We have been working with SMD Consulting for about a year. They have been an absolute game changer for our finances. They have kept us organized through multiple entities, have saved us THOUSANDS with savvy tax planning and effective strategies, and are just a pleasure to work with. Jason Doddridge is our consultant, we meet with him monthly and I cant say enough great things about him. Hes so smart, organized, and makes our strategic planning feel smooth and seamless. We would highly recommend the team at SMD Consulting if youre growing your businesses and net worth, and need experts to help you navigate the complexities of that.

My partner Parker and I are in the beginning stages of starting a business so were doing as much research as possible to ensure that we cover all our bases. With that, we knew that at some point we would need assistance with tax filings and accounting along the way. We scheduled a meeting with Sean and were extremely impressed with the knowledge and information that he had ready for us on our first call. Not only that, but that was probably the least pushy sales call that Ive ever been apart of. He was willing to give us advice as newcomers and was open and honest about the steps we should take just starting out. Hands down this is the company you want to work with. Theyre knowledgeable, efficient, and go above and beyond to help their clients, which just arent characteristics you tend to see in the fields they shine in.

Led by the visionary Sean Duncan and his exceptional team, SMD stands out as a paragon of proactive client support. What sets SMD apart isn t just their expertise in tax reduction or their expertise in business growth strategies it s their unwavering commitment to every facet of their clients financial well-being. From exit planning to asset protection, they re not just scratching the surface; they re digging deep, uncovering hidden potentials, and guiding their clients towards unprecedented success. For self-employed physicians, software developers, and business owners alike, SMD isn t just a CPA firm; it s a trusted ally on the journey to financial empowerment. I ve had the privilege of witnessing their transformative impact firsthand, and it s nothing short of awe-inspiring.

SMD Consulting, specifically Joel Salas, was integral in consulting us on our organizational structure, development, key accounting, and key tax practices and strategies to help us launch our businesses as a full time venture. Joel knew how to roll out new concepts to us in just the right dosage so that we werent overwhelmed with all that needed to be done. He was always available for answering questions and explaining concepts clearly. Joel is wonderful to work with and we always ended our calls with new insight and takeaways.

We consulted with SMD for guidance regarding business setup and structure. I found Sean to be very knowledgeable and helpful in providing a personalized approach in outlining scenarios for us to make informative decisions. Most importantly he was openly candid in providing strategies and options that were in our best interest. This company also uniquely provides innovative financial services compared to traditional accounting businesses, and I highly recommend checking them out!

I have been working specifically with Larry and Leslie for over a year now. They are proficient at their jobs and are always there when I have questions. As a business owner, it is nice to know that when it comes to the financial side of my business, I am well taken care of. In fact, I have learned a lot from these two as well. You cant go wrong with SMD Consulting!

My wife and I have been familiar with the excellent service level and reputation of SMD for years so it was an easy selection when we were seeking guidance on a business acquisition. The team, led by Larry West, did an outstanding job of providing tax guidance, projections, legal coordination, financial review, etc during our engagement. They were always very professional, responsive and had great communication. We had a tight timeline and they were there for us to make sure we met the deadline which we did! If we had to do it all over again, we would use SMD without hesitation. Thank you Sean, Larry and team for all of your professional expertise! We look forward to working with you again.

Sean and his team are top notch CPAs and consultants. They focus more on business consulting, though obviously taxes play an important role in that. They are very responsive and stay up to date with everything (particularly the fast paced changes related to the various business relief options associated with the COVID-19 issue currently going on). I would have no hesitancy in recommending Sean and his team to anyone looking for a solid business partner.

My experience with SMD Consulting and Accounting, and specifically Darius Fudge, has been nothing short of remarkable. His approach, knowledge, and patience are what set him apart. After working with Darius my business has a more defined focus and vision, not to mention my personal life. His holistic strategies helped to identify holes, answer problems, and mitigate future risk. In an on demand world, Darius never disappointed with timely responses to emails and phone calls. Darius was also a wealth of knowledge in connecting me with other professionals to help make my vision a reality. If you are looking to organize your business, and create a strong foundation for the future, regardless of how long you have been in business, SMD and Darius Fudge are the answer.

Our medical practice accounting/bookkeeping firm gave us one week notice that they would not have the personnel to service our practice. That was bad enough, but it occurred when we were having issues that needed eagle-eye attention. Based on a recommendation, I called Sean at SMD Consulting and Accounting. Though his firm was exceedingly busy, he listened to our issues, understood our dire need for continuity of care and made sure that he and his staff were available and paid utmost attention to our account. I could not have asked for more. Now, the staff of SMD, including Leslie and Larry have set up systems to help us remain financially solid in the present and to plan into the future. We are very happy with our choice and believe that SMD will help to improve upon our practice s successes.

My company is entering its seventh year in which we have relied on our CPA to keep our business operating smoothly. After a couple of years in which we had nothing but issues with our books and filings, SMD Consulting has been absolutely amazing. They oversee our monthly bookkeeping and handle all of our tax reporting and we have been treated very well and have not had to deal with a single issue since engaging them to help us. I am so grateful for Sean and his colleagues at SMD. They also handle some of my personal matters and I highly recommend them for business and personal needs

No only does my firm use SMD, but we have also refer all of our clients to them. TVG is an Investment Banking Firm and there is a tremendous need for strategic tax planning upon sale and SMD has provided amazing plans for real tax savings. Also, my firm uses SMD to provide tax planning consulting services throughout the year that not only saves me on taxes but keeps me in compliance. I highly recommend their services for any business.

I am so impressed with the knowledge that Sean Duncan and his entire staff have. I have worked with them on several occasion and know them to truly take an interest in their clients and ask questions that allow them to uncover opportunities, savings strategies and deductions that other professionals might have missed. You will not find a better CPA in the area!

SMD has been a great asset to my company. The advice given to me by the people at SMD has been vital to the growth of my company. During tax prep they communicate extremely well to me about what to expect and what I need to do. I also have Leslie manage my books to keep everything in order, giving me more time to spend on my company and family.
