I've known Tom Grafton since 1975 and had a business relationship with him since 1978. He has done the mundane auditing and tax work as required as well as the extraordinary; offering advice, negotiation skills, counseling and parental friendship in my business startups, business sales and other major transitions in my life. He doesn't know everything, but he knows everyone who does and has shared that knowledge with me numerous times to the great benefit of me, my family and my livelihood. As the small business specialist in Lincoln, I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an accountant who does more than accounting and will always look out for your interests as if they were his own.
    Mike McCullough, President - Pavers Companies

I don't generally write testimonials, however in this case, I must make an exception. I'm extremely pleased to have Grafton & Associates as my accounting firm. They not only do flawless, timely, work but also have the ability to understand and appreciate the idiosyncrasies of our small business, and we, as individuals. I consider my contractual arrangements and relationship with this firm as one of our best investments in our small business objectives and goals. Having Grafton & Associates as an intrical part of our business is not a difficult decision for me. I can sleep at night knowing they are entrusted with our numbers and accounting. As far as I'm concerned, they set the "gold-standard" as an accounting firm for a small business. (A client for 16 years)

My name is Ron Miller and I have owned my General Contracting business for 33 years. Over the years I have often thought there must be an easier way of handling the bookkeeping part of my business. I have found a CPA firm that has made this part of my business easy, and has allowed me to do what I enjoy doing the most, being out in the field, doing my contracting business. Using Grafton & Associates has freed up my time and enables me to concentrate on the contracting side of my business. All I do is deliver my monthly statement, registers, and deposit book and they take it from there. Grafton & Associates provides my business with monthly ledgers, balance sheets, quarterly tax records, and 1099s. If I ever have a question regarding taxes, or just want some guidance, Grafton & Associates are always there to provide the answers I need.
