With the IRS auditing less than one percent of tax returns in recent years, you may be thinking it can’t happen to you. But you could be wrong, especially if you have a lot of business expenses, your tax return is complicated, or you’re in a higher income bracket. The good news is that nearly 75% of those audits are notices or letters sent by the IRS requesting additional information or clarification. The rest are actual field audits.
While you may be tempted to respond to a letter or notice from the IRS, it’s not always a good idea even if you have a firm grasp of tax law. Because as friendly as IRS auditors might seem, they represent the IRS — not you. Sure, taxpayers can and do prevail during IRS audits, but without an experienced tax professional on your side, it’s less likely that it will happen…and you just might end up owing the IRS money instead of getting a refund. Here is how we can assist with tax notices and audits:
As a business owner, you may be accountable to creditors, private investors, and shareholders, all of whom are interested in ensuring that the company’s financial statements accurately represent the true financial position of the company.
There are three types of CPA certified financial statements: audits, review and compilations. Our firm currently offers compilation services to our clients, as banks often require compilations from an independent CPA as part of their lending covenants. In compiling financial statements for a client, we present information that is the “representation of management” and expresses no opinion or assurance on the statements.
Compilations don’t require inquiries of management or analytical procedures. Instead, we rely on our knowledge of accounting principles and a general understanding of your business.

We’re accountants and we enjoy crunching numbers, but chances are good that as a small business owner, you don’t. In fact, you probably started your business because you had a great product or service to offer and not because you were excited about cash flow analysis, profit and loss statements, budget forecasting, and strategic tax planning.

As a business owner, you’re busy developing new products or services and making sure your business runs smoothly.
