Klabo, Brown & Co., LLC provides a full range of accounting services to individuals, farms, businesses and organizations in Aberdeen and across northeastern South Dakota. Fees depend on the complexity of your situation and are always confirmed in writing before work begins.

Learn more →You don't need a referral or an existing relationship to work with us. Most new clients start with a short phone call or an office visit where we learn about your situation and you learn how we work.
Clients come to us from Aberdeen, Groton, Ipswich, Columbia, Warner, Bath and the surrounding communities in Brown County and northeastern South Dakota. Some come at a transition point — a new business, a first employee, an inheritance, a farm succession plan. Many simply want an accountant they can reach in July, not just in March.
Every engagement at our firm begins with a written engagement letter. It sets out, in plain language:
Nothing is prepared or filed before that letter is signed. It protects you, it protects us, and it means there are never surprises about scope or cost.
Accounting fees depend on the complexity of your situation — the forms involved, the condition of your records and the time required. We quote fees after reviewing your documents and confirm them in the engagement letter before work begins.
