Are you getting ready for an audit but your accounting records are incomplete or perhaps you have a backlog of reconciliations?  We can help your organization get ready for an audit.  This will help you save a lot of money in audit fees.  Did you know that the CPA firm performing your audit can’t help you get your accounting records in order for the audit. Independence is required to perform an audit and helping you get your accounting records in order would violate that fundamental professional requirement.

Accurate accounting throughout the year will benefit your decision making and so much more.  However, another benefit is that it allows more accurate tax planning and fewer surprises come tax time.  If tax time is a nightmare getting everything together plus the uncertainty, we can help.

We can put together a program where we assist you once a month to get your accounting in order and tie your numbers directly into our tax preparation services.  This will allow us to do more planning to reduce your tax bill.  See our tax services.
