I have no worries about how our clients will get serviced in the future with Sareen and Associates. I’ve seen a lot in my years in this business, and they are top-notch. It definitely makes the exit as owner easier.”

Arun Sareen, president of Sareen and Associates, stated, “We are always looking to increase both our client base and our geographic footprint within the United States, but it has to be a partner that shares our commitment to excellent service, and the same level of professional competencies we have developed over 25 years of providing tax, accounting, payroll and business consulting to our small business clients. I’m happy to say we found that professional services firm in Howser and Associates Ltd., and we couldn’t be more delighted with this union.

Mr. Sareen also commented, “It’s been apparent to us here at Sareen and Associates for some time that there are many, many accounting and tax firms that were started some time ago, and are still making money, but that now have difficulty meeting the current high bar of capital investment and technology expertise required to effectively compete in today’s fast-moving, hyper-competitive environment. They do an honest assessment of their ability to continue to stay competitive going forward, and they come to us for a solution that benefits both firms. We have the capital to keep investing in the acquired business, the expertise to integrate and manage the business from an operational perspective, and, the familiarity with technology platforms and user technology to offer all our clients the best experience possible in terms of accounting, payroll and tax work.”
