Allen's knowledge of dentistry from both a practical and a business standpoint makes him incomparable as a dental CPA. He has helped me make my practice what it is today. I not only consider him as one of my advisors, but I also consider him as a friend.

We have been associated with Allen Schiff and his accounting team for a number of years now, and although we have used other firms in the past, we have never been more satisfied. Not only do we have a competent accountant now, but we have gained a practice management team as well.

The very first time we got together I felt that you had my best interests forefront in your mind. I knew that you had many more clients that you had been working with longer, or had bigger and better numbers but you made me feel important and special with the nuances of my practice. You made tough recommendations that required tough decisions on my part. The right decisions with monumental and positive outcomes. Allen, you have your finger on the financial pulse of hundreds of practices and that knowledge you freely share with me. Of course you protect your other clients private affairs but I feel that I have access to the big picture . The surveys are invaluable. The fee schedules and the demographics are the edge that keeps me on top of the insurance companies. You are my biggest cheerleader to keep my practice PURELY fee for service, not because it is easy but because it is my financial best interest. Without your advice while you were with Grabush and Newman but with Smart and Assoc. I wouldn't be as successful as I am today. You are my Blair-McGill and my Roger Levin all rolled into one. Probably better, because you approach my practice as a business not as a tooth machine. I know teeth and how to make them shine, you know the numbers and how to make them sing. I wholeheartedly endorse your new and exciting venture and look forward to seeing you have the same success that you have brought me.

I have been a client of Allen Schiff for over 14 years now. I met Allen through another of his many happy clients and he immediately became a part of my success. He was a strong factor in helping me to see my potential by helping me to put together a realistic business plan that included short-term and long term goals. Without his assistance, starting my private practice would have been overwhelming or nearly impossible. Since that time, Allen has helped me to achieve and surpass my goals by being a constant reliable friend and advisor. Allen has been devoted to the dental profession for many years, and I am sure he will continue to be a part of my future success since I will always trust in his professional assistance. I will continue to support his firm by referring all of my friends and professional colleagues, as I know what a difference can be made in their professional and personal lives through his caring attitude, helpful advice, incomparable experience, and unfailing wisdom.

It is a very simple concept, you go to a person who knows both
what's going on and has the ability to keep focused. Schiff & Associates
has a very good base of knowledge and experience in the dental field
and from my first contact to negotiating the purchase of my office,
there was no one other than your firm more dedicated to closing
an honest and fair deal. Schiff & Associates unmatched knowledge
of the business of dentistry has been consistently ahead of the trends
in practice management and finance. In the past 7 years my practice
has been grown to almost three fold. I do not think that I would
have been able to reach my goals without Allen Schiff and his personal
attention and guidance.

Engaging Allen Schiff as our financial advisor and accountant
was probably the best decision our practice has made. Allen and
his associates are always available for questions. He is well versed
in the major issues that impact dentists and the practice of dentistry.
With his guidance and encouragement, he helped us reorganize our
corporate structure, empowered us to move our office from a small,
inadequate facility to a new, modern up-to-date state of the art
office and arranged an extremely favorable loan package. Schiff
and Associates will help your practice become what you want it to
be.

We recently engaged the services of Schiff & Associates as our
accounting and advising consultants. Working with a CPA that is
dedicated to the dental profession has made a world of difference.
Their experience and training in the dental industry makes them
an invaluable asset to our practice. We have yet to present a situation
or dilemma to Schiff & Associates that they have not already experienced
and determined the most advantageous solution for our needs. In
just one year Schiff & Associates has earned our trust and confidence.

Allen Schiff helped our group practice put together a financial
and business team. We now have access to legal, retirement, banking
and accounting that all communicate and work together, have experience
with dentists and have customized their recommendations to our specific
needs.
Thank you Allen for helping our business take it to the next
level.

Just as our patients come to us for dental advice, it is really
great to have an accounting firm who understands the business of
dentistry. Our needs are different and our practices are unique.
Their custom approach to each dentist and their hands on expertise
make for a great working relationship. Schiff and Associates has
an answer to all of our questions."

I sincerely recommend Allen Schiff and Associates as highly qualified dental accounting experts. His teams approach is very thorough and they truly allow the client to stay very much in touch with the pulse of the practice. It really helps to have a relationship with an accountant that you know is up on all of the latest tax nuances and how they relate to our profession. I depend upon Allen and his work speaks for itself.

I want to thank you and Cindy along with your staff for helping Maggie and I over the past 10 or 15 years that we have been sharing business together. It is rare in our present business culture that we are able to do this but you should know you are truly appreciated and have made a difference in our lives!
When Maggie & I left our accountant in Maryland to start with you ("years ago") we were having difficulty with bookkeeping and tax planning. My recollection is that you saved us well over $10,000 that first year because our prior CPA (who promoted themselves as specializing in dentistry) was not really paying attention to our unique needs. You got us on track and kept us there.
Later, when Maggie & I chose to "semi-retire" in WV and sold our practice you were very helpful in the accounting needed and protected our interests to a great extent. I only wish I could have engaged your services for the entire sale process listing it with you because I know the transaction would have been managed with greater expertise and finesse. Thank you for seeing us through this and enabling us to accomplish our goal!
Silly me, I did not realize you do our taxes in WV (out of state). When our CPA in WV told us on April 13 that we owed an extra $27,000 in income tax, well...my cardiovascular health was challenged! We called you and asked for help and you were very gracious and have enabled us to get back on track, and keep us on track with taxes so that we are now ahead and not behind. We are growing our practice, and you are assisting us now in a final exit strategy when Maggie & I decide to let go of the practice.
It is comforting to know that I have an accounting firm with my best interest at heart and I am grateful to you for helping us to reach our modest goals of peace, happiness, financial security, and the comfort of knowing our affairs are in order.
Life in business is tough and you have become a mentor, a friend and I know I can trust you! Thanks so much for caring!
