Our Mission
We believe the quality of accounting service emanates from the people who actually perform the service. At O’Connell & Company, each client and each engagement is treated individually and must be regarded as important to the overall success of the firm. We strive to be a trusted resource for our clients, helping them achieve their goals.
Providing quality services to our clients requires that all personnel must be proficient in general accounting skills, information technology, and have knowledge of the client's industry and any specialized accounting required. Providing quality professional accounting services also requires that the person providing the services have solid interpersonal skills along with a broad business background. This enables them to assist clients by being a resource for business planning and decision making, for developing sound and practical accounting and reporting systems and controls.
