What people say about us...

"I cannot speak highly enough of P-Squared!"

They have provided FAAS to us for two years now and it has been game changing for our organization. They guided us through a long overdue overhaul of our chart of accounts to match the present needs of our org and a subsequent upgrade of our AP platforms/processes - and thereby made a monthly close actually possible for us for the first time in years. We have better internal understanding of our finances than we have ever had before and they have won over our board members by bringing us to a place where we can finally give them the level of whole picture analysis / forecasting that they have been asking for years. One member of our finance committee actually told the board during our last meeting that "finance committee meetings are a joy" now.  

MEGHAN GOLDENSTEIN
Managing Director of People and Operations at Mikva Challenge

"The team is well-versed in GAAP and collaborates well"

We have the pleasure to work with P-Squared on a number of audit clients. The team at P-Squared work in collaboration with the management team and us to make for an effective and efficient audit. The team is well-versed in GAAP, attentive to detail, and proactive with communication to avoid any surprises. We look forward to partnering with P-Squared on more client opportunities.

JIM QUAID
Director at ORBA

"I was immediately impressed by the quality and care..."

I have had the pleasure of working with P-Squared Consultants on multiple engagements over the last couple of years. P-Squared was hired on at an assurance and tax client, and I was immediately impressed by the quality and care they put into getting them ready for their audit. I am so appreciative of their attention to detail and their communication; it makes for a very smooth and enjoyable audit process (who knew the words “enjoyable” and “audit” could exist in the same sentence?!). They are a joy to work with – they are intelligent, dedicated, skilled, and very kind. I wish every audit client could have a team like this leading the charge.

"They are smart, solution-oriented, and highly personable."

As the founder of a charter school in Chicago, I understand what it means to start something that you put all of your effort into. As our school grew out of the start-up years and dramatically increased in number of students, number of staff, budget, and complexity; it was clear we needed someone to come alongside us to provide an exceptional level of service for all of our accounting, budget, and audit needs...I was looking for someone who has experience and expertise in those areas, but I also wanted to work with someone who would take it personally. Someone who is invested not only in the success of their own business but in the success of our school as well. We found all of that in P-Squared. Himali and Jen and their team not only have tremendous expertise and take care of all of our financial needs at a high level, they are a joy to work with. They are smart, solution-oriented, and highly personable. We give them our highest recommendation."

Found/Executive Director of Moving Everest Charter Schools

"...the best decision we made."

Their expertise was invaluable to Noble. P-Squared knew to ask critically important questions from the implementation consultant and shepherded us through the process very effectively. Having someone like them by our side, helping us navigate our own “unknown unknowns”, was instrumental to the success of our project."

ALEJANDRO RAMIREZ
Chief Financial Officer, Noble Schools

"I would recommend them without hesitation..."

I have had the pleasure of working with P-Squared Consultants on multiple projects. They stepped in as our Interim Controller, provided training for various team members, and served as a thought partner for strategic initiatives, such as restructuring certain finance functions. Their consultants are not only highly skilled but also very resourceful, providing creative problem-solving solutions to issues small and large."

NEIL SHAH
Chief Financial Officer, Achievement First

"...nothing short of a game-changer for our organization."

Working with PSquared has been nothing short of a game-changer for our organization. As a highly professional and reliable CFO consulting firm, they consistently exceed our expectations. Through their deep expertise in financial strategy, auditing, reporting, and operations we are able to forecast appropriately with the most accurate information. 

Their trustworthiness and commitment to our success have made them an invaluable partner. They take the time to understand the unique needs of our organization, providing strategic insights that have had a measurable impact. What truly sets them apart, though, is their incredible work ethic. They go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is accounted for and that no stone is left unturned. It’s clear they care deeply about the success of their clients, and their dedication shows in everything they do.
