About Kosler & Company, S.C.
The accounting world is full of CPAs who have learned their trade and who know how to handle financial statements. But as any business owner will tell you, there’s a lot more to business than the numbers.
The certified public accounting firm of Kosler & Company, S.C., understands very well that accounting is just one element of business. That understanding helps the firm give a higher level of service to its clients in the areas of accounting, auditing, compliancy, taxes, financial planning and management.
“Not many accountants can say to a business owner, ‘I have been in your shoes,’” notes Tom Kosler, president of Kosler & Company, S.C. “But I can say that; I started my own company and have gone through all the issues business owners face on a day-to-day basis.”
Kosler founded the company in 1982 after serving with a large international firm and a small CPA firm. His more than 20 years of business ownership have given him a keen understanding of what it takes to run a successful company. He and his associates use that understanding to help Kosler & Company, S.C., clients run their companies better.
“Because of our business experience, we take a very practical approach to solving all of our clients’ business challenges,” Kosler says. “We are a sounding board for them. We are good business men and women, not just accounting technicians who can work their business numbers.”
Kosler & Company, S.C., clients appreciate that wisdom, which is shared at a level other CPA firms don’t offer. While Kosler & Company, S.C., is large enough to offer a full slate of accounting and financial services for privately held businesses and their owners, the company is small enough to give its clients personalized attention.
“When we hear from business people who are dissatisfied with their accounting firms, one of the things we hear is that they do not feel they are getting the attention they deserve,” Kosler said.
“We, on the other hand, take a proactive approach and pay attention to our clients. And we are timely when providing our clients with information that could affect their businesses.”
Kosler and Company associates continually review technical briefings and highlight that items might pertain to a client. They then contact those clients to inform them of the issues.
But it’s not just when something arises that Kosler & Company associates contact their clients. “We regularly check in with clients just to see how they are doing,” Kosler says. “That’s part of our effort to fully understand their business operations and to be proactive with business rather than reactive. When you are proactive, you can often stave off problems before they arise, or minimize their impact.”
When a Kosler & Company associate can’t resolve an issue, the firm can recommend a third party that could help. Kosler & Company, S.C., is well connected in the business community, and belongs to groups such as the Summit Group of business and management advisors – a Wisconsin-based group of experts in various areas of business.
Kosler & Company associates not only update their knowledge through regular monitoring of business information sources, they also engage in a high level of professional development. “We surpass the minimum professional development requirements by, normally, 50 percent,” Kosler said.
The result is a CPA, financial services and management advisory firm that can offer a comprehensive view of the business world with a personalized approach.
Kosler & Company, S.C., is a full-service certified public accounting firm offering a high level of personal attention to our clients. Since our founding in 1982, we have provided high-quality auditing, accounting, income tax, financial planning and management advisory services to closely held business clients and their owners. Those services are provided in an accurate, timely and professional manner – from the perspective that our clients are our business partners.
