Tax Planning and Return Preparation Services
Expertise. Peace of mind. These are the things that you can expect your tax advisor to provide. We view our relationship with each of our clients as an ongoing partnership and strive to provide you with quality, up-to-date tax return preparation and advice. We keep abreast of current tax laws throughout the year to minimize your tax liabilities and to maximize your future opportunities.
Whether you are an individual or operate a multi-tiered corporation or partnership, our partners and staff can accommodate your needs for tax planning and preparation.
Auditing Services
Third parties relying on your financial statements often require an audit for assurance. In order to conduct an audit, we examine your company's financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. An audit requires us to examine internal controls and to complete substantial testing of the information underlying the financial statements. We then document our opinion as to whether the statements are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Business Valuation Services
Divorce
Fair valuation of a spouse's interest in a closely held business or professional practice is often the most critical issue in equitably dividing a marital estate. Usually, the determination of fair value or fair market value will have a very lasting financial impact on both spouses. Expect reasoned analysis consistent with the unique facts and circumstances of your case.
Shareholder Disputes
In a small business environment, fights among shareholders can be the death knell for the business. Whether the fight is over oppressive behavior of a controlling shareholder or over deadlock, our valuation services establish a monetary target or parameter for dispute resolution.
Estate & Gift Tax Matters
The litigation begins with the IRS when the estate or gift tax return is filed. Whether you are trying to meet the adequate disclosure requirements for a gift tax return or document fair market value for an estate, we are qualified appraisers as that term is defined in the Treasury Regulations.
Contract and Tort Cases Damage
Whether it is lost profits, diminution in overall business value or complete destruction of a business, our valuation services can be relied upon to demonstrate damage.
Look to us for professional valuation services. We practice in accordance with standards promulgated by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the American Society of Appraisers (ASA) and the Appraisal Standards Board, Uniform Standards of professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
