Our Best Credential: Satisfied Clients

At BKD, we are committed to delivering results with integrity: results that are unquestionably ethical, practical, timely and affordable. When we do that consistently, experience tells us you and BKD will have a lasting business advisor relationship. Our best credential, of course, is a satisfied client. Our clients are our greatest ambassadors, and we’re proud to let them speak for us.

“We switched our audit and tax work from a Big Four firm after we became comfortable with BKD’s performance on several special projects. We realized the name of our auditor was not particularly important to us as long as we received equal or greater value. Tax, on the other hand, was a sensitive issue for us, and we needed assurance that our tax preparation firm could adequately meet our needs. We’ve found BKD’s service to be very responsive, its price reasonable and the quality of its work to meet our expectations.”

About American Trim

American Trim, headquartered in Lima, Ohio, is a privately held, family-owned company that got its start in 1951 as a tool and die shop. With sales of $240 million, the company has become a world-class producer of metal and plastic parts for the appliance, automotive, sports and other industries. American Trim first "tested" BKD’s service and expertise by having the firm audit its employee benefit plans and then assist with its conversion from a C corporation to an S corporation. Since becoming the firm’s accountant, BKD has helped American Trim document research and process activities that qualify for approximately $1.4 million in federal research and innovation tax credits.
