Anderson Business Advisors

This company had so much promise when I started working for them. I put my whole effort into learning the system and preparing myself for my role on top of the training. I stayed on my computer for hours longer than everyone else to make sure I exceeded what was expected of me. I would stay hours after I was suppose to log out for the day. I was told that effort was going to pay off. That I would be promoted and earn an undisclosed mystery pay raise. I took on extra projects that other teams couldn't accomplish. I tackled difficult and experimental entity formations in order to appease my managers as well as the clients. I would call those clients and communicate clearly what they could expect in the future and what their next steps would be. But those promises never were fulfilled. I, like many others in the service department, started burning out. The lack of recognition and being passed over for people who have friends or family in mid/upper management wore me down. And I know what they're going to say. "We hired 400 people c in the last few years." Yes, and so many good hard working people left you because you sold us out. Now that they're implementing new structure for remote workers and for bringimg local employees back into the office, I can guarantee more will leave. You praised the employees that committed the most time theft and now you're punishing the employees you have that worked 3 times as hard to make up for their slacking off. Like the responses you give to people who haven't seen how you work on the inside, it is hollow and lacks the full details to make Anderson look like they care. You DID care. Then you put that horrible man who is far too emotional for his own good that refuses to hold clients or management accountable in the position of CEO and you sold us out. 

Good luck surviving the next few years. Considering anyone who has Google and a shred of common sense can search Sun and realize that they have a terrible track record.Sure, it says only one company was lost but do a little digging and you see they have a habit of sucking companies like Anderson dry of their short term revenue and when they have completely destroyed their reputation, they sell off the company to make their bottom line and keep their reputation clean. But go ahead and lie to people, giving the vaguecbasic information you find on Google without doing another 1 minute look at the numbers. 

You fool no one and you will be your own undoing because you no longer hold integrity as one of your core values and that's a shame. 

The people who work on the ground level of the service department are great. I never had any issues with my direct supervisors, in fact id say they were the best I’ve had at any job. Same with co-workers on my team. The issue is with the workload, the structuring of the front facing departments and pay.

The ever changing SOPs and job roles makes training for the success coordinator position extremely difficult and useless. They do not set employees up to succeed with the training that is allotted and once you complete the new training, they go and change the SOPs. 

The communication between departments is shocking. Most of the time instead of assisting, external departments just dump client issues onto service and Ignore any follow up. Recently they have delegated each task to a separate admin tear which has cause so much unnecessary confusion with employees and clients. No one knows who does what and that causes client frustration because they feel like they are getting the run around.  

A lot of the attorneys  don’t want to engage with assisting service department members or clients. When the clients are paying a fee to have access to attorneys on the helpline. There were times where I would have clients on hold off-and-on for upwards of 30 mins trying to get an attorney to answer, and when they did answer they would refuse the call because the client “spoke to an attorney about that yesterday”.

As well, the work load for the CSC position is untenable. While I was able to handle it most of the time, it isn’t fair to the employees, and especially the clients when CSCs can have a client log of up two 1200 clients. That is not setting the employee, or the clients up for success

The pay system is not acceptable, they ask you to move up to a position level prior to the time initially allotted to train, promise pay increases and never fulfill on them.  Then, keep you at a pay rate lower than the updated application pay scale where people below you and with less seniority are making 2-4k more a year. 

Overall, I have made friends with coworkers and supervisors that I will maintain for life, great people. The company as a whole needs to reevaluate the structuring of its front facing/service department in order to obtain long term success. If you like high stress environments where you can rant with coworkers all day, this is the Place for you. 



