From Our Clients
“It was refreshing to work with Melodi because she was a great quarterback. She was incredibly professional, kept everyone on track, and provided needed insights to the team throughout the process. I work with consultants all of the time, and it is rarely this pleasant. From where I sat, she was the perfect consultant to work with. If I could have a Melodi on every engagement, I would. Working with Melodi made the experience more effective and less time consuming, and I would highly recommend her services.”
Jadie
Sage Intacct
“We contacted the Nonprofit Client Advisory Services to help us evaluate and navigate potential software options. Melodi was pleasant, knowledgeable, and provided clear, concise, and concrete answers to all of our questions. Most importantly, Melodi helped narrow our focus and kept us on the right path. Her report became the backbone of our discussions and ultimate decision. I would absolutely recommend her services to any organization facing similar issues.”
Jon
ChildMind
“Our organization suddenly found ourselves in the enviable position of having too much money and no clear path on how best to mange our financial resources. After a phone conference with Scott Haumersen, we knew we were ready to embark on creating a Reserve Policy that could grow with us. Scott and Melodi not only took the fear out of understanding the distinct types of reserves, but they also engaged our board to fully understand their comfort level and created a product that was tailor suited to our specific needs and future aspirations. I would highly recommend Wegner CPAs to help guide your organization to the next level of financial security!"
