| Our commitment to our clients extends beyond audit and tax compliance issues. We strive to keep our clients abreast of new changes within accounting and reporting regulations, tax laws, the changing credit environment, and general economic conditions. While our focus is to be a superior CPA service provider, we do offer additional services, such as strategic consulting, communications with the taxing authorities, expansion, mergers and acquisitions, operations or transactional consulting, and internal controls analysis and design. Because our firm is relatively small, our clients benefit by getting personalized, quality service that is noticably a cut above our competition by comparison. Below we have listed the services that we offer to our clients along with a brief description. Please feel free to inquire about a service if you do not see it listed. If it is not a service we provide, we would be more than happy to refer you to a qualified professional. You may contact any of our partners by going to the Contact Information page and selecting Firm Contacts. |

| Audit Services |
| We view our role in the financial reporting process as an opportunity to provide constructive solutions for maximizing your company's profitability and efficiency. Audits differ from reviews and compilations, as they are an intensive examination of your company's systems and records providing the highest level of assurance. Our audit approach is, and has always been, risk and business based. Our firm's goal is to audit the business, not just the books. As a result, we focus on areas of risk to our clients and the users of the audited financial statements. Understanding the underlying business, its personnel, customers, vendors, and processes, allows us to assess risk within the organization and tailor our audits to address those areas with greater risk. Generally, the higher financial statement risk also equates to higher business risk, so we are focussing our audits on the most important areas to the Company. |
