Our work has one goal: to carefully meet clients’ high expectations by offering smart, common sense financial advice.
So how are we doing in that regard?
A little more than a year ago, during the depths of the COVID pandemic, we invited all of our clients to participate in a client service survey run by an independent research company. Close to 500 clients responded. We were delighted, and immensely proud, at the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response. In fact 80% of clients rated us 10 out of 10 or 9 out of 10 for overall satisfaction.
Technology + Innovation
GGFL is a paperless work environment. We have invested in new, leading edge technology to take advantage of the added efficiency and client confidentiality it offers and thankfully are ready to work remotely when needed.
We give all clients access to a secure, easy-to-use file sharing and transfer service. It’s a quick, efficient and secure system for sharing of documents. Year-end financial statements, reports, documents, accounting files—any and all documents we need to share are transferred electronically. The majority of our clients have embraced the new system; they appreciate that it allows us to do our work more quickly and get results back to them with equal efficiency.
Quality
Expertise in accountancy is about keeping up with legislative and professional changes and change is the new constant. It’s why professional development is a key requirement for each member of our GGFL team, from Partner to co-op student.
In fact, continuous improvement is at the heart of the GGFL culture and one of our four Core Values.
GGFL’s Director of Standards and our Professional Practice Committee oversee training and development and ensure our teams remain at the leading edge our profession.
