Partner accountability
Why the active client roster stays capped
Eighty clients. Two partners reading every return.
Large regional firms run on leverage: one partner signs four hundred returns while junior staff do the arithmetic. When an owner calls with an equipment financing question or a nexus problem, the callback comes three days later from someone who has not opened the ledger.
We keep the active business roster under ninety companies. That is what makes it possible for Sarah Alder and David Quinn to be personally in your numbers, familiar with your ownership agreement, and reachable the week a transaction or an audit letter actually lands.
