What Our Clients Are Saying

Star Star Star Star Star
Our school has been in good hands with FOI – they are a partner in our success!

Founded in 1980, for more than 40 years, the Michigan School of Psychology has provided graduate education in Clinical Psychology, offering master’s and doctoral degree programs. Located in Farmington Hills, MI, the school enrolls approximately 200 graduate students annually. These students are preparing for careers as psychologists and psychotherapists. The doctoral program is APA accredited. An additional program offering provides curriculum in Applied Behavior Analysis – preparing graduates to work with individuals with autism. A mental health clinic provides access to low cost psychotherapy and psychological testing.

Since 2012, the Michigan School of Psychology has outsourced accounting services to FOI. As a small, non-profit organization, these services have provided essential expertise, separation of function and effectiveness of all accounting, banking, and financial procedures. This partnership has afforded a full complement of financial personnel and resources that would have otherwise been unattainable.

“The team at FOI is accessible, knowledgeable and supportive of the needs of our institution. They really see us and work collaboratively with the staff and the Board of Trustees to ensure effective operations. There is a high level of expertise available within FOI; the CFO and controller consistently provide creative and up-to-date recommendations on best financial practices. Our school has been in good hands with FOI – they are a partner in our success!”

Financial One has become an extension of our operational staff

Michigan Colleges Alliance (MCA) is a nationally leading consortium of private universities and colleges.  It has partnered with Financial One for the past seven years for all of its accounting and financial management needs.  Without question, this relationship has been one of the most productive in my nearly 15 years as MCA president.  Financial One literally has become an extension of our operational staff, seamlessly integrating with MCA team members to ensure flawless financial tracking, management, and reporting.  The company’s stellar group of professionals, coupled with its knowledge of our business and close client engagement, has allowed MCA to allocate minimal resources to internal financial oversight, focusing instead on core missional activities–so important to smaller, non-profit organizations.  As a senior executive in the private higher education sector, I routinely recommend Financial One to MCA peer organizations throughout the country, who equally praise the company’s significant impact on their productivity.

We appreciate our partnership!

Lighthouse is honored to have worked alongside Financial One Accounting for the last 8 years. Their expertise was critical during our organization’s merger in 2019 and through our tremendous growth over the last few years.

Financial One was instrumental in helping both the South Oakland Shelter and Lighthouse of Oakland County board members feel confident in moving forward with our merger in 2019. Since that time, our Financial One team has stepped up to the challenge of our significant growth—sometimes in areas posing significant financial complexities. We appreciate our partnership, and I have always felt that Financial One’s leadership truly cares about our mission and success; in that way, we are more than just a client.

We look forward to working together for years to come. 

Ryan Hertz, President & CEO Lighthouse
