Key Services

Financial Statements:

Assurance Services

We understand the need for transparency, integrity, and independence in financial reporting. Whether you need an audit, review, compilation, financial statement preparation, agreed upon procedures, or forecasts and projections, our dedicated team of experienced professionals are available to assist.

Employee Benefit Plans

We perform Employee Benefit Plan audits to ensure compliance with ERISA and other rules and regulations imposed by the Department of Labor and the IRS.

Tax:

Tax Planning & Preparation

We advise our clients of important changes in tax laws before they occur and make certain our clients are aware of and meet all filing deadlines with time to spare. Most importantly, we help our clients formulate plans to minimize tax burdens and profit from tax advantages.

Sales & Use Tax

Our services include representation during sales tax audits, filing appeals with the state, including refund petitions, sales tax consulting and research, assisting with exempt status applications, and filing for initial sales tax licenses.

State & Local Tax (SALT)

With thousands of tax jurisdictions, it is unrealistic for a business owner to maintain knowledge of each rule and regulation, but it is necessary in order to avoid incurring liabilities. After a comprehensive understanding of your business activities and operations, our SALT professionals will create a customized multistate tax approach that aligns with your current and future business goals.

Outsourced Accounting

We offer back-office support to provide your company with accurate books and reports so that you can make sound, strategic business decisions. Whether you are looking for a fractional controller or you need someone to help with everyday transactions, our team of professionals are available to assist you.
