Baldwin And Company Owner Talks About Client-First Approach Writer / Angela Cornell Photographer / Jubilee Edgell
For many people, money is a subject of contention. Budgeting is stressful, financial planning is a difficult field to navigate, finding the right insurance policy can be a nightmare and don’t get me started on taxes. Fortunately, accountant Barry Baldwin, E.A., the owner of Baldwin And Company, specializes in making his clients’ lives easier by being a onestop-shop for all things relating to money, whether that’s with taxes, business consulting, bookkeeping, budgeting and a dozen other services. Over a thousand people across the nation appreciate Baldwin’s services. His clients span the demographic gamete from corporations, small businesses and not-for-profit organizations to individuals of all ages and economic status. Each one is treated like royalty, something that Baldwin contributes to his wife’s influence. “[Linda] is the business development for Baldwin And Company, which she is responsible for about all the business we have in Rochester — getting those accounts and keeping them. She also does that function for our clients,” Baldwin says. “I do the numbers, she does the people part of it.” Baldwin’s dad, Wayne, the firm’s founder, is also still involved in the business. “He is 82 years old and he works ‘semi’ full time. He comes and goes as he pleases and still sharp as a tack,” Barry says.
