Management

We provide services to manage all business affairs. We take the pressure off of you by making sure all your bills are paid, deposits are made, and checking accounts are never overdrawn.

For entertainment clients, we oversee your paychecks to assure they are properly calculated and agents and/or managers are accurately paid.

We make sure your insurance is appropriate for you, your property, and your assets. 

We provide weekly reports that show your account balances, the cash that was disbursed and received, and copies of each bill paid as well as the check stubs that were deposited.

Bookkeeping / Write-up

Having timely and accurate records allows our clients to keep up to date on the wellness of their business and assures all current taxes are paid. The records assist a business to plan for the future and make any necessary changes before it is too late. Our firm aids our clients with this by supplying financial statements on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis; providing general ledger analysis; setting up new business entities; preparing necessary tax documents on the local level (ie. business licenses and business property statements); assisting with the day to day activities associated with bookkeeping; implementing and reviewing internal control procedures; and if needed preparing personal financial statements.

Compilations

We gather necessary information from our clients to compile accurate financial statements. We review the clients’ books, make adjustments, and recommend necessary changes. This process allows for more timely tax planning by making us aware of any tax issues that may arise during the year. In addition, it allows a company to become mindful of their financial position. In turn, the company has the ability to maximize their profitability and efficiency. Compilations are not audited financial statements and are primarily for internal use.
