Here's what our clients have to say
Mike Palmer is proof that it’s never too late to become an entrepreneur. He founded Raleigh financial advisory firm, Ark Royal Wealth Management, at age 50. It was a risk that paid off, and this month he shares with us his tips for success in advisory services.
"Three years ago, I decided I was ready to do it," said Mike Palmer, founder of Raleigh financial advisory firm, Ark Royal Wealth Management. "I had thought about starting my own firm for years, but I was reluctant because I had young kids and I just couldn’t take the leap."
Today, Mike says he wishes he would have made the decision sooner, but he isn’t too hard on himself. "In retrospect, I wouldn’t have gotten where I am without all the experience I’ve had. You have to come to that fork in the road at your own pace."
Mike Palmer - Ark Royal Wealth Management
"We will be approaching our 10th year in business this year. As a small business located in New York City, the most vital decision is choosing an accountant. Over the years, I’ve learned that this is not enough. An accountant needs to understand the mechanics of your business, get to know who you are and be concerned with your vision and financial goals, both professionally and personally. With Padgett, I have hired a vital team member, not just a firm that can do our tax returns."
Denise Bogan - CEO, Denton Cleaning LLC
"Padgett handles the monthly accounting for my small business as well as my personal tax returns, as they have for the past 8 years. Padgett prepares all my monthly financial statements, management reports, tax payments, account reconciliations and any business compliance issues that affect small business owners. We have a monthly meeting to discuss any business matters related to accounting, taxes and potential cost savings as well as company investments. [Padgett] is able to offer business insight that can often be overlooked by the business owner, who is wrapped up in the day-to-day operations. I could not expect better service or communication."
Jody Williams - President, Complete Chimney Service, Inc.
"I have been using Padgett Business Advisors Florence® for a number of years. My previous accountant had made a lot of mistakes with my business accounting. I have confidence that Padgett is a knowledgeable business partner and that my financial statements, payroll and taxes are correct. Padgett has also reduced the amount of paperwork I am responsible for. I am a working owner, and having less paperwork is a big plus. Padgett is a family-oriented business with a friendly demeanor. They know me by name and answer questions easily by phone or email. For peace of mind, I recommend Padgett."
Anita Auxer - Happy Tails Pet Grooming
"We have been clients of Padgett for the past 6 years, for both business and personal accounts. They also handle our payroll for 25 employees. The thing I most like in my relationship with Padgett is the ability to walk in the office and speak directly to the person handling my accounts. They are prompt in replying to my requests, and they make suggestions to save me time and money. My family members and some of my employees also use their services. They destroy the myth of 'boring, non-communicative accountants."
Bob Sutton - Owner, TCBY of Chapel Hill and Durham
