Financial Statements
Most small-medium size business's (especially closely held and non publicly traded companies) it usually is not necessary for you need Reviewed or Audited Financial Statements. In these cases we will produce Assembled or Compiled Financial Statements for a fraction of the cost of the of the audited or reviewed statements. These Assembled and Compiled Financial Statements generally include only a Profit and Loss Statement and a Balance Sheet of the enterprise. They omit footnotes and most of the related financial statements ( i.e. Statement of Cash Flows and Statement of Retained Earnings ) that if included would provide more detailed financial information about the company and we provide no form of assurance on them. We will provide these statements on a monthly, quarterly or any other frequency as desired. These statements are usually provided for internal and management use with limited external use.

Due to the extreme liability and legal issues involved with Reviewed and Audited Financial Statements, our firm does not directly issue these statements. We have made arrangements with a reliable, local CPA firm that we have been associated with in the past, to prepare these statements on behalf of any of our clients that may need or want these financial statements. Reviews would be the next level above Compilations and Audits would provide the best level of assurance as to the accuracy of the financial statements.

Cash Flow & Budgeting Analysis
Have you ever asked the question, where does all my money go? If you have, your not alone. Many successful and profitable business owners have also asked this question at one time or another. In this uncertain day and age, with increased competition, a questionable economy and increased costs of doing business, more and more business owners are seeking the advise of CPA's and others, to help improve the bottom line. Two useful tools in providing this guidance involves the use of budgeting and cash flow analysis. We can also provide a detailed comparison of income and expense items from period to period. We may be able to spot unusual items such as cost overruns, under billing on accounts, overcharging by vendors or lost discounts. Based on our experience and background, we may be able to spot things you or your employees may not be able to. Many people do not understand all the areas that a CPA may be able to help.
