RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

They do tax efficiency really well. They’re great at how to structure your company’s inputs and outputs to maximize profitability.

How did Big Bay Group perform from a project management standpoint?

I wouldn’t take on someone from elsewhere— I like their face-to-face meetings. They’re communicative and flexible — if I have a question they’re available for a meeting then and there. They’re quite accessible.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They handle the mundane tasks and the compliance well, especially if you don’t come from a financial world. We have an inefficient system for administrative tasks that they took off our hands.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they handle everything well. It’s tough to critique them,.
