What our people say

  • DAVID STIEFEL

    We're in the success business at Bader Martin. Naturally, we make sense of the numbers. But we see traditional accounting services as just the beginning of our work. For us, success happens when we go beyond debits and credits to get to the heart of our clients' needs.

  • KELLY NELSON

    We start our working relationship by listening. We get to know you well, to understand your needs and concerns, as well as the challenges and opportunities you face throughout the year. Together, we bring your goals into clear focus. Then we roll up our sleeves and get to work for you.

  • SUSAN QUEARY

    We give great advice at Bader Martin. But here, success is also in the relationships we build, because without a personal understanding of you and your goals, the most sophisticated advice is just, well… numbers.

  • ROBERT NICKLOS

    Some things you just have to do right the first time, or you risk locking in problems and limiting potential. That's where we come in.

  • RODNEY FUJITA

    At Bader Martin, you'll find professionals with the focused expertise, and the depth and breadth of experience, to contribute to your success. Nearly all of our principals have worked for national CPA firms — eleven years, on average — and some have also worked as senior executives in private and public companies.

SPECIALIZED AND INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC EXPERTISE
