We have built our services around our commitment to care, competence, confidentiality, common sense & communications.

Care means that we want the best for our clients. Our first value is to make sure that your resources are used as you intend. Next,our analysis and efforts are directed to assure that your resources are used efficiently, and then we look for additional opportunities for your organization. Care also means that we always try to minimize any disruptions by scheduling meetings and information requests in advance, and asking only for pertinent information.

Competence means that although we perform auditing, tax and advisory services throughout the year, we don't take that extensive experience for granted. We complement it with continuing education throughout the year. We use in-house and outside seminars, videotapes and practice problems to do this. We also develop training programs that are used by our own staff and by CPAs in several states. We have the latest computer software and training so that we will be efficient in our audit work and report summarization.

Confidentiality means that we respect the privacy of our clients, and the confidential nature of the information we receive This is confirmed in our privacy policy.

Common Sense means that we plan and perform our work and develop our training to focus on the areas that will help us identify potential problems or opportunities for you.

Communication is important at Heveron & Heveron. We have regular training in listening and other communications skills, and we realize the importance of understanding your needs and operations, interpreting financial trends in a way that will help you identify appropriate actions, discussing our findings and recommendations before they are formalized in writing, and advising you about our schedule, procedures and needs, and about changes in tax, accounting or other requirements that may affect you, as soon as possible.
