As a small non-profit, hiring CLA was a big decision for us. I am thrilled to say we have been so pleased with our decision! We needed help with grant reporting and some financial management as a growing youth serving agency and our service accountant, Cheryl, has been a lifesaver! She is knowledgeable, always helpful, responds quickly to my questions and is easily accessible whenever I need her. The rate is more than reasonable and we are glad to have taken this leap to hire some assistance, and would certainly recommend CLA to colleagues (and we have!)
We started a transition to CLA in March of 2020 when our in office controller decided to retire and I can not explain how amazing our transition has been. The CLA staff are talented, professional and amazing to work with. Brandie and Milo have been patient in explaining and teaching new process and systems. An amazing group to work with!
CLA has taken over the accounting function for us and they have done an amazing job. They are on-time, courteous, responsive, and accurate. Their services have taken a load off our shoulders at a very reasonable price and allowed us to focus on the most important aspect of our mission - serving vulnerable neighbors.
CLA attracts amazing people, and working with a group who is prompt, professional, and exceptionally capable is a surprising joy. Who knew you could love your accounting team?!? CLA acts as our fractional accounting department, and everything from the transfer of years of data to the details of local personal property taxes, CLA doesnt miss a trick. They saved me 15 hours a week of bookkeeping -- what could you do with that kind of extra time in your own business?
After our long-time, in-house bookkeeper resigned, we were fortunate to find CLA in Albuquerque to handle our small business’s needs. Although CLA is a large national company, their people in Albuquerque are set up to work closely with small, local businesses. Mandy Connell, our point person at CLA, made the transition from desk-top, paper-driven bookkeeping to on-line, paperless systems seem easy. The inevitable glitches during the transition were taken care of immediately and our business was able to continue smoothly. We really appreciate the personal, efficient service we’ve received from Mandy and the CLA team!
As business and personal clients of CLA, we have been extremely satisfied with their services. We take advantage of their payroll service, bookkeeping service, 401K plan and corporate and personal tax preparation. We value the role they play and feel they are more of an extension of our company team. They are experts in their field and true professionals, all while being caring and attentive to our needs and concerns. We are proud to be CLA clients and value the professional relationship we have with them.
CLA has been a valuable partner to my company. They are a proactive, intelligent and dependable group of professionals. They do a very good job holding themselves accountable to their responsibilities. I would highly recommend them to any person or business seeking their services.
CLA has continued to provide excellent service during our annual audit with a level of expertise and professionalism that is a credit to the firm. Their support has extended beyond the audit, by being available throughout the year to address questions, provide support with policies and procedures, and offer guidance as needed. Their responsiveness shows their commitment to help nonprofits. CLA’s team has assisted us in fulfilling our mission and pledge to the community through solid financial accountability and transparency.
CLA has provided high quality and reliable services for our companies. They have provided invaluable support and advice all through the COVID pandemic. And provided excellent tax services in preparing our complicated taxes. I am glad that I can focus on running the business with CLA taking care of our accounting needs.
I am the COO for Resilient Solutions 21 (RS21), which is located in Albuquerque, NM. We are EXTREMELY pleased with the services that the ABQ CLA office has provided us for the past 3 years, led by Jessa Huybrechts. Jessa and her team go above and beyond the call of duty and are true professionals. We greatly appreciate their attention to detail, responsiveness, and the variety of services they provide us. We highly recommend them to all.
I used CLA Albuquerque recently to convert from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online for the nonprofit organization I work with. They were extremely professional and attentive to my needs. I highly recommend them. The transfer was seamless and accurate. They provided a quality service.
CLA has been a great accounting firm to work with. They work well with all of our other vendors such as auditing, payroll and governmental reporting agencies. They are responsive and provide guidance when asked. Thank you for your service to our organization.
As CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central New Mexico, we have been partnered with CLA for nearly a decade. They provide outstanding services, to manage our accounts and assist with audits. Their professional team is a part of our family, and their high standards and ethical practices are an excellent fit for our needs and mission. CLA manages our QuickBooks Online, and ensures efficiencies and quality control are in place to manage our financial records and processes. In addition, CLA is a dedicated member of our volunteer community, contributing C-Suite and other staff to help with our NPO efforts. I highly recommend CLA to any NPO seeking professional financial services.
Cant say enough good things about CLA. Great people, great service.
Although they had done a fairly good job for our company in the past, this past tax season (2018 returns) has proven to be too complex for them. After filing an extension for both corporate and individual returns they made some significant mistakes on estimated tax payments which in turn resulted in significant penalties by the time the mistakes were caught 6 months later. I still believe they could handle smaller companies just fine but larger companies might want to look elsewhere.
