Focused on Community

We believe that better run businesses not only create more jobs but create more sustainable jobs. Stronger, more sustainable jobs help to improve the standard of living within our community.

  • "We have worked with FFI as our accounting team for a year now. What I find most pleasing, aside from their much-needed expertise, is that it is like working with more members of our own team. They don't feel like a hired vendor, but rather like an extension of our staff. And what a great extension indeed!"

    — COO, Educational Services Company

  • "FFI has been exceptionally responsive to our needs, truly embracing our goals as their own and helping us advance our mission in significant ways. We particularly appreciate the HR team's dedication, which has been highly responsive in addressing unforeseen personnel matters. We value our partnership with FFI, and their extensive expertise is matched only by their kindness and understanding."
