Accounting Software Selection & Implementation
Sifting through the vast array of accounting software systems available today can feel overwhelming. The best solution for your business will deliver the capabilities you need through a verified secure platform, without making you overpay for features you will never use.
We will analyze your business sector, current transactions, future plans and emerging needs, helping you to identify a software solution that balances ease of use with the flexibility to grow with your company. We will also evaluate your current technology to help you determine whether your business would be best served by locally-hosted software or a software subscription plan (Software as a Service (SaaS)).
Once you have selected the best solution for you, we will work with key personnel throughout your organization to implement the system. By ensuring that everyone knows how to best use the new software, we can help you get the most out of your investment, while maintaining security for all your critical financial data.

Business Consulting
Business success depends on timely identification of both problems and opportunities, and efficient development of strategies to respond to both. As your trusted business consultant, we combine dedication to your success with wide-ranging business acumen to offer honest, objective advice on everything from minor restructuring to preparing a business for sale.
We will take the time to learn about your company’s unique challenges, goals and current strategies. We then draw on years of business analysis experience to help you address inefficiencies, and identify and capitalize on hidden growth potential. We empower you and your team to make well-informed choices for the future of your business.
Whether you need short-term assistance with a major transition, or a long-term partner in strategic planning, we can help you unlock the full potential of your business.
Business Entity Selection
The way you structure your business has far-reaching tax and financial implications. Each business entity class—partnership, LLC, sole proprietorship, S corporation, etc.—has distinct advantages and disadvantages with respect to tax liability, personal asset protection, operational structure, and more. Selecting the best entity type for your company requires careful analysis of your business objectives.
We will thoroughly review your current transactions and business plan with you to help you find the ideal structure for your business. And because the best entity designation today might not suit your evolving needs in the future, we will also provide guidance on how to regularly reassess your business structure, and change it if appropriate.
Buying or Selling a Business
The decision to buy or sell a company can shape your future for years or even decades. The buying/selling process requires careful valuation, an exhaustive due diligence process, and in-depth research to determine the right timing for the transfer.
When the time comes to explore selling your business, we will provide support for you and your staff at every step. Our services include accurately valuing the company, vetting potential buyers, and ensuring that qualified buyers have easy access to all the information they need to fulfill due diligence obligations.
We will also partner with you when a promising opportunity to acquire a business presents itself. Our valuation services and support for due diligence give you the peace of mind of knowing that the targeted company is what it appears to be.
Estate & Trust Tax Preparation
Estate matters affect everyone. By taking proactive steps today, you can ease the way for your heirs during a very difficult time. Our services include estate planning to simplify property transfers to heirs, minimizing tax liability so heirs receive the maximum benefit, and tax preparation after a loved ones’ passing.
We will work with you and your attorney to structure your estate and/or trusts with an eye toward minimizing tax liability, smooth fulfillment of your bequeathal directives and, when possible, avoidance of the long process of probate. In the event that you wish to begin distributing assets to your heirs during your lifetime, we can also assist with IRS gift reporting requirements.
When a loved one passes away, we can prepare and file any required final tax returns for the decedent and any associated trusts. We lift the paperwork burden off your shoulders, so you can focus on the far more important matter of spending time with your family during a difficult transition.
Financial Statements
Maintaining clear, accurate and timely financial statements is one of the most impactful investments you can make in the long-term success of your business. Well-prepared statements ensure hassle-free internal and external audits, help guide management decisions, and present the stability and growth potential of your business to prospective lenders, investors or buyers.
Preparing the primary components of a financial statement – mainly the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and statement of shareholders’ equity – requires thorough record keeping and detailed analysis. Clear, easy-to-read presentation matters every bit as much as precision.
We will work closely with your key personnel to assemble all the data needed to develop your financial statements. We will then help you finalize the statements to ensure compliance with industry standards and so critical information can be found at a glance.
Management Advisory Services
Managing your business for optimal efficiency and effectiveness requires continuously tracking and analyzing a wide range of data points to make informed decisions. We work closely with key personnel across your organization to gather and interpret the critical information that drives your company’s long-term success.
Many management consultants offer a narrow focus, but our approach is comprehensive. We provide expertise in general business planning, merger and acquisition support, and a broad range of other services designed to keep your company on track and moving toward its goals.
Notary Public
Have legal documents that require notarization? We’re a licensed notary public and can provide you with the notary services you need, when you need them. We have experience notarizing all types of documents.
Payroll Services
Making sure your employees are paid on-time and in full is vital. Not only will we take care of cutting paychecks, we’ll handle things like employee payroll taxes, vacation pay and more. You can focus on running the business; we’ll make sure everyone is getting paid.
Retirement Planning
Whether you are devising your personal retirement strategy or choosing a retirement plan to offer your employees, we can help you find the best options for you. Drawing on years of experience in retirement strategy, we will work with you to develop a retirement plan designed to withstand the economic ups and downs that inevitably occur over time.
For businesses, we can carefully review the unique financial realities of your company and employee population, so you can offer retirement plans that serve everyone’s best financial interests. We can also educate key personnel about compliance issues associated with each plan, empowering them to manage the plans effectively going forward.
For individuals and couples, retirement is deeply personal and we take pride in working with our clients on an individual basis to determine a strategy that fits your unique financial situation, risk tolerance, and long-term goals.
Sales Tax Services
Online sales tax collection, complying with state and local sales tax rules is more important and complex than ever. With regulations varying by state and even from one municipality to the next, sales tax compliance can quickly grow extremely complex, even for a small company with one location.
We will help you understand and meet all of your sales tax obligations, including calculating use taxes (if applicable) and filing timely and accurate returns. We can also help you determine whether changes in your operations might increase or decrease your sales tax liability.
Sales and use taxes are a primary revenue source for many states, counties, and cities, so government revenue departments strive to maximize collections. Working with an experienced sales tax partner helps ensure that you neither underpay nor overpay.
