ABOUT US
Berry & Associates is a full-service, regional accounting firm with a concentration in the commercial construction industry.
Our firm was founded almost 30 years ago to focus on the specialized reporting needs of contractors and local governments as well as general accounting and income tax services needed by businesses. With an emphasis on client service, founder Joseph Taun Berry, CPA, has maintained a smaller staff size to provide niche expertise and personalized attention to your overall business goals and accounting needs. Many of our clients have been with us for decades and we continue to welcome new clients as we grow our practice presence in Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi and beyond.
Why contractors trust Berry & Associates
ConstructionExecutive.com calls construction accounting "one of the most complicated forms of business accounting in existence." Sureties want to work with firms that have timely, reliable financial reporting. Berry & Associates is known for its in-depth experience and knowledge in the field…so much so that most of our new business comes from surety, insurance agency, and client referrals. We're known for our personal service and affordability, both important for the clients we serve. The financial statement is a collective product of management and the independent CPA. We conduct an exit conference to review and discuss the financial statement with the respective client, explain how their financial statement may be graded and underwritten by third parties, and how it can be improved. Our work has supported and helped grow the businesses of contractors who trust our firm's years of experience and expertise in this complex accounting niche.
Why choose a firm the size of Berry & Associates rather than a larger accounting firm?
Berry & Associates offers the benefits of a smaller, responsive staff who knows you by name and your business by experience. Because we've intentionally maintained a consistent staff size, we can offer specific, critical expertise at a smaller firm cost. Most firms our size are "do it all firms" that work well if you don't need the specific industry knowledge we've spent years building.
What other specialties does Berry & Associates offer?
Governmental accounting requires a unique set of accounting standards to maintain tight control over resources and activities. Berry & Associates has years of understanding the financial reporting needs of local government water and sewer departments, and other non-profit rural water associations, and public water authorities.
