Smith Kesler & Company has committed to communicating with the surety industry on a regular basis through meetings with surety company representatives and surety bond producers. The firm listens to what the surety needs in order to better serve our contractors. The firm feels that knowledge of the surety industry and of construction in general is as important to contractor clients as the more traditional services, such as tax planning or financial statement preparation.
Below we have listed the services that we offer to our clients along with a brief description. The list below is by no means all-inclusive, so please feel free to inquire about a service if you do not see it listed.
