Ardiah: Where Growth Takes Root

Ardiah: Where Growth Takes Root

By Chris Austin, President of Ardiah

We’re proud to unveil our new slogan—“Ardiah: Where Your Growth Takes Root.” It’s more than just a fresh tagline; it’s a reflection of the incredible growth happening behind the scenes at Ardiah and the exciting path we’re paving forward—for us, and for you.

Previously, we operated under the motto “Your focus is growth, we’ll do the rest.” That message served us well for years. But today, we’re not just supporting your growth—we’re helping plant it, nurture it, and scale it to new heights. Your growth doesn’t just happen alongside Ardiah—it takes root here.

Why the Change?

This shift didn’t happen by accident. Over the last few months, we’ve made significant investments in our team, our tools, and the way we deliver services. These strategic changes have expanded our capabilities while holding firm to what’s always made Ardiah special—our local roots, personal service, and deep commitment to our clients.

We’ve brought on seasoned professionals with decades of experience in:

  • More in-depth QuickBooks Online expertise 

  • Financial data analysis

  • Custom programming for financial institutions

  • Hospitality management and guest services leadership

  • Database management and business intelligence

These aren’t just impressive résumés—they’re game-changers for our clients. Our upgraded team allows us to deliver:

  • Sharper financial insights

  • Stronger internal systems for accuracy and speed

  • More strategic bookkeeping and accounting solutions

  • Streamlined payroll services with fast, reliable support

  • Expanded consulting to help you make better financial decisions

Big-League Experience. Small-Business Feel.

With these upgrades, Ardiah now operates with the capacity and systems of a national firm—yet we remain true to our local identity. You’ll never be treated like a number here. We answer our phones. We know your name. And we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that small and mid-sized businesses face in Maine and beyond.

Planting Roots with Our Clients

This new era at Ardiah means a deeper partnership with the clients we serve. Whether you need full-service payroll, bookkeeping, accounting, tax prep, or financial systems consulting—we have the team in place to meet your needs today and as you grow.

And don’t forget—we’re also a leading force in payment solutions. Our continued partnerships with top-tier payment processors and software providers mean better rates, better tools, and better outcomes for your business. As your local agent and advocate, we’ll always seek the best fit for your business, whether you’re a startup or an established brand.

Our Promise

As we embrace our new identity, “Where Your Growth Takes Root,” we’re doubling down on everything that’s always made Ardiah great: reliability, expertise, transparency, and local commitment. We’re excited to help your business grow stronger and smarter—with roots planted firmly in the systems, service, and support we now offer at a whole new level.

Let’s grow together.
