Fester & Chapman

We wholeheartedly recommend the services of Fester & Chapman.
Save the Family Foundation of Arizona, and its affiliate A.R.M. of Save the Family, are combined to be medium-sized human services Agencies, providing Housing and Supportive Services to Families. We have an organizational commitment to providing transparent and accurate Financial Information to our Funders, Board Members, Donors, and the Community we serve. Fester & Chapman PLLC is a critical component of this commitment.
Their sensitivity while on-site to the Agency Culture, client-focused surroundings, and daily ongoing operations of a busy Agency has been exemplary. Their field crew is professional and courteous, while still demonstrating a commitment to Fester & Chapman’s own commitment to excellence. The presentations to the Board Members and the Partners’ relationships with Management, as well as their willingness to be available for questions as issues arise during the fiscal year, are transparent and appreciated.

We have been clients of Fester & Chapman for 17 years. During this period our group has had corporate changes, moving from being a for profit to a not for profit, applied for and received 2 Qualified Zone Academy Bonds, had 2 facility bond financings and one re-financing. During these periods Fester and Chapman not only provided audit services but also did additional financial statement procedures to ensure our audited statements and other financial information could be used as tools for these financings.

Fester & Chapman have provided audit services for Noah Webster Schools-Mesa, LAS School Foundation and Noah Webster Schools-Pima both while they were for profit and not for profit entities. Over the years we have come to rely on their professionalism and their willingness to fully explain any findings or concerns. They have always provided very personable and qualified audit staff to perform on-site field work. Their staff is always ready with advise on how to better prepare for and fully participate in an annual audit. In addition, they have always notified us well in advance of any anticipated or finalized changes issued by any regulating agencies that would affect upcoming financial outcomes.

Because of the continued excellent services we have received over the last 17 years, we would recommend Fester & Chapman to anyone in need of accountants or auditors. Their expertise and professionalism is something you will come to rely on.

Fester & Chapman, PLLC were our State appointed auditors for the fiscal years 2011 thru 2017.  Their insightful knowledge of the audit process ensured our audits were complete, accurate, and timely issued.  Fester & Chapman, PLLC have been one of the most reliable and responsible CPA firm that I’ve know in my 18 years of accounting.

Their outstanding customer service, availably and effective communications combined with their attention to detail and vast financial accounting knowledge, made of the yearly audit an almost enjoyable process.
