Client Comments

Testimonials:

"I have had the good fortune and privilege to work with undoubtly one of the best consultants in the world. This in NOT fluff. I am probably one of the most demanding and driven managing partners of a local CPA firm in the United States. I demand results and Bill delivers. With his assistance, our firm has doubled in less than 3 years."

Erik Rigby, Managing Partner
The Rigby Group, New Orleans, Louisiana

"Bill Reeb's facilitation of a strengths and weaknesses session for our company was a tremendous experience. A pre-meeting survey of a broad cross-section of our employees had provided ample insight into issues we were facing. Bill's high-energy, no "sacred cows" approach to addressing those issues forced management to accept the reality that problems existed and helped us fashion appropriate solutions. In spite of some personal angst caused by exposing those issues to the light, the sessions were enjoyable and fast-paced. I highly recommend Bill for corporate and organizational workshops."

Mark Bunker, Chief Financial Officer
Calcasieu Lumber Company, Austin, Texas

"We have retained Bill Reeb in a variety of capacities in the recent past. He has provided professional development courses, spoken to our semi-annual Leadership Cabinet and facilitated a Board of Directors retreat. Time after time, Bill delivers - and always provides an environment that stimulates thinking and enhances the event's success."

Gary Bolinger, President & CEO
Indiana CPA Society, Indianapolis, Indiana

"Consultant isn't an appropriate title for Bill Reeb. He is more like your most valuable employee. Ignoring the fact that the decisions made would negatively affect his personal profit, Bill continued to push forward the actions necessary to do what was best for our company and it's future. I would recommend Bill as a consultant to anyone willing to listen and act upon difficult decisions."

Pam Teich, President
Lammes Candies Since 1885, Inc., Austin, Texas

"It is a rare and cherished talent to have the combined knowledge, practical experience, and personal humoristic approach to planning and problem solving that Bill Reeb brings to the table. He has an uncanny ability to identify not only opportunity but problems; and to bring the group into focus for solving the problem while retaining the integrity of each individual and the group. Before you know it, you've solved complex issues, you've had some fun, and you're seeing synergy you didn't know could exist! Bill's personal commitment to integrity, the profession, and his clients remain unsurpassed. It seems an understatement to say we consider Bill our single most valuable resource."

"I've known Bill Reeb for years and have worked with him on many occasions -- both as a colleague as well as hiring him in as a speaker or facilitator. Bill never fails to bring excitement, laughter, controversy and an intense focus to everything he does. And those around him never fail to get to a higher level."

Clarke Price, President and CEO

Donna J. Hugly, CPA, Managing Partner
Hugly & Company, P.C., Dallas, Texas

"I have had the pleasure of hearing Bill speak a number of times on professional or management issues. He has that unique quality that everyone looks for in a professional speaker or trainer - he informs in an entertaining and exciting way. He "knows his stuff" and he communicates his message to his audience in a way that keeps their attention, makes them think and often makes them laugh! He delivers practical information that can be taken back to your office and utilized to solve problems and make improvements to your operations. Bill has also worked as a consultant/facilitator within my own organization. He has worked with us to tailor programs to meet our unique needs and then provided assistance in implementing concepts that have improved our organization. If you are in the market for a consultant to help you improve the management of your organization, or a speaker for a conference who is sure to please your audience, I can think of no one better than Bill Reeb."

John M. Sharbaugh, CAE, Executive Director/CEO
Texas Society of CPAs, Dallas, Texas

"I had been through the strategic planning process several times, and the results were always the same - lots of talk with little action. When I learned that the Board of Directors for the Tennessee Society of CPAs was going to have a strategic planning retreat, I was anticipating the same. I was skeptical to the point of cynicism. On top of that, to learn that an "expert" was conducting the retreat made the prospect of attending even more dreadful. In my previous strategic planning activities, the "experts" always knew the answers and pushed the group in a predetermined direction. Bill Reeb quickly changed my attitude. His delivery method and organization of the strategic planning process was outstanding. I actually enjoyed the retreat, and the group came away with defined and achievable goals - our goals. Bill lets the group makes it own decisions and set its own future without trying to influence it. He guides the process with real-world examples and enthusiasm without controlling the outcome. I can highly recommend Bill Reeb to conduct a valuable strategic planning exercise for any organization."

Mark Steadman, Ph.D., CPA. Tennessee Society of CPA's Board member
Associate Professor of Accountancy, East Tennessee State University

"Bill has provided a number of professional development sessions for the National association and several of our Provincial associations. His extensive knowledge of the accounting profession and the subject matter, coupled with his enthusiasm, have made him consistently one of our highest rated speakers. Participants comments clearly show that they are pumped up at the end of Bill's sessions."

Lyle Handfield, VP - International and Corporate Affairs
Certified General Accountants Association of Canada
