Assurance & Advisory Services
In today’s environment, a quality audit can prepare you to better manage the risk associated with a myriad of issues you may encounter, such as building and sustaining a strong financial foundation, pursuing various financing options and strategic transaction alternatives, and implementing and sustaining business policies and procedures, to name a few.

Closely held businesses have assurance needs that often don’t require an audit. Compilations and reviews are alternatives to audit engagements that require less time and resources. The purpose of these alternatives is to enhance the credibility and reliability of a company’s financial statements when regulators, lenders, suppliers, or others request the participation of an external CPA.
With attestation engagements, we provide conclusions that confirm the reliability of written information requested of you, or used by third parties. In these engagements, we provide independent verification of information, other than financial statements, by examining, reviewing or applying agreed-upon procedures to the subject matter at hand — for example: determining your compliance with a contract or collection of receivables.
Business advisory services extend beyond the more traditional assurance services. They involve much more in-depth consultations on topics such as business succession planning, evaluating various performance standards of a business, exit strategy and analysis, and many other areas in which we can share our expertise. The purpose of these types of services is intended to deliver high value to the company.

SALT Services
Multi-state business owners may be unsure of their tax obligations due to the continuously evolving state tax landscape. Income taxes, Non-income based taxes (Activity Taxes, Gross Receipts, Franchise Taxes), and Sales tax can all have different nexus requirements. While a business may be required to file Franchise and Sales tax returns, they may not have to file an income tax return in the same state.
