Haass, Lindow & Campsey, A Professional Corporation, is a medium-sized public accounting firm dedicated to servicing the needs of small-to-medium sized businesses and to individuals. The firm was formed in August 1984 and is located at the Colonnade Office Tower at the intersection of Interstate 10 and Wurzbach Road in San Antonio, Texas. The firm is large enough to keep abreast of the constantly changing tax laws and financial accounting principles, yet small enough to maintain personal contact with our clients.

The firm consists of five accountants, four of whom are CPA's. There are three partners in our firm with over 70 years of combined experience in public accounting. Like most small businesses, the owners of the firm are working partners. We believe that our clients want and deserve the benefit of the professional experience of our partners.

Each partner has a unique area of expertise including auditing, employee benefits, estate planning, business and individual tax planning, small business management consulting, and computer system consulting. Since each area requires extensive knowledge of federal and state tax laws or pronouncements by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, we are able to maintain current expertise in all accounting areas. The firm believes that by each individual partner and staff member remaining current and specializing in one or two areas of expertise, and working as a part of a client-service team, the needs of our clients can be better served.

Haass, Lindow & Campsey, P.C. is a member of the Private Companies Practice Section (PCPS) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The AICPA establishes quality control procedures for PCPS member firms furnishing audit and accounting services to the general public. This membership assures our clients that we have received a report from an outside peer review team, that we adhere to AICPA quality control standards and that each professional in the firm attends a minimum of 40 hours of continuing education each year.

We have initiated many policies in our firm which enable us to provide such attention to our clients. We know, for example, that the needs for our services cannot usually be scheduled around an appointment. We, therefore, have made it a policy of the firm to introduce our clients to at least two of our partners. We find that when the primary partner is out of the office, the second contact can provide the needed consultation and answer to the problem. In this manner, no critical decision must be put off due to the unavailability of a professional.

Because Haass, Lindow & Campsey, P.C. believes that communication is critical in order to better serve our clients, we encourage an open line of communication with our clients and have made it a policy to contact clients regarding year-end income tax planning. By maintaining continuous communication with the client, we learn of their current needs and are better able to adopt new techniques or planning strategies to their situations as we learn them.

We have initiated the policy of giving instruction to our staff in office etiquette. They have received training to enable them to fit into the work place of the client as unobtrusively as possible. The firm believes that no audit or tax examination should disrupt the "business as usual" atmosphere of a client's office.

Haass, Lindow & Campsey, P.C. believes that to be of real benefit to the client, our services must be rendered on a timely basis, at the highest quality, and at an attractive cost-benefit ratio. The firm personnel share a common belief - quality is a professional obligation, not an option.

Thank you for allowing us the time to introduce ourselves to you. We look forward to working with you in the future.
