Assurance

We approach assurance services as a mutually beneficial process that achieves client business goals by setting the tone for ethical business conduct and providing objective guidance on the effectiveness of business activities. We view ourselves as business advisors who will answer questions and be a responsive resource throughout the year, not just during the engagement period. As our clients grow, we grow with them.

We work directly with the senior management of our clients – CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and controllers – to fully understand their expectations, deadlines and concerns. After concluding our engagement, we not only inform top management of all significant concerns uncovered, we make recommendations on reporting and internal controls that would benefit client operations. Our executive level review is conducted while the fieldwork phase of the engagement is still ongoing, to ensure efficiency, timely reporting and time to address remedial action. We look to provide you with important insights that can help you address both present and future challenges.

Our assurance services for clients with a range of sizes are comprehensive and include:

  • Financial due diligence – we support the M&A, business purchase, or equity investment process by identifying and understanding key value drivers, risks, and opportunities that matter most. Our due diligence approach often goes beyond accounting and incorporates an assessment of financial, tax, and operating risks.
