Testimonials

Using internal reports, we helped a client identify individuals who were being paid both as contractors and employees. This insight prevented the client from having to pay more in unemployment taxes.

When our client came to us, their fixed asset schedules were in total disarray. We developed a process to determine which assets to capitalize and which to expense. We also cleaned up their personal property declarations, removing tens of thousands of dollars of equipment the company didn’t own anymore. We saved them thousands in personal property taxes over several years.
