Choose Our Trusted CPA Firm
ASI understands small to medium business challenges. The company started out as a one-person shop with Andrew Severson, our president and owner. Andrew, an entrepreneur at heart, wanted to build a different kind of accounting service. With his entrepreneurial spirit, he applied the work ethic practices of an on-the-ground owner/operator to the public accounting sector. He grew his clients the way all owner/operators do – one client at a time.
That entrepreneurial spirit helped us grow from one person to a group of eight experts who embody the attributes and vision of a growth mindset, accounting skills and business growth.
