You are Number One at Layton & Richardson At Layton & Richardson our number one objective is the complete satisfaction of our most valuable assets - our clients. Over the years we've devised an approach to insure our clients' satisfaction and success. We strive to become familiar with your entire business, not just the accounting function. You and your business are unique. In order to provide the best service possible, we get to know you and your plan for success. With this knowledge and close personal contact, we are able to be the trusted business advisor you expect. Traditionally, accounting firms have departmentalized each function of their practice, dividing the client's needs between each department and different professionals. At Layton & Richardson, we use a more client centered approach. One professional, who is familiar with your entire business, orchestrates all of our resources, utilizing professionals from our staff with the expertise to help you succeed. This approach reduces the possibility of miscommunication and enhances the attainment of your goals and expectations. Personal service is another quality you can expect at Layton & Richardson. Our staff is available and ready to act quickly when a situation arises, listening to problems, anticipating needs and devising solutions that move your business toward it's goals. As a professional, you are called upon to make important decisions. As your business advisor, we are dedicated to providing you with accurate and timely information on which to base these decisions.

About Our Firm Since our founding in 1971, Layton & Richardson has been performing complete services in the traditional fields of accounting, auditing, tax and management consulting. Our clients represent a broad cross-section of economic activity. Because no two businesses, governmental units or organizations are exactly alike, we tailor our services and expertise to meet individual needs. Our professional staff never deviate from our mission of helping you and being dedicated to your success. In order to ensure your present success, our staff participate in seminars, continuing education programs and conferences that ensure our awareness of changing laws, principles and practices. We are members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and have successfully completed quality reviews approved by the Institute. We are also members of the Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants. These affiliations enhance our ability to offer the quality, expertise and specialization you expect of an accounting firm. All photos by Dan Barnette.
