“Large & Gilbert has been my accounting firm and financial advisor for over fifteen years. During this time, Large & Gilbert has always gone the extra mile to assist me with the growth and changes in my business. No matter what I need, or how fast I need it, they respond quickly and professionally. I am your biggest fan.”
– Ronny Jones, RDJE, Inc.
“Through many changes, L&G has always been there for us. We incorporated in 1979. Bonding, a profit-sharing plan and a computerized accounting system followed. In 1997, came cancer, estate planning, wills to be updated and a buy-sell to be implemented. Rhonda has taken care of everything. Her predictions have been accurate and we have never had a problem with any government agency. She has always kept me straight and given sound advice – sometimes with me kicking and screaming all the way.”
– Butch Gorman, Gorman & Gorman Electric Co.
“Rhonda Gilbert and the staff of L&G are a huge reason for the success we have enjoyed at R.K. Redding Construction, Inc.

“Gary has been very responsive and knowledgeable to our inquiries from the small and mundane to large and complex. He has given us the confidence and shown us the proof which has helped in most of our decisions. To the flip side to that, he doesn’t hold back on calling someone or something out. Gary is a real black and white guy, knows the numbers, and I promise you will sit back at some point and say holy cow Gary (good or bad). He isn’t just our CPA, but a partner, and truly happy our paths crossed. What really sold us was the graphs and trends document they put together.”

Gary Fortier – “My office makes fun of me because one day, I told them you complete my sentences. Friday, when Danny kept saying “I was just about to ask that.” He started laughing because you were completing his thought process and explaining in a way we understand. It’s not just me your completing sentences for! I called a handful of recommended accountants before calling you, left a message with all of them. Called your office once, personally spoke to you right away. Your office understands we are Graders at heart. The Safety Zone Analysis is perfect for us. It’s like grade marks on a jobsite for us to measure up to. Foundation should really pay you for your knowledge of the software. With us being small, I’m pulled multiple ways, turning in bids, answering the phones, AP, AR, software set up, 401K set ups, checking mail and emails, HR, Payroll. Your involvement and checklist hold me accountable. I appreciate the effort you put in to see us do our best! You are worth the money.”
– Holly McElwaney, Helix Grading
Gary, Dustin, and Tom – “The Large and Gilbert training class on “Underwriting Contractors” was a big home run yesterday. You would not of thought a 4 hour in person class on contractor accounting would of garnered so much excitement and feedback. You guys did a great job making it both entertaining and interactive. I knew this was an area of potential weakness for our team. However, all of our folks left the class yesterday with a lot more confidence and understanding. They certainly know now how to identify the “red flags” and they now know the right questions to ask the client. I have received a ton of positive feedback.”
