Backgrounder

The Founder

After working for years in different environments, from public accounting to private industry, Ken Jones, CPA, still found himself searching for the idealistic “perfect job.” He had a vision of starting every morning excited about what opportunities and challenges the day would bring, operating in a team environment composed of the brightest and most creative minds and focusing all of his efforts on delivering value and excellent service.

An entrepreneur at heart, Ken realized the only way to realize his vision was to create it. In 2000, he did just that and founded The Lyndon Group, LLC. Lyndon Group is a professional services firm specializing in project engagements in accounting, finance, IT, governance, risk and compliance serving public and private companies around the world.

The Model: Experience, Value and Results

From the beginning, Ken stayed true to his vision, setting Lyndon Group apart from other similar companies. Knowing that a service based business is only as good as the people it employs; Ken sought out highly knowledgeable and talented individuals who shared his same mindset. Lyndon Group’s professionals have a minimum of 10 years of diversified experience within Big 4 accounting firms, industry-leading corporations and successful emerging growth organizations which gives them an understanding of a company from the client’s perspective.

Lyndon Group differs from traditional professional service providers by having a low risk and overhead profile. Because Lyndon Group does not conduct certified audits or support a tax research group, it does not include these costs, or other non-client valued overhead, in its billing rates. This gives Lyndon Group the ability to create real value for our clients in the services that they receive from experienced professionals.

Lyndon Group also differentiates itself in its flexibility and scalability of its service delivery to clients. They can provide resources for a short term project of a few hours, on a part time basis or a larger team to work with clients as part of a larger co-sourced or completely outsourced team.

Lyndon Group’s expertise, value, and flexibility all translate into what Ken views as most important - superior client service. Not only does Lyndon Group’s model result in great client satisfaction, it also gives all the associates a sense of ownership in the firm. Team members strive to be quality conscious and results-minded, always putting forward the extra effort to stay ahead of the competition. As a result Lyndon Group does not engage in advertising campaigns or promotions. Lyndon Group receives the majority of its business through referrals from clients, Big 4 and regional CPA firms, attorneys and other professional service providers. Whether assisting a multinational, billion dollar public company or an emerging growth, entrepreneurial business, Lyndon Group will deliver experience, value, stellar results to clients.

The Services

With an enviable reputation in extensive capabilities, Lyndon Group provides a unique range of services specializing in accounting, finance, IT, governance, risk and compliance.

When the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 raised havoc within accounting departments and audit committees around the world, Lyndon Group was ready to tackle the challenge. Lyndon Group has been working with publicly traded clients of all sizes on Sarbanes-Oxley compliance from the beginning.

Lyndon Group is also a valuable resource for specialized regulatory reporting, IT infrastructure and audit preparedness which are areas that often leave companies exposed. They can also serve corporate development activities through its extensive acquisition due diligence and integration practice.

Today, Lyndon Group professionals are engaged at some of the best-known companies in the world. Each client benefits from Lyndon Group’s experience in identifying and implementing best practices learned along the way.

The Future

With such a wide variety of services to offer, it’s no surprise The Lyndon Group is experiencing continual growth in both reputation and clientele. To accommodate the inevitable escalation of business, Ken anticipates increasing the staff exponentially over the next several years.

Ken plans to accomplish this growth by working from the inside out, capitalizing on the core team’s key strengths. By maximizing the potential of all employees, Ken trusts Lyndon Group will replicate itself as it experiences continual success. Leading by example, he uses the same “best practices” solutions advised to clients within Lyndon Group as well.
