As a new appointed CEO for a Non-Profit Organization, Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council (“SPLC”), I have been very impressed with the team at Astute. Astute has been instrumental in transforming inefficient Accounting practices and systems from a prior firm to making it dynamic systems, implementing key processes and controls to mitigate risks and transparency in Finance and Operations for SPLC. The Astute team has very quick brought SPLC up to speed with cloud-based Accounting, document repository systems and Financial controls while reducing costs and redundancies.

As the entire world was hit with Pandemic, Astute came in for rescue and quicky adapted to SPLC’s new way of showcasing virtual conference. Astute team understood the needs and short fall of revenues and assisted SPLC to bring in additional funds through Government initiated programs (PPP & EIDL) to sustain operations.

Bench-Tek designs and manufactures custom workbenches for industries that span many sectors for over 16 years. Only last year did we find out that Bench-Tek’s customized designs and projects would qualify for R&D tax credit. An initial study was performed in 2019 by a firm which created more confusions in our mind than solutions for Bench-Tek. Upon engaging ASTUTE for performing 2020 R&D tax credit study, we not only understand the processes, but it gave us tools and insight on how we can better plan for future R&D costs.

ASTUTE’s team of professionals brought a wealth of experience into the R&D Tax Credit process and were very open and responsive to all our queries. Due to their intuitive, interactive approach they identified sizeable R&D credits for us with complete supporting documentation.

The ASTUTE team is AMAZING! They continuously exceed our expectations, and we are proud to recommend them for all R&D tax credit services. ASTUTE is much more than an accounting firm; it’s a relationship.

MODE has been working with Astute for just about a year now – it’s the best strategic decision I have made as an owner/ founder of my company. With Astute’s guidance, I have a clear picture of moving MODE forward – it’s a picture based on MODE’s history, facts, and reasonable assumptions. I highly recommend their Fractional CFO services.
