ASSURANCE AND ACCOUNTING SERVICES

Audit and Attestation Services for Various Industries

Financial Statement Audit – The audit report is the highest level of independent CPA services available. We verify by sight, discussions with management, and by assessment of internal controls and procedures that a company’s financial reporting is presented fairly in all material respects with the financial reporting framework. We document any changes in financial accounting methods. Our finished product is in full compliance with the American Institute of CPA’s auditing standards and other governing and regulatory agencies.
Financial Statement Reviews – The review is a mid-level service that provides independent evaluation and assurance without the full cost and extent of an audit. In it, we document our assessment of a company’s financial books and records, based on analytical tests and procedures as well as certain calculations of financial tests and ratios. While the details are not as extensive as a full audit, the review gives limited assurance that a company’s financial statements require no material modifications to be in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Financial Statement Compilations – The compilation is the lowest level of attestation services a CPA can provide. To accomplish this service, we compile the books and records of a company but we do not perform any assessment of procedures, nor is there any verification of the reported details. It is simply a full report of the company as it is presented by the company’s management. No opinion is expressed about the accuracy of the underlying financial information.

Estate, Trust, and Gift Services

  • Estate tax returns – the total value of an estate’s assets may require a tax return to be filed.  We prepare these returns and offer counsel on post-mortem tax planning opportunities for the estate and beneficiaries.  Even when the total value of an estate’s assets may not require a tax return we can assist with post-mortem tax planning to reduce the potential tax liability of a surviving spouse’s estate.
  • Estate and trust income tax returns – the administration of an estate or trust often requires the fiduciary to file an income tax return.  We prepare the necessary tax forms and also advise with distribution rules, elections and filing deadlines
  • Gift tax returns –  donors frequently transfer wealth during their lifetime and the nature of the gifting can come in a variety of forms.  We prepare the gift tax returns to disclose the gifts, preserve applicable exemptions and minimize tax.
  • Estate planning – Our experienced firm works closely with law firms to provide guidance and expertise in the estate planning arena.  We also enhance the attorneys’ services by providing their clients with estate, fiduciary and gift tax returns.
