We made the switch to Bradford and his team when we were looking for that "next level" accounting.   Our business was growing and we needed an overhaul.  I appreciate the efficiency, effectiveness, and attention to detail which is imperative in their field of work.  Communication and responsiveness are at the highest level.  Lastly, it's important to us in our business that we like and trust who we are working with.  We have that with Bradford and the team.
