Our Mission
Our objective is to provide quality accounting, tax and management advisory services to our clients. All accounting firms provide essentially the same kinds of services; each enjoying a large and diverse clientele. Most of us can point to an impressive record of growth. On a closer examination, however, there are some significant differences. The quality of services rendered to each of its clients depends most importantly on local resources, i.e., the quality of the people, their approach to client service, and the technical and other support capabilities available to them locally, all of which will be brought to bear in serving that particular client.
Our Values
At Ford Black,LLC. we pride ourselves on our local resources that are available in serving a client. We strive to develop business-minded professionals that generate a healthy attitude towards, and an interest in, our clients’ businesses. We do not strive to departmentalize nor specialize in a specific area, rather we feel a general tax, consulting and accounting background generates a healthy, questioning and creative attitude. In essence, a well-rounded professional is more efficient, and generally more effective, than three specialists due to the limitation of effort duplication.
