JONES SIMKINS
About Us
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is to provide high-quality, timely accounting and consulting services to our clients. We regard our relationship with clients as a partnership in the true sense of the word, that is, a relationship whereby both parties benefit significantly from their association.
Jones Simkins is the largest local CPA firm in Logan and one of the largest CPA firms in Utah. The size of our firm is important to our clients for two reasons. First, as a local firm we are not too large, and therefore, the partners are the client’s main contact. This allows the partner to have an in-depth knowledge of client’s businesses and needs. Second, our firm is large enough to provide specialists in several disciplines including, but not limited to, accounting, auditing, corporate income tax, multi-state income tax, strategic tax planning, estate tax planning, and management advisory services (including internal controls and process management). In addition, our partners and professional staff have extensive knowledge of QuickBooks and other accounting software packages. QuickBooks is the primary software package used in the bookkeeping segment of our business and we consult extensively with clients and non-clients regarding the functions and operations of QuickBooks.
The cornerstone of our firm is knowledgeable people providing quality, timely services. We devote significant resources to training our people. All of our professionals have access to up-to-date and complete technical information (accounting and tax). We are committed to providing our professionals with computer technology tools to allow them to serve the client in the most efficient manner possible.
We believe the client comes first, and therefore, are committed to be accessible and available. We encourage periodic meetings between our firm and our clients in order to remain up-to-date with the their goals and objectives and the progress and direction of the client’s business. This allows us the ability to identify tax savings opportunities that may be available.
Jones Simkins provides the highest quality of professional accounting and advisory services through personnel who are committed to the profession and to the Firm’s clients and exceed the needs and expectations of our clients. The Firm serves clients with similar values such as trust, integrity, ambition and those that seek to be leaders in their industries. The Firm provides the best training for our employees to help them improve their personal performance and allow them to be the best in the industry. The Firm also provides our employees challenging work, exposure to clients and the industries in which they operate, compensation to match performance, and opportunities for long-term advancement. The Firm is an enjoyable work environment where learning and creativity is encouraged.
Why Jones Simkins?
PARTNERS AS THE MAIN CONTACT AND QUALITY FROM SPECIALISTS
Jones Simkins is one of the largest local CPA firms in Utah. This allows us to have partners as the clients’ main contact and to provide specialists in several disciplines including, but not limited to, auditing, corporate income tax, international income tax, estate tax planning, management advisory services, and computer systems.
The cornerstone of our firm is quality people providing quality, timely services. We devote significant resources to training our people, sending them to the best continuing education we can find. In addition, all of our professionals have access to up-to-date and complete technical information.
Our firm has historically experienced very little turnover. This means you can expect to work with the same service team each year rather than frequent changes.
PROFESSIONAL AND TIMELY SERVICE AT COMPETITIVE RATES
Jones Simkins has earned the reputation as a provider of quality and timely professional services at very reasonable rates. We are able to provide rates lower than you are typically used to because of our lower overhead costs. We then pass these savings on to our clients. Our fees are based on standard hourly rates, and we encourage open communication with our clients regarding these fees.
We don’t believe in surprises! That is why we encourage quarterly meetings between our firm personnel and our clients. Certain government agencies require companies to have quarterly meetings with their outside accountants. We believe that this makes good business sense and would like to have a member from our audit and tax department meet with you quarterly in order to remain up to date on your goals, objectives, and the progress and direction of the Company’s operations. We would plan to accomplish this as part of our quarterly financial statement review procedures.
