75 Years of Making it Count

Springfield Thunderbirds

Client since 2016

“To align ourselves with someone like Meyers Brothers Kalicka, they’re the best in the region… we like to strive to be the best at what we do and we want to work with people that have the same mindset. And, I feel like that organization has that similar mindset.  Especially Kris. Getting to work with someone who’s got her pedigree is awesome.  She’s a very well-respected woman in this market and it’s great to be able work with someone like that on a day-to-day basis to make sure that we’re doing the right thing and that we’re going to be here and be sustainable just like MBK has been in our community”.

“If I had to describe Meyers Brothers Kalicka in one word, it would be the best”.

Fontaine Bros., Inc.

Client since 2003

“I think of MBK as a partner in our business, as an advisor. They’ve helped us through succession planning they’ve helped us through generational transitions”.

“Family businesses are different from many other businesses but they're a fairly common here in the valley. It's a small entrepreneurial ecosystem everyone knows one another and the fact that they have worked with many other family businesses over all these years going through that transition from generation to generation was extremely valuable into our transition”. 

Peter Pan Bus Lines

Client since 1982

“This is our fourth generation working with Meyers Brothers they have a real Personal Touch. You can easily pick up the phone and we can call them for any business matter that we might have”.

 “Meyers Brothers Kalicka is really an integral part of Peter Pan's team. There's rarely a business decision we've made without consulting them first, whether it be an acquisition, a sale, real estate, estate planning-  Meyers Brothers Kalicka has been a real important part of our business decision making”.

Square One

Client since 2000

“In 2011, as most of us locally know, we had a tornado that literally ripped Square One out of the ground. It decimated our location on Main Street in Springfield. Following the tornado in November of 2012, there was a gas explosion here in Springfield and unfortunately Square One Center was destroyed.

And so, in 18-months, Square One lost two of its most profitable Child Care Centers and recovering from that loss required a great deal of strategic planning but lots of financial expertise. MBK really stepped up to the plate and that required additional effort on their part they didn't necessarily sign up or know when they were engaging with Square One that we would have a tornado and a gas explosion within 18 months but they didn't shy away from the challenge”.

Mental Health Association

Client since 2013

“We have 35 sites but probably about 50 programs. It's very complicated and just to add insult to injury, we also have 27 different companies under our umbrella - so all that has to be consolidated. MBK is a lifesaver when it comes to taxation”. 

“We don't only use them for accounting, we use them throughout the year for business advice. They do all of our consolidations, our UDR.  At the end of the year, they spend weeks at our facility compiling information and being sure that we're compliant”. 

“We bring them in for strategy if we're buying properties, if we're talking about expansion-  plus they're very proactive as far as the new regs that are coming out for accounting and how it's going to affect us”. “The fact that they're local and in the community is a huge benefit for us because they know all the players they know all the politics so they don't have to learn all of that and they can use that when they're giving us their experience and their knowledge in helping us with different strategies”.

“Certainly as we are transitioning ownership, they've been instrumental in us knowing how to how to pursue that with our attorneys and accountants”.

- John Maybury, President

 “MBK being a local firm and dealing with a lot of family businesses - that's helped us third generation business transitioning from my grandfather to father, then father to me. Having the expertise in the area and working with a bunch of family businesses that helped us be able to pose questions”.

- Will Maybury, President

Marcotte Ford

“We're a family business; we're a third generation business and we were very loyal to the people that we work with and I think they're the same way with their clients”.

“They’re local. They know are business and needs and wants. And the staff is tremendous”.

- Mike Filomeno, General Manager

“We've never looked elsewhere. We know we can trust them. My grandfather trusted them. My father trusted them. I trust them. Mike Filomeno trusts them-  so we know it's not even a question we know they have our best interests at heart”. 

“Since 2015, we've grown exponentially with our truck center our commercial sales. Across the street, we redid our facility, added a restaurant into our dealership. They've helped us make it make sense and to help us grow”. 

- Mike Marcotte, President

Davis Practice Management

Client since 2003

“I'm busy. I'm really busy and we have to do a lot more with a lot less so it makes it easy when I can just pick up the phone and get somebody that's going to respond to you send you the information you need”.

“They do all of the taxes and they also offer courses that are outside the realm of just taxation. For example, the big issue obviously in the last few years was the PPP loan. There's a lot of information on how to apply for that, how to put that on your taxes and and all that good stuff - and they were really helpful in that”.

Tyler Equipment Corporation

Client since 2008

“We just celebrated our 101st year in business. One of the things that really stands out with MBK is the relationship that we've built together over the years. They understand our business. They have been a trusted ally; anytime we run into a situation when we’re not quite sure how to proceed - they've got resources in-house that that we can rely upon. 

“We also want to congratulate MBK on the 75th anniversary. We can see a continuation of our 100 plus years and their 75 years and growing to take us forward”.

“Our relationship with MBK dates back 33 years they're a firm you can rely on. When you when you call, they're always there when you have a question they not only answer it promptly but they're they're good answers”.

- Matt Tougas, Director of Finance

“when I think about my relationship with them and our relationship with them it's really about consultation. Being able to not just get the reports and the documents but be able to have a conversation with somebody get some advice they know your business they know you. That's where it is and that's what we have with with Jim and with MBK”.
