Padgett Success Story
Challenge: A Chicago bakery faced significant profitability and cash flow problems. The business suffered a $34,000 loss, leading the owners to consider closing.
Solution: Upon doing a preliminary audit, Padgett discovered that the bakery was spending a significant amount on ineffective traditional advertising, recommending allocating marketing funds to social media and community events. Another abnormality detected was that the cost of goods accounted for 50% of the revenue, prompting the agency to suspect internal theft and install a new POS system to track cashiers’ keystrokes and other surveillance.
Results: In just a year after the collaboration, the bakery realized $47,000 profit, swinging in an impressive $81,000 in profitability since the initial contact. The successful turnaround enabled the owners to consider expansion, leading to the opening of a second, highly profitable location the following year.

Being a completely scatty and non-tech driven "creative," I could not survive without Keach Assistants. They are calm people who can bring me down from the ceiling when I am panicked about something and who can deal with the more complicated details of my business proficiently and charmingly. It is always nice also to learn from them because they are knowledgeable in a wide range of business skills. Without a doubt, I would highly endorse their services to anybody seeking the services of a highly skilled VAs, but still offering fairly affordable prices.

I recommend this CPA is highly recommended for anyone who wants more than basic tax preparation and is looking for ongoing, strategic advice to legally minimize taxes and support long‑term financial goals. The combination of technical competence, proactive planning, and strong client communication makes this a valuable advisor for both personal and business tax needs.Also his team kept strength is year‑round tax planning, including advice on maximizing deductions, timing income and expenses, and using retirement accounts or HSAs to reduce taxable income.Manmeet also reviews available credits and incentives, and state‑specific tax breaks that many taxpayers overlook.

His guidance has helped us grow, scale, and succeed in ways we couldn’t have done alone.

I highly recommend Cloud Tax Ltd. They are meticulous in their work. They were happy to explain clearly and in non-technical terms the details of my tax return. Also, they are helpful in making other suggestions relating to tax. An absolute pleasure to do business with!

Vishal Sharma's Review Sourced from Google
I don’t usually write reviews but every now and then i come across an extremely good service that deserves a mention. Professional, proactive and knowledgeable. Mohit and team went the extra mile and provided more than just the run of the mill services that a lot of accountants provide. I did my due diligence on 2 other accountants at the time and i’m pleased to say that Cloud not only impressed during the initial stages but also on delivery. The other accountants were just an “admin” service. Without sounding arrogant i have enough skills with a calculator and experience of completing online forms to do without them. Mohit and team provide a proper “value added” service with advice to boot.

Working with Burkland has been exceptional. Their responsive service and guidance through our early-stage startup journey were invaluable, ultimately contributing to a successful exit. Steve Lord's expertise was particularly impactful. I've engaged Burkland multiple times for different companies and would absolutely work with them again. Highly recommended for startups seeking top-tier financial consulting, guidance, and leadership.

Jessica has made a huge difference to our startup. We started working with Burkland after a firm which communication was bad, responses shady and chasing them was the norm. With Jessica the experience is the complete opposite - she behaves as part of the team, drives initiatives, ensures our startup's financial and tax compliance along with her team and is extremely efficient in communication. What a great choice we've made!

Alexis Garbarino's Review Sourced from Google
I hired Burkland Associates to help our family-owned business transition from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online. We have been in business since 1973, and while I understand that Burkland focuses on startups, we had been informed their team could help us with the significant accounting overhaul we needed as an established business. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what we expected.From the very start, working with Emily Felceti was frustrating and unprofessional. Despite making it clear that our books were outdated and our accounting needs were complex, Emily’s attitude was dismissive, and she provided no meaningful support. When my mother joined the conversation, Emily became increasingly rude. There was only one virtual meeting between the three of us during which Emily appeared overwhelmed with the task of training small business owners, and she never provided the training we needed. Afterward, Emily canceled every meeting we tried to schedule and failed to follow through on any commitments.Due to Emily's lack of responsiveness, I eventually reached out to Karina Kongo, who had helped us during the initial stages of the transition. Karina was helpful, but by this point, we had already been left without the support we desperately needed.Burkland unexpectedly dropped us as clients in the middle of our work without completing the transition, leaving us in a difficult position. We did not pay the final invoice because the work was left unfinished, and we were left to manage the transition ourselves. Burkland then turned the unpaid invoice over to collections, and the correspondence included an internal email from Emily, in which she inaccurately and unprofessionally described us as “very rude and difficult to train.” In reality, there was only one meeting, and during that time, Emily was neither helpful nor responsive to our needs.While I believe that Burkland Associates may have strong team members suited to startup-focused projects, our experience was a significant disappointment. Emily's lack of professionalism, poor communication, and mishandling of the transition was a major setback for our business. As a small family-owned business, this left us in a very challenging situation. We were wildly frustrated and disappointed with how this relationship was handled, and I would not recommend Burkland Associates to established businesses seeking reliable support.

Small businesses face specific challenges that accounting firms can help overcome, without disrupting their financial stability and growth potential:
Navigating complex tax laws and regulations to avoid penalties
Providing accurate and timely financial statements for decision-making
Assisting in creating realistic budgets and financial projections

Keeping detailed records of business expenses for better cost control
Preparing for and assisting during audits to ensure compliance and accuracy
Advising on financial strategies for business expansion and scaling

Implementing accounting software and systems for efficient financial management
98% of small business owners report that their accountant enhances their confidence in their business, with nine out of ten saying that their accountant or bookkeeper contributes to the growth of their business. Notably, data also shows that 71% of small businesses outsource at least one accounting function.
Success Story
While the statistics speak for themselves, the following case study further showcases how accounting agencies are pivotal in propelling small businesses like yours to sustained growth:
Challenge: Workplace wearables company Kinetic faced significant financial management challenges as it scaled. After raising substantial funds during its seed funding, the company’s existing financial model and certified public accountant (CPA) services proved insufficient, prompting it to seek a more sophisticated financial management solution.
Solution: Graphite developed a tailored financial model for the company’s complex offering suite. Graphite also provided accounts payable and accounts receivable and prepared monthly report packages for both internal management and external stakeholders.
Results: With Graphite’s support, Kinetic gained control over its finances. As their business model evolved with the addition of insurance services, the outsourced solution offered flexibility and ensured proper financial reporting.

Success story
In exploring the significance of small business accountants, our experts selected the following case study that shows how Pilot aided Maev in implementing a structure that elevated their financial operations and oversight:
Challenge: As a solo founder of dog nutrition product line Maev, Katie handled product development, operations, marketing, and all financial tasks. After securing seed funding, Katie realized her self-managed approach to accounting hindered her ability to focus on growth, leading the small business owner to partner with Pilot.
Solution: As part of the service, Pilot provided fractional CFO services to assess the company’s growth and operational metrics. It provided tax, accounting, and bookkeeping services. Additionally, Pilot implemented a new inventory management system, streamlined bookkeeping in QuickBooks, and developed a robust KPI dashboard for the small business.
