I hired Mr. Gribben as an expert witness in a contested income tax matter. He is very knowledgeable of the Code and Treasury Regulations. Articulate and very professional. Returns telephone calls on a timely basis. I recommend Mr. Gribben highly and without hesitation

Dave is one of the best advisors I’ve ever worked with. His approach to understanding his clients’ unique circumstances and offering his advice accordingly is amazing. I highly recommend using Dave and his team of advisors if you are looking for business or personal taxes, payroll, or accounting/bookkeeping needs.

Deciding to become a Client of Dave Gribben and Padgett Business Services was one of the best decisions we made since starting our business 9 years ago. Dave has been super-efficient in handling our taxes, and he was very helpful when we were considering a significant acquisition. When the Coronavirus shutdown started, Dave and the Padgett Team really exceeded our expectations. They went well above and beyond the scope of our agreement, producing multiple webinars to educate all of their Clients regarding resources available to help our businesses survive the shutdown. And, they made the webinars available to any interested party, so I was able to share them with our fellow Franchisees. Dave is thorough, he listens, and he does what he says he is going to do. We highly recommend Dave Gribben and Padgett Business Services.

I have been working with Padgett Business Services of Barrington for two years now, they handle my personal and small business taxes. Dave and his team are extremely knowledgable regarding the ever changing tax laws and is more than an accountant but a trusted member of our small business team.

In my past 34 years of business I have gone through at least five accountants. Dave is hands down number one. He goes above and beyond expectations in service. Dave never misses a beat not only in accountant services but also in business advice. I could go on and on but if you’re looking for an accountant who is attentive, precise and trustworthy Dave is the one for you!

Dave at Padgett has been second to none! We are so fortunate and thankful to have been introduced to Dave and his team at Padgett! We are a very small business and had been through numerous accountants some were horrible and some were good but none compared to Dave's team. We give Dave all our book keeping also and it just takes a huge load and stress off us and allows us to concentrate on our business. As a small business owner/operator it is hard to wear so many hats - taxes & accounting is just too important to fumble around with! We fully trust Dave and his team. They are super responsive, very knowledgeable and just plain professional!In the past, previous accountants & so called business "professionals" had not submitted or incorrectly filed taxes, forms and other documentations and we given letters with potential fines. Dave supported us by correcting all forms , taxes and documents and avoiding or reducing fines. He continues to ensure our business operates in accordance with local, state and govt laws. Dave's team keeps fully up to date with all changes to ta laws and other changes as it relates to our business and keeps us informed.I cant say enough positive things about Dave and his team! Two thumbs up

We love working with Padgett Business Services! They are always looking out for our best interests and proactively keep us up to date with current tax matters. They are always there when we have a tax or accounting question-usually responding in 5-10 minutes! For more complex questions, they are quick to schedule a face-to-face in person or online. I would recommend their services to any business looking to navigate today's business challenges. Dave, Irene and Catherine make us feel like they have our back and want to help our agency thrive.

When my independent Auto Dealership quickly outgrew the accounting office I had been using, I asked a banker friend for a referral. He sent me to Dave Gribbon at Padgett and I've never looked back. Thorough, professional, immediately on top of changing tax issues and quick to communicate those issues. I very much enjoy the professional relationship we have and feel as though, for the past 4 years, have landed in the most competent hands I could have possibly found. Great accounting and tax work doesn't need to be a financial burden, as I find the fees extremely reasonable. I would highly recommend Padgett to anyone.

I've been working with Dave and his team for a number of years, and they have been tremendous to work with. I'm only a 1 person business and Dave has taken a great load off me, which allows me to focus on the business, not paperwork. The team also had immediately stepped up to help everyone with the PPP, could not thank the team more!

Padgett Business Services Barrington is the company you want to hire to help you navigate the business world of finances, taxes, and growth. Dave and his team have been there for me every step of the way to answer questions and help guide me. I was originally freelancing. Then formed my first company. I did this before connecting with Padgett. Upon review of my business structure, they recommended I switch to an S Corp for tax savings. I have worked in the creative field my entire career. Taxes and the administrative were never my forte, but Dave and his team were extremely patient with me - even when I know I asked the same questions multiple times, or forgot to submit documents. They've looked out for my best interests from day 1 and I couldn't be happier with their service. Today, with Coronavirus and all of the unknowns coming at us hourly, their team is updating us with webinars, emails, and constant communication. They are holding our hands through the unknown and navigate all of the new laws, loans, etc for us.If you want a fully dedicated and responsive team, this is who you go with. - Brian, Extremely Pleased Customer for 5+ Years

Dave and his staff are truly exceptional people. During the shutdown Dave has been very instrumental in helping not only his clients but many others needing assistance in seeking funding through the PPP program. He has held numerous Webinars to keep everyone informed on the changing government regulations. Dave has been doing our taxes for several years and I would highly recommend using him for your company or your individual taxes. I really am fortunate to have met Dave and have him not only as an adviser on my taxes but I really get the connection he cares on a personal level as well. He and his staff are always making arrangements for calls if need be to review any questions or concerns you may have. I would recommend Padgett Business Services to anyone who needs tax services.

I would HIGHLY recommend Padgett to ANYONE looking for accounting services. Dave, Irene, and Catherine are all extremely prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. It seems like they are working around the clock. They make you feel like you are their only client. We have saved so much money as a company since switching over to them. Another added bonus, is from the beginning of all of this COVID mess they have been a HUGE asset to keeping up with the PPP loan process. Dozens of emails, webinars, phone calls, and updates have been made to all of their clients to make sure they are keeping up with the process. It has been a life saver. I couldn't have done it without them. They treat your business as if it is their own, and it really shows with all of their dedication. I seriously cannot say enough nice things about them.
