It is comforting to know that we have a dedicated, knowledgeable team of professionals that can assist us in an array of business issues including financial reporting, banking, tax matters, technology issues and ideas to assist growth. For any issue that arises, Janet and Stan’s teams are only a phone call away and I have taken advantage of that on numerous occasions. I have found that through blum, I have access to a wealth of general business experience and a network of domestic and international advisors on the most complicated of issues.

- L. Stephen Prout, President, Alpha Q

Colt selected blum as its audit firm based on several criteria, which included blum’s knowledge of the manufacturing industry and related accounting concepts, blum’s ability to bring Big Four trained partners to the Colt account to maintain a level of rigor, blum’s office proximity to Colt—allowing for ease of communication and relationship building, and blum’s commitment to Colt to provide the resources necessary to meet Colt’s reporting deadlines.

- Martin Newton, Chief Financial Officer, Colt

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.

- Russell Hoehn, Parallel Products

The blum team members are passionate about assisting us in our quest for continued growth and success. It is blum's people that truly differentiate them from the rest.

- Gary Doster, CFO, The Belknap White Group
