“Dayspring Center, Inc., a not-for-profit organization serving homeless families in Indianapolis, has been utilizing the services of Simons Bitzer for over seven years. The staff of Simons Bitzer is intimately involved with our agency and understands the needs of an organization such as ours. Simons Bitzer associates are accessible, knowledgeable and client-focused. They are truly just a phone call away. We have found their services to be a cost-effective way of having quality financial services without the overhead cost of employing a bookkeeper and/or an accountant.

“Simons Bitzer provides accounting services for us at a good value. We get professional grade services at an affordable rate, backed up by the tremendous breadth and depth of experience of the company principals.   The fact that they are willing to come to the office to perform the function is a distinct advantage and the team is always pleasant, on-time and communicates with us effectively.  I would certainly recommend this service to other non-profits.”

“As an Executive Director of a mid-size non-profit organization, I highly recommend the work of Simons
Bitzer & Associates.  Promising Futures of Central Indiana dedicates it resources to support its mission
of providing resources to develop healthy relationships and create positive changes for youth and
families, therefore it needs supportive accounting services that are high in value and cost effective.
Simons Bitzer provided us with quality, professional support and recommendations when reviewing
our business model.  They assisted Promising Futures in developing a plan to generate earned income
within program areas so that they are self-sustaining.  Simons Bitzer took the time to learn about
the organization, its programs, and the intricacies of the funding streams so that they could make a
recommendation to the Board of Directors that was in the best interest of the organization as a whole.
In addition to the quality work that Simons Bitzer provided, they were always great to work with,
accessible and responsive to our needs.”

~Stephanie Lyons, Executive Director, Promising Futures

“I had an emergency need for accounting services in July, 2011.  Having been acquainted with Simons Bitzer’s services through the Greater Greenwood Chamber of Commerce, I immediately called for a consultation with Greg Simons.  I met with Greg the same day and he helped me formulate a plan of action to address the issues facing our organization.  I could not be happier with the controllership sservices that Simons Bitzer has provided the Foundation. Without their help, financial accountability would have suffered.  I would recommend them to anyone looking for business solutions not only in hte accounting area but also with other financial and development plans.”
