We have been clients of Meaden & Moore for several years, and in that time they have helped us decipher contracts, understand the complexities of our business, and guide us through complex assurance work. Being a professional sports franchise, we have unique needs that include league required special reporting, which the Meaden & Moore team has been instrumental in as well as helping us manage our multiple revenue streams. They also understand our commitment to “team” and keep a tenured staff on our engagement.
