten internal controls while not overloading our small staff with unnecessary levels of work. Blue keeps us informed of upcoming changes to accounting standards well before we need to implement the standards, allowing us time to plan.

Blue’s staff is always available to provide advice on items unique to our situation. 

 Finally, we believe that Blue’s services are a good value. As due diligence, we have reached out to other audit firms for proposals over the years.  We continue to remain with Blue! This is due to the tremendous quality and value of their services.”