I loved the people there. I no longer work there but when I did everyone was so welcoming and kind. Management was good. I really loved them. I left due so mental health problems I was having not related to the company. They were very kind and understanding. My biggest complaint is when it comes to training I think there needs to be more open communication the day there is an issue. Having to wait a day or 2 before there's a response on any issues that come up can really slow down a Processor. I wish there was an easier way that when I was struggling that someone from my department was more available to help. When I would reach out I had to wait an extremely long time to get awnsers. Also they need to remember that everyone learns differently. My manager wanted me to learn how she did and didn't consider how I learned wasn't the same as her so it took me longer time to grasp things because I couldn't understand what she was teaching me. It would get confused and I thought I'd understand but then someone would say something that contradicted what I thought it meant and I was confused. They were open to questions but sometimes it hard to ask questions about things you didn't even know was a problem. It's a lot of learn as you go. Which can be frustrating at times when you aren't an expert in the subject. There's a lot of legal terms I didn't fully understand and I tried many times to try make it make sense and I couldn't grasp it. For a lot of people there they understood the legal terms and lingo so it made sense to them. For me I was very lost. I think if I want struggling with personal matters at home I would have eventually gotten the hang of it but my mental heath wasn't doing well which made it difficult to focus. This job you need to give it your undivided attention. I failed at it. I don't wish any ill will on them. They were nothing but kind to me but I struggled there. It's not an easy job but the people there make it a good place to be if you can grasp the knowledge and lingo. 

The company is great. Offers amazing benefits (almost cover 100%), you learn a LOT, and they are focused on teaching and expanding you knowledge thru training and seminars. It would be a great place to work if it wasn't for the extremely low pay in comparison to what they expect. The position was advertised as bookkeeping but is more data entry then anything else. Also very little growth opportunity. 

You are at the mercy of the clients and your supervisors and are ultimately expected to stay extended shifts as well as to come in over the weekend, especially during deadlines which are seemingly every other month, for a low base salary. They do offer Bonus incentives for working extended hours, but when calculated, comes out to just over minimum wage, and is not guaranteed. 

The supervisor(s) are not always on top of tasks, thus making you fall behind on your work, resulting in staying even more extended hours, and upset clients, who in turn complain and effect your bonus eligibility. Supervisors are also more of managers then leaders, and will look out for them selves at the expense of the employees. 

(ex. After I decided to leave, out of professional courtesy, I gave my two week notice even tho I already had an new job lined up. In return, they said since I didn't have a lot of clients or a large work load, (I was still relatively new), that there was no need for me to stick around and that I can go right then and there. It was all fine with me until I learned that my supervisor told the CEO, that I just quit on the spot and left. I will say this tho, this is what I was told by more then one of my former coworkers, so this might not be 100% accurate, but it is inline with what I experienced during my time there)

Again, the company is great. The Partners truly appreciate the work of everyone in the company and really try to do all they can to make sure employees are happy, however, it doesn't trickle down the chain of command very well.

I did my summer internship at Anderson Business Advisors. Many people are probably familiar with some version of the saying “clarity can be obtained as an outsider looking in” and I can say I have witnessed a lot of great things here. First, Anderson pays 100% of employees medical, dental, and vision insurance. As we all know insurance is expensive and Anderson takes this burden away from their employees. Second, Anderson offers employee experiences, these experiences are an opportunity for employees to pick an event that they wouldn’t normally do. This includes driving race cars, concerts, meet and dine with a celebrity chief, spa day, golf outing and tips from a pro golfer, a day at lake Mead, and many more. Anderson is a growing company and has around 250 people as of right now. This has a couple of meanings. It always an enormous amount of room for upward mobility and it means the company is more like a family. The three partners and the CEO have made it their personal mission to make sure to create a culture at work that encourages teamwork and something that can only be explained as a family setting. What I mean by that is, all the partners and the CEO have an open-door policy and want to hear from every employee. This job is technically a corporate job, but it doesn’t feel anything like one (in a good way). As with any growing company there are going to be some growing pains and Anderson knows that. I have never seen an executive team work so well to figure out what the problems are going to be ahead of time to make sure that employees feel the minimal amount. I could go on and on but I think I’ll leave some of the good things out so you can experience them for yourself.

I work in the tax department and all of the colleagues I interact with regularly are fun and easy-going, but know how to get work done. Whenever I have a question, it's easy to go ask my managers how to handle a specific tax situation so that I can move forward with a return. Our managers provide regular training opportunities during slower periods throughout the year so that the department is up-to-date on Anderson's strategies so that we can help our clients implement those strategies for maximum tax savings. 

