We view our role in the financial reporting process as an opportunity to provide constructive solutions for maximizing your company's profitability and efficiency. We provide financial reporting on all three levels of assurance:
We can provide as much or as little assistance as you require based on the complexity of your business, training and expertise of your staff and quality of information you need.
The foundation of any business is its liquid assets. We understand the importance of making sure all accounts remain reconciled in a timely manner and can help you as much as you need.
Choosing the right accounting software and implementing it properly is vital to the success of many businesses. We can help in the selection and setup of your system. We will begin the process by understanding what type of information you want to have available to you and how you want to use it.
As a business grows, it must hire more employees, which can result in increased payroll administration. We can assist you in implementing the controls necessary to ensure a reliable, efficient, and effective payroll system.

Many banks require borrowers to provide compiled or reviewed personal financial statements. We can help you comply by preparing the statements in accordance with our professional standards.

We gauge our worth by the personal and business successes of our clients. We can help your business identify areas negatively affecting profitability and growth and work with you to develop solutions that are practical and technically sound. In addition to acting as a sounding board for management, we provide comprehensive, flexible strategies that address the issues affecting your business. The following is just a few of the areas in which we provide consulting services:
Choosing the right accounting software and implementing it properly is vital to the success of many businesses. We can help in the selection and setup of your system. We will begin the process by understanding what type of information you want to have available to you and how you want to use it.
Choosing the form of entity of your business (e.g. corporation (S or C), sole proprietor, limited liability company…) is a crucial decision that can have longstanding tax implications, positive or negative. We can assist you in evaluating the pros and cons of each entity type to help you determine the most advantageous form of business for your company.
There are many reasons that a business may need valued and the result can vary dramatically. We can help you place the appropriate value on your business for buy/sell purposes, estate and gift planning purposes, divorce or any other reason.
Structuring the purchase or sale of a business properly is a critical step in the process of buying or selling a business. Our competent staff has experience to guide you through the acquisition/disposition process by addressing such issues as cash flow analysis and tax considerations.
It is important to plan for the success of your business when you dispose of your ownership. The future success usually impacts the amount you are able to realize upon its sale. Planning for that succession shouldn’t be taken lightly. Let us help you formulate a plan that makes sense for your long-term benefit.
A business can be profitable and still run into trouble due to cash flow issues. We can forecast and evaluate your company's financial condition, estimate financing requirements, and track cash-flow sources and uses.
While we are not computer programmers or software vendors, we can assist you in the selection and implementation of your nonaccounting software. All information in a business somehow relates to the financial statements. We can help you assess the best way to get nonfinancial information properly reflected in your financial statements. We can also provide guidance on software interface projects to streamline your systems to be as efficient and accurate as possible.
A primary reason for owning your own business is to provide for financial freedom, both while you are working and after retirement. We can help you create a path to that financial freedom and navigate the problems and opportunities you face.
The laws governing the amounts that may be contributed to tax qualified retirement and health and welfare benefit plans are constantly changing. We can help you continue to maximize the benefit of these tax provisions for you, your employees and family.
Building wealth is a life-long process for most people. Keeping that wealth and distributing it the way you want it distributed can be a complex process. We can assist you with those decisions so that you maximize your return during and after your lifetime.

Dealing with the Internal Revenue Service, your state department of revenue or a local taxing authority can be intimidating if you don’t do it on a regular basis. Failing to properly communicate with them, providing misinformation or missing deadlines can be very costly. We can take this burden away from you by representing your interests in a professional manner.
Many of our clients are responsible for collecting and submitting sales taxes in many different jurisdictions. We can assist your company in the compilation of information and preparation of sales tax returns in an efficient and timely manner.
