Our Accounting Services
Tax Preparation
We have made significant investments in our tax preparation systems and training of our experienced accounting staff. Our research enables us to accurately and efficiently prepare returns for all types of entities including individuals, corporations, partnerships, trusts, estates, and not-for-profit organizations.
Financial Reports
We view our role in the financial reporting process as an opportunity to provide constructive solutions for maximizing your company’s profitability and efficiency. We provide financial review financial reports and compilation financial reports. We review the completed financial statements with our clients so that they have a better understanding of their business. The financial statements we prepare are a useful tool for management making decisions.
Investment Advisory Services
Our firm has been assisting clients with their investments by working with them and their financial advisors. We will review the client’s investment portfolios with them and their financial advisors to make sure that our clients are getting the best possible returns on their investments.
IRS and New York State Representation
We have years of experience interacting with many of the taxing authorities and have achieved a level of competence that can ensure that our clients are being properly represented before the various federal and state taxing agencies.
Cash Flow & Budgeting Analysis
A business may be profitable and still run into trouble due to cash flow issues. We can forecast and evaluate your company’s financial condition, estimate financing requirements and track cash-flow sources and uses.
Estate & Trust Planning
Effective estate and trust planning facilitates the orderly transfer of your assets to your beneficiaries, provides security for your surviving spouse and can reduce or eliminate the tax due on the transfer of your business and other assets. For business owners, providing for business continuity and succession of ownership is essential
Retirement Planning
Successful implementation and periodic review of your financial plan will ensure financial independence during your working years and through your retirement years.
Financial Planning
A properly structured financial plan enables you to face any financial challenge that may present itself at each stage of your life. Through the financial planning process, we can help you assess your financial needs and develop strategies that will enable you to achieve your goals and strengthen your financial security.
Bookkeeping
Meaningful, well-organized financial records ensure that your business operations will run more efficiently on a daily basis and are the foundation of a successful business. Our qualified staff can assist you with any bookkeeping needs including bank reconciliations, so that you know what your business activities are each and every month rather than once a year.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Finding the right business partner for your company can be a difficult task. We can assist you in the merger or acquisition process by assessing such critical elements as tax considerations; competitive tactics and position; financial impact and cash flow considerations
Business Entity Selection
Choosing the form of entity of your business (e.g. “S” corporation, sole proprietor, Limited Liability Company) is a crucial decision that can have longstanding tax implications, positive or negative. We can assist you in evaluating the pros and cons of each entity type to help you determine the most advantageous form of business entity for your company.
Business Succession Planning
Effective coordination of the transition of your business to your successors is critical to ensure its continued success once you decide to remove yourself from the company’s day to day operations. With a solid background in tax and other financial matters, we are fully qualified to address the complex issues of business continuation and can assist you in developing a strategically sound plan.
Payroll Services
As a business grows, it must hire more employees, which can result in increased payroll administration. We can assist you in implementing the controls necessary to ensure a reliable, efficient, and effective payroll system. Our firm can also help you develop a payroll system and prepare all necessary payroll tax returns in a timely manner.
Sales Tax Services
Many of our clients collect and submit sales taxes in many different areas. We can assist your business in the compilation of information and preparation of sales tax reports in an efficient and timely manner.