I've been with Anderson for more than 3 years and they have been growing ever since - our department has more than tripled since I started in order to keep up with the demand. In addition, salary and benefits have gone up and are more competitive with the industry. 

The company creates a fun work environment and provides opportunities for get-togethers outside of the office such as bowling leagues, soccer leagues, company picnics, Christmas parties, and employee experiences at their own expense.

The hardest part of the job is the various tax seasons consistently throughout the year. Many believe that April 15th is the busiest part of the year for tax, but we actually have pretty heavy tax work all year round which can be overwhelming at times. With Covid this year, we've had a year-long tax season, but Anderson also afforded us the ability to work from home which most took advantage of one way or another.



This company is ever growing and as they evolve, there are kinks that need to be worked out. Sometimes processes work, other times they won't but management is constantly working to ensure that every department not only benefits from each growth but that we evolve to accommodate change as well. We are given opportunities to advance our careers as they constantly provide training at no cost to the employees, we are given medical, dental, vision, 401k options (retirement), life insurance options, we have great supervisors, support staff, and teams that all support us in making sure that we're successful. Yes, the hours are sometimes long and yes, I've heard people complain about the pay not matching the amount of work that's being done but these are things that are on a constant burner because it's something that management is always trying to improve. The benefits, the support teams, the partners, and managing staff are all amazing reasons why working at Anderson is so great.

Pay is average to on the poor side considering the work that is done. This job is not easy, strong analytical skills are needed to thrive here. As well as customer service skills. College graduates in accounting get tested by the level of difficulty and learning curve you will be faced with. This can be seen as a positive if you are driven to learn. If you are expecting an easy job you will not make it. This job will test you. I think this job is best suited for people just starting out in their careers. You will get great accounting/bookkeeping experience. Your understanding of financial statements and tax deductions, and general business acumen will improve dramatically. The other good employee fit for this job are parents because Anderson is great at accommodating busy schedules. In addition, you truly do make a difference in clients lives, which feels good. As you progress and become good at your job, they wont pay you for that, this is why there is high turnover. Anderson could be 5 stars if they paid more. So get experience, conquer the workload, and don't expect them to pay you enough to stay long term. To recap, if you are a parent, enjoy the flexible schedule. If you are starting your career, soak up as much tax/bookkeeping knowledge as you can. Do not expect to get paid enough money after you have soaked up all that knowledge. So the value in working here is knowledge and flexibility. 

For the first month after training, I was given data entry work to do for my team.  When my client list was assigned (44 clients), none of them were current, 3 were 3 years past due, and most of the remaining were a year or older.  There were several clients that had not provided documents in order for work to be done but even those who had, the work was either done incorrectly or not done at all even though clients were charged against their credit card monthly for services.  When I requested help bringing clients current, it was late coming and then not as promised.  In addition, 45 hour work weeks became mandatory making the salary paid even worse.  Though my supervisor promised to help, she was also making arrangements at the same time to get me terminated.  So, don't trust management to say what they mean and mean what they say.  I really had high hopes going into the position only to be severely disappointed and mislead.  Though I did my best with an unrealistic client load and felt bad for the clients not getting the service they had paid for long before I was employed, it didn't stop me from being terminated and HR listed the reason as poor work performance. I don't think they have a real picture of what is going on in the bookkeeping department and management isn't going to tell the truth to anyone outside of the department either.  My strong suggestion would be to avoid employment with this company at all costs.  

This has been a very enjoyable experience for me. Overall, Anderson is a great place to work if you don't like being micromanaged. If you work well independently, then you will be left alone to do your work.

Unfortunately, Anderson has made some serious gaffes that have tarnished their stellar reputation. That's a story for another day; however, it does affect my overall happiness at my job. I like working at a company knowing that it is a company with integrity and is highly respected by their clients and the public. Unfortunately, that's not the case. They let greed get in the way and grew too fast. 

Management needs a lot of help. I often wonder who's running the asylum. Many new hires are not really qualified to be doing the job they were hired to do. The company grew too fast in the past several years, and they never adjusted. They are paying the price for it now.

Overall, it's a great company to work for. They provide great benefits and holiday treats. Salary increases have been good although the pay is much lower than industry standards.
