Naden/Lean was founded in 1956 by Paul Naden, CPA, JD (who now plays trumpet for the Falstaff Five + Two Dixieland Jazz Band).
As you can see, we are different.
We are different in how we interact with you.
We hold multiple planning meetings throughout the year rather than trying to plan retroactively just before tax day. This way, your strategies are tactically applied rather than dwelling on the ‘what ifs’ of missed opportunities.
We are different in how we charge for our services.
We prefer to flat fee our engagements.
What that means for you is one, easily bugetable bill for all of our services. No more fear about calling us with a lease versus purchase question then seeing an invoice based on six minute billing increments. Although this may be common in other professional service firms, we don't believe it fosters the kind of dialogue between advisor and client that you want.
We demand a team approach amongst your advisors. We advocate open, transparent communication as it is the key to successful guidance.
After 54 years, we have developed an extensive resources of partners in the banking, legal, insurance and other industries critical to business success. These partners are continually and carefully vetted to ensure they provide you with a level of service that meets our standards of excellence.
