Client Services
Our locally-based firm offers a wide range of services to our individual and business clients. We are committed to providing personalized quality service to our clients in a timely manner. Listed below are some of the services that we offer to our clients along with a brief description.
Miscellaneous
Construction
Our firm provides all of the services needed by a contractor to be successful. This includes both tax and financial statement planning prior to the company's year end, financial statement preparation, accounting assistance, percentage completion accounting, and assistance with your surety brokers and underwriters.
Tax planning is essential in order to ascertain that the overall income taxes paid by the construction client and its owners are minimized each year. Since many construction companies also have related entities, our tax planning services will take the big picture into account prior to year end to help minimize overall income taxes.
Our firm provides many additional services for our contractor clients. This includes assistance with joint ventures, construction claims, implementation of accounting and job cost systems, cash management recommendations and equipment ownership versus leasing determinations. In addition, we prepare graphs of our construction clients' financial information for the previous four-year period and also provide comparisons of their data with industry ratios. We also compare the companies' financial statistics with known surety tolerances.
Since our staff is highly trained in the construction industry, we can provide valuable benefits to construction companies whether they are initially being formed or have become large established companies.
