Headquartered in Indianapolis, Blue blends accounting with accountability and advising with advocacy to provide consulting and certified public accounting services to organizations throughout the Midwest. Since 1970, we have maintained a solid reputation for serving clients with quality business advice, consulting assistance and compliance services.
From the beginning, we’ve believed that an independent accounting firm should provide management with suggestions and ideas that will enhance the success of the entire organization. This philosophy has worked well for us. We’ve become one of the largest CPA and consulting firms in the country and take pride in the Midwestern focus that lets us work side-by-side with our clients.
