Schechter Dokken Kanter Andrews & Selcer (SDK) was formed in 1990 by five men (pictured above) who left an established national firm in an effort to create a firm that made sense for clients. What resulted was our mid-size firm, focused on knowing each and every client on a personal level. We apply our intense technical training and background from the former large firm to each client situation. We service clients in a variety of industries with standard accounting needs such as tax, audit and general bookkeeping or business services work.

BEWARE Terrible, Unethical As grieving beneficiaries of a legal trust that we knew nothing about, I believe Ron Kelner CPA of SDK took advantage of our vulnerable position. From the start, he and SDK lacked the professional communication normally provided in accounting firms. I witnessed reckless handling our family's personal data, endless delay (years!), and straight up malpractice that has cost us a lot of money and stress. Steer clear of these people and look for an honest CPA.

I have been the business controller at my organization for four years with SDK as our audit firm (they have been performing the audit service for over 20 years). The auditors have proven to be knowledgeable, dependable, and good communicators. They have taken the time to learn our business as well as our entire industry. They maintain independence and operate with very high ethical standards. Our Board, Finance Committee, and myself truly appreciate the value they provide.

I worked with nancy lehrman who works with SDK since the merger of SDK and Leherman Flom and Lehrman in handling my mothers estate, my grandmothers estate and my personal taxes. while handling my mothers estate she worked with lehrman flom and lerhman which was absorbed into sdk. The funny thing is I did not know this until long after fact. which is amusing considering the tens of thousands of dollars that I was paying to Nancy to handle closing the estates of both my mother and grandmother, you would have thunk that deserved a phone call or email, but I didn't get one, this is a reacurring theme with my experience with both Nancy and SDK.
She mis filed my personal taxes for 2015 for the state of minnesota resulting in a fine that I had to pay, and went awol towards the end of 2016 through out 2017 while handling my grandmothers estate on both the state and federal level. My grandmothers estate could have been closed by the end of 2016/ early 2017. However, since Nancy completely abdicated her professional responsibilities the eventual closure of the estate did not happen until late winter spring 2018 close to two and a half year after my grandmother passed.
I personally went through a difficult time. My family was small consisting of my mother, her sister, and my grandmother. within 13 months I lost both my mother and then my grandmother in that order and I was coming to the grips that at the age of 32 I was pretty much completely alone, without any family in my life. the ammount of work that I needed Nancy to do by the end of 2016 would have taken hours at the most. yet she did not complete this work until winter 2018, further delaying the closure during an extremely difficult time of my life.
I am saying this because it is not about money, it is about transformation and trying to get over difficult times. yes I paid nancy a lot of money to handle my families business and yes I expect a certain amount of attention because I am spending that money. Thisis a completely reasonable expectation of a service. after receiving only 3 or 4 responses to countless phone calls and emails over a 18 month period of time I really started to get angry. the problem is Nancy doesn't care, SDK doesn't care, they will tell you that they are accountable and responsible until you shine a light on their fallacies. once that happens they will hide in their cave until you go away.
I tried to air my grievances with a managing partner at sdk. I left many messages, never received a response. this is a symptom of a culture amongst this organization. If you are looking for dependable and responsible accountants to handle your financial affairs. I recommend you avoid SDK at all costs. since parting ways with nancy and sdk I went to Abdo EICK AND MEYERS LLP. My experience has been great. check them out.
