A Full Range of Audit & Attestation Engagements
Every engagement requires a tailored approach. We match our methodology to your audit type, industry, and compliance requirements.
PCAOB Audits
As a PCAOB-registered firm, we are qualified to perform audits of public companies to the rigorous standards required by the SEC. We bring the same meticulous attention to detail that investors and regulators expect — giving public companies and their stakeholders the assurance they need to act with confidence.
Financial Statement Audits
We conduct independent audits of your balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, and equity statements to verify accuracy and GAAP compliance. Whether you need audited financials for a lender, investor, or regulatory requirement, we issue a formal auditor's report that holds up to scrutiny.
Internal Control Audits
Weak internal controls are one of the most common sources of financial loss and fraud exposure. We evaluate your existing control environment, identify gaps and deficiencies, and deliver practical recommendations that reduce risk and strengthen the reliability of your financial reporting from the inside out.
Compliance Audits
We verify that your business is operating in full adherence to the laws, regulations, and contractual obligations that apply to you. This is especially critical for nonprofits, governmental entities, real estate operators, and businesses subject to multi-state or federal reporting requirements. We surface issues before regulators do.
Operational Audits
Beyond the numbers, we examine how efficiently your business actually operates. We assess workflows, resource utilization, and internal processes to identify where time and money are being lost. The result is a clear set of actionable recommendations designed to improve performance and strengthen your bottom line.
Employee Benefit Plan Audits
If your 401(k), 403(b), or pension plan has 100 or more eligible participants, a federal audit is required by the Department of Labor. We handle ERISA-compliant benefit plan audits with precision — reviewing plan operations, participant records, and financial statements — so your plan remains defensible and your employees' interests are protected.

What to Expect When You Work With Us
Our audit process is designed to be as seamless and stress-free as possible. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you contact us.
Step 1
Initial Consultation & Fact-Finding
We start with a consultation — by phone, video, or email — to understand your audit notice, financial situation, and what the IRS or regulating body is examining. Harry reviews your records and explains your position clearly before any work begins.
This includes:
- Full review of your audit notice or engagement scope
- Assessment of your current financial records and returns
- Clear explanation of your options and recommended strategy
Step 2
Planning, Fieldwork & Document Preparation
We develop a detailed audit plan, outlining the scope, objectives, and timeline — then share it with you before proceeding. During fieldwork, we collect and organize all required records, interview key personnel where needed, and test controls. For remote clients, we provide secure electronic document submission options.
Our process includes:
- Detailed audit plan shared and approved before work begins
- Collection and organization of financial records and supporting evidence
- Testing of internal controls and transaction samples
- Secure online document submission for out-of-state clients
Step 3
Analysis & Reporting
After fieldwork is complete, we analyze our findings and compile a clear, detailed audit report. You receive our observations, conclusions, and any recommendations for improvement — explained in plain language, not accounting jargon.
Deliverables include:
- Formal audit report with findings and conclusions
- Actionable recommendations for improvement
- Plain-language walkthrough of every finding
Step 4
Resolution, Follow-Up & Prevention
We do not disappear after the report is issued. We follow up to help you implement recommendations, handle any IRS response, file appeals if needed, and put record-keeping processes in place to reduce future audit risk.
After the audit:
- Ongoing support to implement recommended changes
- Appeals filed if the outcome requires it
- Record-keeping guidance to minimize future audit exposure
Frequently Asked Questions
The Benefits of Regular Audits
Audits are not just a compliance checkbox. Done right, they strengthen your business from the inside out.
Enhanced Financial Accuracy
Regular audits ensure your financial statements accurately reflect your true position — giving you reliable data to make confident business decisions.
Stronger Internal Controls
Audits surface weaknesses in your processes before they become costly problems — helping you reduce fraud risk and tighten operational controls.
Increased Investor Confidence
Audited financials signal transparency and credibility to lenders, investors, and partners — accelerating deals and opening doors that unaudited statements cannot.
Regulatory Compliance
Stay ahead of federal and state requirements. Regular audits reduce the risk of penalties, fines, and the kind of regulatory scrutiny that disrupts operations.
Operational Efficiency
Audits uncover inefficiencies hiding in your operations. The insights we provide translate directly into smarter processes and improved profitability.
Fraud Prevention
The knowledge that audits occur regularly is itself a deterrent. We help you build an environment where fraud has nowhere to hide.
