Below are the main areas of business and individual accounting you can expect when you hire our firm to review your bookkeeping and develop a plan for your future.

Audit, Review and Compilation

Audit, review and compilation are three distinct levels of service relating to financial statement reporting. These reports allow owners and investors to evaluate their business and guide them as they make management decisions with regards to business finances.

We provide constructive solutions for maximizing your company’s profitability and efficiency via three avenues:

Audit

A necessary tool to attest to the accuracy of your company’s financial statements, this process involves a critical review and verification of financial information, providing the highest level of assurance on how your company is performing financially.

While the audit takes a look back in time, we assess your current procedures and processes to recommend practical suggestions to strengthen internal controls for your future operations.

Review

A thorough review of your accounts provides limited assurance to investors or banks that a company’s financial statements are satisfactory. We utilize industry knowledge and analytical procedures to evaluate your business and provide a fair analysis. For example, we offer accounting for the real estate and construction industry in order to help key stakeholders determine the return they are receiving for the investments they have made.

Compilation

Beginning by gathering details about the industry and our client, we move forward by assessing the financial statements to look for possible errors, then conclude by presenting the documents to management, without any opinion or assurance. Your custom financial report will include in-depth analysis of the current state of your accounting as well as a detailed plan of action for the future of your business.
