2020 Best of Accounting Announcement
Smith Schafer is excited to announce we are one of 40 firms across the country recognized with ClearlyRated’s 2020 Best of Accounting Award for providing superior service. Best of Accounting Award winners have proven themselves as industry leaders in service quality based entirely on ratings provided by their clients.
With its most recent client satisfaction survey, Smith Schafer received a Net Promoter®️ Score (NPS) of 84. NPS is used by more than two-thirds of Fortune 1000 companies for measuring client satisfaction and is based on a single survey question that asks clients how likely they are to recommend a business to a friend or colleague. According to global NPS standards, an NPS score of 50+ is considered excellent, with above 70 considered “world-class.” The accounting industry average was 24% in 2019.
Smith Schafer received satisfaction scores of 9 or 10 out of 10 from 87.3% of their clients, significantly higher than the industry’s average of 45% in 2019.
“We work hard to make service a top priority, and place importance on every client we serve. We are proud to be recognized for our efforts by our clients and by ClearlyRated,” Smith Schafer’s Managing Principal, Steve Erchul said.
On average, clients of 2020 Best of Accounting winners are 1.9x more likely to be satisfied than those who work with non-winning firms.
