Accounting Software Selection & Implementation
With the number of computerized accounting software packages available for small businesses and individuals growing every day, selecting one that is right for you has become increasingly difficult. As accounting professionals, we are exposed to most programs through client experiences and trade journals, as well as hands-on use. Our experienced staff can counsel with you on the system that best meets your needs.

Asset Protection
An asset protection, or wealth preservation, plan makes the enforcement of judgments against protected assets nearly impossible, and allows the owner of protected assets to retain substantial control over them. Our firm can assist you with an asset protection plan that may include family limited partnerships or offshore trusts.

Audits, Reviews and Compilations
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:

Audit- an intensive examination with the highest level of assurance

Review - some analytical procedures conducted with limited assurance

Compilation - based upon client information provided and used primarily for internal use.

Business Succession Planning
Effective coordination of the transition of your business to your successors is critical to ensure its continued success once you decide to remove yourself from the company’s day-to-day operation. With a solid background in tax and other financial matters, we are fully qualified to address the complex issues of business continuation and can assist you in developing a strategically-sound plan.

Business Valuations
Whether you are thinking of buying a new business or are in the midst of a difficult divorce, the amount attached to the value of your business is important. We can provide useful and objective analysis to assist you in the valuation of any business in which you have an interest.

Cash Flow & Budgeting Analysis
A business can be profitable and still encounter problems due to cash flow issues. We can help avoid this by forecasting and evaluating your company’s financial condition, estimating financing requirements, and tracking cash flow sources and uses.

Cost Segregation Studies
In today's world of longer depreciation lives, businesses need to secure the most rapid depreciation possible in order to decrease current tax outlays. We can analyze your building and break out certain costs which can be written off over a shorter useful life, thereby increasing your after tax cash flows.

Estate Planning
Effective estate planning facilitates the orderly transfer of assets to your beneficiaries, provides security for your surviving spouse, and can reduce or eliminate the tax due on the transfer of your business and other assets. For business owners, providing for business continuity and succession of ownership is essential. We can guide you through the complex process of getting your financial affairs in order.

Healthcare Consulting
With the rapidly evolving state of healthcare, the industry’s business and accounting practices must be prepared to keep pace. Our firm can assist healthcare providers in everything from mergers and divestitures to reimbursements. We also review clinic business models to find ways of maximizing revenue while minimizing costs.

IRS Representation
During our years of experience dealing with many taxing authorities, we have achieved a level of competence that can ensure our clients they are being properly represented before the various federal and state tax agencies.

International Taxation
Our experience with the taxation of U.S. residents working abroad and foreign citizens working in the U.S. has provided us with an extensive base of knowledge in the area of international taxation.

Litigation Support
Litigation support involves using accounting and auditing techniques to quantify economic damages pursuant to existing or pending litigation. We have experienced, competent staff who can compile information efficiently to assist in the calculation and documentation of any potential economic loss or damage.

Mergers & Acquisitions
Finding the right business partner for your company can be a difficult task. We can assist you in the merger or acquisition process by assessing such critical elements as tax considerations, product/service compatibility, competitive tactics and position, financial impact, and cash flow considerations.

Operational Reviews
An operational review is an excellent tool to measure both the efficiency of your business/organization as well as the degree to which your business/organization's assets are adequately safeguarded. Our operational review staff is trained to interview your personnel and document your systems with an emphasis on efficiency of operations while maintaining maximum asset protection. The depth and design of our operational review procedures are tailored to the specific needs of your business/organization.

Outsourced Internal Audit Services
Outsourcing the internal audit function makes sense for many small to medium size businesses. We have a number of professionals who assist nonattest clients in this role on a quarterly or monthly basis, including one Certified Internal Auditor. Each of these engagements is customized for the particular client based on the needs of their Board of Directors or Audit Committee.

Pension & Profit Sharing Plans
Qualified retirement plans, such as defined-contribution or defined benefit plans, Keoghs and SEPs, can provide significant tax advantages for closely-held businesses and self-employed individuals. Our qualified staff can assist you in evaluating the type of pension plan that will best serve the retirement needs of you and your employees.

Tax Planning & Preparation
Tax planning and preparation form a winning combination for our successful individual and business clients. Whether you are an individual or a multi-tiered partnership, our experienced staff can develop tax strategies that take advantage of new tax laws and legislation.
