Celebrating their 35th anniversary in business,

Al Sannerud founded the business in 1974, after
working in corporate accounting for many years. His
philosophy for operating a successful business was
"showing a genuine interest in each client is the
hallmark of our business." Managing Partner Susan Savarese, CPA got involved in this type of business
because she enjoys working with people, educating
people, and helping them achieve their goals. Al
gradually removed himself from the operations of the
company with Susan and Pauline Mittelstaedt, Firm
Administrator, taking over the company during the
1990s.
The firm currently has 11 employees, who have
many years of experience. All of their accounts have
a main accountant assigned to them, as well as a
back-up. Susan said the employees are the reason for
the company's success; holding themselves to the
highest corporate standards, and offering a warm,
family atmosphere. The company also believes in
taking care of its employees, and provides lunch for
all employees on Fridays and dinner one night a week
during the busy tax season.
Approximately 90 to 95 percent of the company's
business is based on referrals from satisfied
customers. What makes this business unique, is the
employees focus on building relationships with their
clients to understand and support their business and
individual goals, and create financial independence.
The firm also offers in-house seminars at no
charge to their clients and guests on a wide range
of topics. They also stay active in the areas they
serve by joining local chambers, and supporting
various community organizations.
