blum has provided complex audit, tax, consulting and fraud assessment services for Conval, Inc., for over ten years.

They have become our trusted business advisors, assisting us in choosing specialty resources, programs, and even assisting Conval with the implementation of new systems.

- Christopher Schweitzer, CFO, Conval

Our company was faced with the daunting task of integrating our process, customer service, accounting, sales, and operational metrics into a single platform that could capture data from multiple sources and transform it into actionable information. We selected blum from a field of eight competing companies for this task. Their Business Enterprise Review (BER) process, their willingness to work in stages without commitments beyond each stage, and their experience in similarly entrepreneurial settings were keys to our selection of them as our vendor.
