What our clients are saying…

 

Mueller dotKonnect helps maintain clean financial books. They also manage our vendor bill payment process. Their cloud-based accounting solution provides automated and streamlined approval process with appropriate controls.

— CEO / Imperial Aviation

Mueller dotKonnect moved our accounting system to the cloud and also implemented a well-defined and controlled AP process using cloud technology, enabling me to manage the outflow of funds very effectively and on the go.

— CEO / LFAM

Mueller dotKonnect set up internal control systems to manage our Accounts Payable and employee expense management in an effective manner with cloud-based solution and defined process.

— CEO / IT Crats Inc

Mueller dotKonnect’s transform, manage, empower approach has shaped our company to meet our growing needs. Its Controller and CFO Service clearly embeds a team rather than an individual providing coverage for data processing, validation, and advisory giving us the same benefit of engaging a top tier consulting firm but at a fraction of the cost.

— VP / Tech Services Co

Mueller dotKonnect manages payroll for our 200+ employees spread across multiple states. There is a lot of maintenance with respect to state specific tax compliance. They manage all the interactions with the employees and address concerns, issues and in some cases even help with their personal tax situations.

— CEO / ePace Technologies Inc

The team is very proactive and engages in a collaborative manner. Their online ‘Qount’ system helps to gather tax data and record all communications really well. There is a huge benefit that we gain from their specialization in both US and India tax compliance.

— CEO / SDI Logic Inc
