Testimonials

"As the COVID-19 pandemic began, Coastal Opportunities saw a change in its longstanding leadership team. Despite a new Executive Director and a new Business Manager arriving just as the yearly audit cycle began, BerryDunn adjusted to make the process smooth and manageable for all. The importance of relationship building, coupled with a deep understanding of the work that we do at Coastal Opportunities, ensured an efficient and successful experience."
Cliff Winn
Executive Director
Coastal Opportunities
Our partnership with BerryDunn began in 2014. After many years with the same auditing firm I was apprehensive changing firms until I met Sarah Belliveau and Tammy Michaud. Sarah and Tammy met with me to learn my vision for the relationship. Their approach is to educate and work as a team with clients. I like that my opinion matters and we can discuss issues/solutions together. When questions or issues arise the BerryDunn team is always available to guide or participate in a discussion with me. Our partnership has improved my knowledge base and our organization has strengthened its internal controls. I am grateful to all the staff at BerryDunn for their professionalism, dedication and knowledge.

"Switching audit firms can be a daunting task. As a first-time client, I was impressed by the way BerryDunn's audit team listened to our needs and quickly learned our organization's operating norms. They were supportive and respectful and were always there to answer any questions we had. I've worked with many firms in the past, and I really appreciated their focus on providing education to our leadership and board. We're very pleased with the work and would welcome the opportunity to work with BerryDunn in the future."
