  • Accounting Review

    For QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online Users
  • When preparing a tax return, our firm not only reports income and expense, but we are tracking things that go on behind the scenes such as changes in equity, asset depreciation, owners' share of debt, different types of basis, etc., all of which are very important when the company is closed or sold, when assets are sold, or if there is an audit. Seemingly simple accounting entries during the year can throw these numbers out of balance and cause errors in reporting.

    Finding and correcting these errors can be time-consuming even for an accounting professional, but could save a significant amount of time and money down the road. This is why we strongly encourage our clients to hire us to do an annual review of the company's accounting records to look for "red flags" that could indicate errors in reporting. (For legal reasons, we have to state that this review is not an audit and does not offer any assurance services.)

    We offer a couple of different options below:

  • I would like:*
  • Please indicate that you understand and take full responsibility for any errors in the financial reports which result in errors in the tax return(s).*
