Financial Statements
What are financial statements?
Well, they’re those pesky reports the banks always ask for when you’re applying for a loan, or the numbers everyone asks for if you decide to sell your business. They’re the picture of your company that shows you how your business is doing. Are you running at a profit? Are you losing money? What is your tax return going to look like at the end of the year? Our financial statements and reports show you where you stand, right now.
A typical report packet will include:
- Profit and Loss
- Balance Sheet
- Cash Flow Analysis

State & Local Tax Reporting
Local and state tax regulations change on a regular basis. We know it’s hard to keep track of them all. Depending on what type of business you own, the time and detail required to process these tax reports can be overwhelming. Are you paying the right amount of tax? Did you file correctly? And, why is this state department calling all the time? We can help.
We do the research, file the reports, and can communicate with the state departments on your behalf if you like. We can even answer any questions you may have on how to keep accurate records and which numbers you need to be especially aware of. Working with the state doesn’t have to be hard. They’re really not such a bad bunch of guys. You just need someone in your corner who knows the lingo.
That’s us.
