Every three years, our accounting and auditing practice is subjected to the Peer Review of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) . A peer review consists of an outside auditor looking over our practices and procedures that we use in preparing compiled, reviewed, and audited financial statements. Our most recent peer review resulted in an ''unqualified'' opinion. That is the equivalent of receiving an ''A'' grade.

We prepare financial statements for our clients for two primary purposes. First, they provide management with a business ''scorecard'' which depicts performance and the financial health of their organization. While analyzing our client’s transactions, we often identify areas where changes can be implemented to improve the profitability of the business.

Secondly, financial statements are often prepared to satisfy the requirements of financial institutions or bonding companies. We work closely with several area bankers to understand what information they need in order to be responsive to our client’s credit needs.

An expanding area of our practice has been assuming the accounting functions of certain clients. These clients want to focus their attention on selling their service or product, and do not want to have their attention diverted by back-office functions such as recording transactions, writing payroll checks, or reconciling the bank statement. This service is ideal for those clients who do not need a full time bookkeeper, but who recognize the importance of maintaining accurate records.

All of our accounting services are integrated closely with our ''Grow Your Business'' consulting services. After all, ''failing to plan is the equivalent of planning to fail!''
