Our extensive knowledge comes from team members’ years of experience with all aspects of the construction industry, focused continuing education and successful consulting with similar businesses.
We have a solid commitment to the construction industry and know it's about a lot more than just the debits and credits. Through our team members’ active involvement in industry organizations, we obtain a real understanding of the key issues that affect your business. In addition to traditional services, we focus on providing value-added services to improve systems and controls, identify key performance indicators, set benchmarks and develop performance-based incentive compensation plans and business succession plans.

“Our business has grown, and we needed our accounting firm to be more involved in our business. We went with Somerset five years ago and after the first year, I said choosing Somerset was one of the best business decisions I’ve made. Our business is complicated, but they got up to speed very quickly.”
