The people. They are very knowledgeable and quick to respond when issues arise. Jim Yard and the staff out of Pittsburg have been very helpful in the areas of IT Auditing, Mortgage Company Operations, and Wealth Management. They are very prompt in returning our calls and providing support when needed.
–Rick Gant
, United Bank
The past year has been the perfect example of what I like best about Schneider Downs. In addition to our recurring annual corporate audit, tax compliance, and employee benefit plan audit / TPA services, SD&Co has provided us with cyber security consulting, breach response, lease accounting software and implementation, and estate valuation services. It is great to know that with a call to one of our primary relationship contacts, we can quickly and confidently be placed in the hands of an expert in any number of financial-related services. Communication and consistency within all SD&Co. service offerings is fantastic!!!

Jim Yard, Jessica Miller and team are first class in everything they do. They are a wealth of experience and knowledge and share that expertise with our Management team and Board. I have worked with numerous firms in my 25+ career and Schneider Downs is the best when it comes to communication, transparency and high-quality work product. We could not be happier with our relationship, and they are a source of strength in our overall risk management framework.
