Many of our clients rely on having the same resources available to them because it reflects a commitment to their organization and a deeper understanding of what their organization is trying to achieve. Our staff builds a relationship based upon integrity, trust, and mutual respect, which is a primary reason that we maintain long-term professional relationships. In assigning staff to engagements, we place high importance on maintaining continuity of staff from one year to the next. This is important from both a client service as well as an engagement efficiency perspective. As our staff gains familiarity with a client, they are able to complete the engagement more efficiently and are able to identify recommendations for improvement within our client's operations. As with any accounting firm, it may become necessary to replace a member of the engagement team. When this occurs they are replaced with someone of at least comparable skills and experience. Additionally, we understand that the City retains the right to approve or reject replacements or cancel the contract with written permission. While we strive to maintain continuity, the turnover that is inherent in today's environment provides for staff rotation and the additional benefit of a fresh approach. We have been very successful over the years in appropriately staffing our jobs and this has resulted in high client retention rates and tremendous growth for the firm. We affirm that approval will be sought from the City prior to any substitution of staff associated with your engagement. 611
