Premium Client Service Putting People First

No matter the nature of an engagement, we treat every client as our best client. We always strive to exceed expectations on both a project level and a personal level, ensuring that all professionals we work with receive quality service with every matter.

+90 Overall Net Promoter Score

Since our firm's inception, we have taken great pride in putting clients first. Our disciplined approach to premium client service is based on our principled approach to understanding clients' needs, always adding value for our clients, and setting and managing client expectations, all while providing unparalleled responsiveness with great communication. Stout's professionals are committed to their work and bring a positive, team-oriented approach to any engagement, big or small, no matter the location, industry, or task at hand.

Feedback from our clients is important, and we always want to make sure that we provide the best possible client service and that we help clients achieve their goals. To get a better understanding of client satisfaction, each month we survey our clients about our overall performance. Our net promoter score – a measure of our clients' willingness to recommend Stout’s services on a scale of -100 to +100 – is consistently in the +90s, which is indicative of our clients’ trust.
