Wilkins Miller stepped in when we had several conflicting demands and we needed assistance with our year-end financial statements and footnote preparation. They were extraordinary to work with and quickly became a critical resource. It is nice to deal with a regional firm that is responsive to customer needs and can hit the ground running.

– Krishna Rajagopal, Former VP & Controller

During a transition with our CFO position, Wilkins Miller provided immediate help with a full-time in house staff member which gave us time to find the right person. We were able to utilize the depth of their team to review and improve the efficiency of our organization. Once a hire was made, they assisted in transitioning the new person into the role which made the process smooth and painless.

Working with Wilkins Miller allows us to practice healthcare instead of accounting. We don’t have to worry, they are reliable, trustworthy and always willing to find an answer. Not only do we receive excellent service, we enjoy working with their personable staff.

The Wilkins Miller team has a level of integrity, ease of communication and knowledge that I haven’t experienced with any other firm. We utilize both the accounting and wealth management services, and appreciate the convenience and continuity that goes along with it; they are the total package. I’ve worked with them since opening my solo practice and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

– Dr. Kevin Pickett

Wilkins Miller has worked closely with our office for years and has worked to ensure they understand our people and business. If you want a firm that does everything correctly, keeps you out of trouble and can answer all of your complicated questions, Wilkins Miller is the place to go.

– Stephen Zito

When the Archdiocese needed better financial information for one of our ministries, we brought in Wilkins Miller as the ministry’s outsourced CFO to process payroll and payables, and to look at various processes in place. They quickly jumped in and assisted the Administrator with improvement opportunities for capturing all billing opportunities for the programs, improved the flow for approving payroll time and processing invoices for payment. With their high-quality work and wide range of services, I would recommend their firm to anyone.

– Michele Manry - Archdiocese of Mobile
