Accounting · Audit Preparation

Audit-ready, year-round.

Workpapers, supporting schedules, and reconciliations built throughout the year — so when an audit, lender review, or diligence request arrives, the records are ready.

What We Do

How audit preparation actually works.

Most businesses scramble for audits because the supporting documentation lives in someone's memory. We build it as we close — quietly, consistently — so the audit folder is mostly already there when it is needed.

01

Monthly workpaper build

Supporting schedules built as we close each month — bank recs, AR/AP aging, fixed asset rolls, accruals, deferred revenue.

02

Lender package readiness

Loan covenant compliance documentation maintained current — debt-service ratios, asset coverage, financial reporting deadlines met.

03

Due diligence preparation

Standard DD requests — three-year financials, customer concentration, contracts inventory, owner expenses — pre-organized and refreshable.

04

Audit firm coordination

PBC list handled, auditor inquiries answered, sample requests pulled. We sit between you and the audit team.

05

Internal controls documentation

Process documentation, segregation-of-duties review, and basic internal control structure — particularly useful before a sale or audit.

06

Tax return reconciliation

Annual reconciliation of book financials to tax return — book/tax differences identified and documented in advance.

Who This Fits

Who this fits.

Audit prep makes sense for businesses that face audits, lender reviews, or transactional diligence regularly — and want to stop scrambling each time.

Bank-financed businesses

Companies with credit facilities or term loans requiring annual audited financials or compiled statements.

Pre-transaction businesses

Companies preparing for sale, recapitalization, or significant investment that will trigger third-party diligence.

Regulated entities

Industries with regulatory financial reporting — nonprofits over a threshold, government contractors, certain franchises.
