COMPILATIONS & AUDIT PREPARATION

A compilation involves an accountant preparing or assisting in preparing financial statements without expressing any assurances that the statements are accurate, complete, and/or in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Unlike a review, few, if any, procedures are performed.
An audit is a formal examination of an organization’s accounts or financial situation. It is the top level of investigation performed on a business’ financial statement. We can help your organization prepare for external financial or regulatory audits. We will work with your internal management team to identify issues and develop and implement appropriate corrective action prior to your audit reviews. We will prepare and perform necessary testing as well as provide supporting documentation and work papers.

PAYROLL SERVICES

Are you considering outsourcing payroll? If so, you are not alone. Managing payroll is a time-consuming burden. Payroll is a necessary function of employing people, but it does not help create revenue or increase sales. Simply, payroll can be a drain on most employers’ resources. Outsourcing payroll helps reduce costs and increase available capacity for more important work.
