Only two things about Peterson Sullivan have changed since then: reach and depth. The firm is still the proud bearer of its founders’ names and values. But our Directors and Associates now advise private, closely-held, public, and non-profit clients in hundreds of enterprises, representing dozens of industries from Alaska to California.

Many CPA firms provide and teach their clients to expect a laundry list of services. This is not the way we work. At Peterson Sullivan we always think in terms of how we can best serve a client’s long-term business interests; our services are always a part of that larger vision.

Clear and frequent communication is the cornerstone of our client relationships. We like to commit to regular meetings through the year and we strongly encourage our clients to call us whenever they have a question or concern.

Because a good accountant should remove financial uncertainty, not produce it, our fee quotes are always our thoughtful best estimate and they always include all anticipated costs.

Peterson Sullivan is registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and is a member of  The International Accounting Group (TIAG), an international network of high-quality accounting firms and law firms with a presence in 90 countries. We are also an independent firm associated with the North American region of Moore Stephens International Limited, an association that connects us to other knowledgeable accounting professionals in nearly 100 countries.

We know the region, we have world-class technical expertise, and we pride ourselves on building close, long-term client relationships.

Everything seems to have changed over the last fifty years—except the need for excellent business advice and financial oversight. Maybe Packard and Studebaker should have come to us.
