Business Services
How does your
advice model work?
The
focus for our firm is providing relevant advice. Here is how we build a
foundation for the advice:
-
We provide industry comparisons for your
size business to help you determine the areas that need your
attention
-
We bring strategic planning tools to your
business which focus your efforts to create the business you want,
not the business that just happens.
-
We work with you on your accounting system
to insure that it provides you with meaningful reports of your
current operations
-
We keep you in compliance with tax reporting
(filing income tax returns, payroll returns, 1099 forms etc.)
-
We prepare tax projections and from them
offer tax strategies for the business and the shareholders
-
We
bring other professionals to the table to provide you guidance on
retirement plans, investments, business succession planning, estate
planning, corporate contracts, and human resources.
-
How can I reduce
my tax burden for my business?
With your input, we design a plan to
lower your income tax and recommend to you the business form that
will help you reach your goals, whether that be as a corporation,
partnership, sole proprietorship or limited liability company. We
prepare and file your tax returns timely. We only extend our
business tax returns when it is our client's preference to do so or
when we do not have all the information to complete the return in a
timely manner.
-
How and when
should I sell (or transfer) my business?
We guide business owners in the process
of developing and implementing an exit strategy. This includes
determining how and when you will leave the company, who you will
sell to, how you will transfer ownership. If a family member or a
key employee is buying the business we provide protection of the
plan through a buy-sell agreement and determine the effects of the
plan on your estate planning strategy. For family owned businesses,
we consult with the current and next generation owners to insure
that the business interest is transferred to the next generation
with the least tax liability possible, considering estate, gift and
income tax consequences of the transfer.
-
How do I grow my
business? Through a process of strategic planning, industry analysis, setting
& prioritizing goals, setting definitive action items and working
with you to keep on task; we assist business owners in taking their
business to the size and level they desire.
-
What resources
will I need for retirement?
Many small business owners neglect
planning for their own retirement. We will recommend and design a
retirement plan that makes sense for you, the owners and your
employees.
-
How do I track the
business financial performance?
Our aim is to prepare financial
statements that are useful for you as a business owner. We will work
with you to understand and utilize your financial information as a
tool to building a more profitable business.
-
What if my staff
needs accounting support?
We will work with your accounting staff
to insure that your internal accounting system provide you with
reports that make sense to you and assists you in your business
decisions.
-
How will you bill
me? We
believe that our clients should never be surprised by a bill from
our office. In that spirit, we will prepare a fixed price agreement
(FPA) with all of our business clients. The agreement will set forth
the price you will pay for scheduled services for a one year period,
and will be reviewed and agreed upon again each year.
