As founder of the public relations and public affairs firm John Bailey & Associates, Inc., John Bailey relied heavily on the financial advice of Clayton & McKervey. In 10 years, he was able to take his business from humble beginnings to a high-growth company that employed 30 people. During that decade, John found valuable support in the role Clayton & McKervey played.
"One of the most dramatic ways in which they helped my business was right at the start. I was looking for an accounting firm and had a lot of ideas about what I wanted to do. One of the first questions asked of me was if I had a business plan and a budget. I didn't. So I was told, 'Let's meet again in two weeks when you have them, and we'll help you form your business.'"
"That was a valuable lesson. I learned to think through my business ideas and set goals for the business. I didn't know what the income would be the first year, but I set a goal and we reached it the first year."
"Since the start, Rob Dutkiewicz was my direct contact. In the early days, Clayton & McKervey handled all the accounting as we grew. Rob was more like our CFO and financial consultant. He advised me to hire a controller when the business grew larger. Now that I have sold the business, Rob is still my accountant."
