 Are you a business owner? If you make less than $315,000 married filing jointly in 2018, you could potentially get a 20% deduction against your net business income. If you make more than that, or are a personal service business, more careful analysis is needed. The deduction requires expertise to understand and apply. So, while C Corps have 21% tax rates, a dividend tax still applies. Pass-through entities still generally retain a 10% rate advantage due to the new lower personal tax rates.

Our Successes and Services

In many of these client engagements we have taken over from retiring local CPAs.  These situations necessitate we get involved in the front-end accounting for clients. We review 3 years of past year returns that were prepared by retiring local CPAs, and in most cases have found not tens but hundreds of thousands in overpaid taxes.  To find these refund opportunities, we have applied Big CPA Firm techniques including recalculation of proofs of cashflow.  We have found significant underclaiming of allowable deductions, depletion, and depreciation.  We hope we can meet with you and review your situation.

Specialist Forensic Accounting Services 

Forensic accounting has many contexts. It could involve: reconstructing records accidently or intentionally destroyed, investigating accounting records including tracing transactions to supporting source documents, requesting known financial documents, coordinating requests for replacement documentation, and analyzing financial results and balances for completeness and reasonableness.  Of itself "forensic" means "relating to, or used in courts of law or public debate or argument."  It is the Fraud associated with Forensic accounting which is the core of the specialty practice in engagements which anticipate litigation, and require and encompasses both litigation support and investigative accounting. 

Specialist Forensic Services - Business Separations, Finding Hidden Assets, Dispute Resolutions
Our Forensic Accounting Services have been employed in many different cases

Specialist - Expert Testimony Divorce and Valuations marital asset disputes, and due diligence engagements. 

Civil Litigation matters (partner disputes, breaches of contracts, breach of settlements), corporate investigations, bankruptcy investigations, 

Forensic Accounting is a specialist practice area of accounting.  With the AICPA CPA CFF combined qualification recognition of these specialist skills is self evident.  We evaluate mant different types of Forensic engagements which result from ongoing or anticipated litigation, and which encompasses both litigation support and investigative acounting.  

Our Independent reviews act as strong deterrents which strengthen the organization's internal control environment.  We can provide pro-active forensic accounting services typically to closely-held companies and organizations to evaluate their accounting records and results, with the goal of identifying potential problems or issues within the system of internal controls surrounding the transactions. 

Investigation is not a ticket to "absolute assurance that no fraud exists".  It is always a doubt that such an assurance can be given, but on balance and applying what a reasonable Executive would require tests these investigation engagements help companies and organizations become more secure, and provide outside review before a problem materializes by providing an objective outside report prepared by CPA experienced accountants specializing in the field of fraud.
