FC Tucker Emge Realtors - “Harding, Shymanski & Company has been a key business partner for F.C. Tucker Emge Realtors for over 21 years.  Their expertise, knowledge, and care for our business have made HSC an invaluable partner. Through our significant mergers, HSC has managed the transition from start to finish. HSC helped us consolidate our payroll management, 401K administration, tax planning and financial preparation within one full service accounting firm. As our business has grown, they’ve been there every step of the way.


HSC has encouraged us to use off the shelf products when it makes sense for our business, showing they are focused on what’s best for us as a client, not simply a paying customer. To accommodate our needs, they specifically tailored their accounting software to manage our real estate transactions. 

Finally, our partners at HSC are responsive and delightful to work with. With dedicated experts in each area, they are there to answer questions quickly and accurately. We would recommend Harding, Shymanski & Company to anyone looking for a full service accounting firm.” - Kevin Eastridge, Kathy Briscoe

Sterling Boiler - “It is very clear that we made the right decision when we chose Harding, Shymanski & Company as our accounting firm over 15 years ago.  It is unfair to call HSC “just our accounting firm” because they are so much more than that.  They are our trusted business consultants.  Our entire HSC team has and continues to be an invaluable sounding board and resource as we address our ever increasing needs.

 

In our line of business, as with most, having the right tools and qualified people in place to do the job is a must; and HSC has proved time and again they have both.  They have the resources and talented client service professionals to help our company to continue to grow.  Because they have a team of construction industry experts, HSC not only understands the issues we face as contractors, but they are also committed to being at the forefront providing solutions to tax and accounting issues as they arise.  They also provide us with the best industries practices.

 

HSC has helped Sterling Boiler grow our company, and continues to provide us with the knowledge and experience in order for us to plan and control future growth.” - Dan Felker

Sterling Boiler - “One of the things that attracted me to HSC was their knowledge and involvement in the construction industry and their ability to understand the contractors problems and offer solutions for both the home office and the field offices due to their network of other accounting firms and experiences with other contractors. HSC is more than an accounting firm to us they have in many ways become a partner in helping us to manage ourselves and our projects.” – Dan Felker

Raben Tire Company, Inc. - "When our father and founder of Raben Tire Company, Butch Raben, passed away in 1972, the young Company’s future was placed in the hands of our mother, Evelyn Raben, and her young sons. As we started to grow, we quickly saw the increased need for financial, tax and planning ideas. We turned to Harding, Shymanski & Company in the 1970’s and established a relationship with one of the founding partners, Al Harding, Jr. He and the firm quickly became one of our trusted advisors and have been part of our many business decisions over these past 30 plus years.

  

During our relationship with the firm, we have worked with a vast array of highly-qualified individuals. Our relationship with them has outlived partner retirements as they always seem to have the resources in place to continue to provide us with expertise and continuity of service that we have come to expect from them. 

 

Having 32 locations and over 500 employees in five states, our needs have and will continue to grow. Our confidence in Harding, Shymanski, for example, has allowed us to outsource our payroll processing to them. We felt it critical to have the tax knowledge of a multi-state operation and the necessary backups in place for the unforeseen circumstances that can occur. This is just one of many examples how we team up with Harding Shymanski on practically a daily basis. 

 

We look forward to our continued relationship with Harding Shymanski. We know they will do whatever it takes to meet our needs as our Company continues to grow and expand.” - Tom Raben, President

Jasper Engines & Transmissions - “When we needed to change auditing firms, Harding, Shymanski was very responsive. We called on a Friday and they were on site the next business day. After engaging HSC, they worked with our team to substantially increase the efficiency of our accounting processes which resulted in reducing the turn around time for year-end financial statements by over 2 months. In addition, they facilitated our Lean Office initiative which resulted in substantial savings to the company." - Doug Bawel, President & CEO

Republic Industries International, Inc. - "Our company decided to switch our payroll service provider to Harding, Shymanski & Company (HSC) after many years with [a large national payroll processor]. There were several reasons for making the change, not the least of which was our need to have our payroll service actually understand payroll taxes and how they relate to the needs of our company.

The staff at HSC made converting to the new system as easy as possible. The new payroll system is easy to use, and the staff worked with us to design reports tailored to our needs that will save us a great deal of time in the future. It is also very nice to have one person that we can call if we have a question, instead of speaking with a different person each time we contacted our other payroll service. We are very happy with our decision to make the change, and would highly recommend HSC’s payroll services." - Michael Walling, Controller

We found ourselves at a cross-roads of trying to determine a successful strategy for the business and finding ways to build upon the many successes we had already experienced…we knew we needed guidance to achieve future success...we have even switched our audit and tax services to HSC! I would highly recommend HSC for all your consulting, audit and tax needs.” – Greg Koberstein, CEO

During our search, Harding, Shymanski and Company (HSC) came very highly recommended to us from our bank as well as others in the community.  From the outset of our relationship, Scott Olinger and the HSC team have consistently outperformed our expectations.  From assistance with strategic planning to representing us during a tax audit, their insight has both saved us money and helped make our business even more successful.

We have found Harding, Shymanski and Company to be extremely proactive and there to give us advice, even in advance.  They are more than just an accounting firm...they are our Trusted Advisor.”

ProRehab, PC – "We have been working with Harding Shymanski & Company, PSC for about 14 months and have found their service delivery to be very timely, proactive and accurate.  The fact that they are a larger local firm gives them the specialized services and depth in their staff to be able to deliver timely monthly financial statements year round – even during the busy tax season!  The fact that they are local allows them to be very proactive and they have even worked with us onsite at our offices on many occasions when that seemed to be a more efficient approach to delivering their service.  HSC has also been very helpful in giving us quickbooks accounting assistance and quickbooks training that has allowed us to become more efficient with our internal bookkeeping processes and procedures.  We would recommend any company looking to hire an accounting firm to consider HSC in their search." – Andrea Baumann, COO

Luckett & Farley – “Last year, with great apprehension having been with the same CPA firm for 20 years, we made the switch to Harding & Shymanski.  It was a surprisingly smooth transition even with all the additional work getting them up to speed on Luckett & Farley.  The audit and tax team assigned to us were extremely knowledgeable, efficient and even fun!  I never thought I would use the word "fun" in the context of an audit, but it was.  These bright, young professionals are as personable as they are knowledgeable.  It was a pleasure working with them and will be as we continue this relationship.  Beyond the audits and tax filings, consultations with Scott Olinger and his group have been very informative and the seminars they present are top notch.  We look forward to many more years of their expert and timely service.”Gail Miller, VP, Manager, Finance

Luckett & Farley - "Everyone I've dealt with at Harding since making the switch from (our previous firm) has been professional, informing and "fun."  When I say "fun," it's so freshing to work with people that can put their heads down and get the job done but find a moment from time to time to laugh as well.  As a consequence, the audits in particular, are not so dreaded each year as they were in the past.  In addition, someone is always available!  Whether I have a simple question or a major undertaking, there's always someone to help me.  Either by phone, email or in person if needed.  Service is outstanding.  I could go on and on, but, I really think this says it all.  Great people and outstanding service." - Gail Miller, Vice President

Our relationship with HSC has been a key asset in achieving this growth.  They have provided innovative ideas in tax strategies, operations, and succession and estate planning.  They guided us through our first ISO certification and share the same values as stated in our Vision and Mission statements.  HSC serves with a 'client first' attitude." - David Patterson, President

Flanders Electric Company – "I can see a lot better efficiency in tracking parts, tracking jobs, workflow, storage of parts, availability of equipment and tools.
