The following represents some of the professional services we provide to our clients:

We perform audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

We also perform reviews, compilations and basic write-up services.

A significant factor in selecting a qualified firm is its ability to provide proactive tax advice.

Corporate Tax Planning

In recent years, the burden of state, local and Federal taxation has increased for almost all businesses.  As a result, our corporate tax planning approach emphasizes a fully integrated Federal, state, and local tax strategy.  This approach ensures that all tax ramifications are reviewed and the most effective methods of controlling and minimizing all corporate income taxes are selected.

We stress planning to minimize, defer and, if possible, eliminate Federal, state and local taxes; to take advantage of all available tax incentives; to avoid the penalty provisions of the tax laws; and to avoid loss of tax credits or other carryovers.

We conduct reviews of existing compensation packages including fringe benefits and retirement plans to see that the company is getting the most for its money, and is prepared for changes in ownership in the event of redemptions, liquidations, mergers and acquisitions.


Executive Tax Services

Many executives find themselves on a financial treadmill despite salaries and benefits that are commensurate with their position.  This may divert some of their attention and energy from their business responsibilities.  Our executive tax services have been tailored to:

  • Help executives plan and organize current and long-range tax financial strategies and achieve maximum accumulation of wealth.
  • Help executives organize a family financial plan.
  • Aid executives in planning their estate.
  • Offer comprehensive financial and tax counsel to retiring executives.
