80 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 12 “That’s something we are really proud of,” Sandhu says. “We are really excited about this award.” Sandu redits the firm’s staff with helping to make Clearhouse into the firm it is today. “What makes us unique is that we’ve got great staff,” he says. “They’re very intelligent and very dedicated individuals. Without our staff, I don’t think we would be where we’re at. They bring that level of expertise to the table. The type of work we do isn’t done by a medium-sized firm. That type of work is usually saved for some of the bigger firms. The fact that we are able to help clients with some of the more complex issues whether it’s international tax, public company audits, doing IPOs, and stuff like that, that’s really helped us go a long way. And it’s because we have a really great staff. We have really bright individuals that have helped us really grow the practice.” In addition to its knowledge base, Clearhouse also works to stay ahead of the game when it comes to technology. “Our team is tech-savvy and are up-to-date with the latest technology offerings,” Sandhu says, which often makes our client service delivery very smooth,” he adds.. “We do try to stay ahead of the curve,” he says. “For example, in audit, we’ve started using some software that helps us with the selection of sampling risk assessments and journal entry testing. That’s something that’s really sped things up. So we’re always trying to look for ways to use technology to improve the process and speed things up.” When they’re not focusing on their client’s needs, Clearhouse is focused on bettering the community around them. In October, the firm got together to help prepare meals for a charitable organization. Partners are on the boards of, and they help provide financial education to, local charities as well. “That’s something that we’ve really put in place and something we want to continue to grow on,” Sandu says. Though they’ve made tremendous progress in the short amount of time the firm has existed, Sandhu has his sights set on even bigger growth for the future of Clearhouse. “We want to continue the trajectory of our growth,” he says. “We really do want to be seen as one of the bigger firms out there. We want to constantly evolve. We want to refine some of our processes at the firm just to make things run a little smoother. But we definitely do want to see ourselves as one of the bigger firms and that’s something we are really striving towards.” “As we continue to grow our hands-on touch will always remain the same.” Sandhu elaborates. “That’s been our competitive advantage and it really is part of the mission and vision that we have as a firm,” Sandhu says. “As we grow, we are focused on developing and promoting our existing team and recruiting bright and ambitious people to join us. And to support our growth, we anticipate adding more senior roles into our structure and possibly more firm partners. Investing in our existing staff and bringing on new talent is a key business imperative for us.” “Part of the mission we have really does try to take advantage of the fact that we’re a lean organization, we’re nimble. We are able to deal with the client issues, we’re accessible and part of that is just refining some of the processes so we have more time to deal with more clients, but not take away from what has helped us to get here.” “Part of the mission we have really does try to take advantage of the fact that we’re a lean organization, we’re nimble.
