FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To keep you informed on various areas of your business, we offer three levels of Financial Statements:
- Audits: The objective of an audit is to provide an opinion about whether the financial statements presented conform with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The process involves evaluating a company and assessing their risk.
- Audits of Employee Benefit Plans: Regulations surrounding benefit plan compliance becomes increasingly complex each year. Let us provide the expertise required to manage reporting requirements, changes in plan administration, and governmental regulations.
- Reviews: A review is different than an Audit in that it doesn’t provide an opinion. Instead, a Review is a set of procedures performed to provide limited assurance that we are not aware of any material adjustments that should be made with respect to your financial statements.
- Compilations: A Compilation is information provided by the client from which we use to prepare financial statements.

How Will the End of Some Popular Credits and Deductions Affect Your Business?
Did you know that bonus 50% first-year depreciation will no longer be available to your business in 2014 and beyond? And that the Section 179 expensing limit, which allows you to deduct qualified costs immediately instead of expensing them over time, will tumble to $25,000 from $500,000, where it’s been for the last four years? These are just a few of the changes that businesses should prepare for this year. While many tax rules are permanent, others are written to expire at some point in the future. Some are extended and given new deadlines, but a significant number of popular “extenders” terminated at the end of 2013, including both business credits and deductions.
How will the end of these and other credits or deductions affect you? And what other tax law changes could have an impact on your company finances? Contact our office to find out the
answers. We can offer the advice and planning recommendations you need to minimize your tax bill and enhance your business’s financial situation.
The End of the Line for Some Popular Credits and Deductions
Did you know that while many tax rules are permanent, others are written to expire at some point in the future? These expiring items are often granted a temporary extension, but a significant number of popular “extenders” terminated at the end of 2013, including both credits and deductions. A number of credits for qualified energy home improvements and appliance purchases will no longer be available, along with the credit against health insurance premiums previously granted to certain taxpayers. Teachers will no longer be able to take the $250 deduction for out of pocket classroom supply purchases, and the deduction for qualified tuition and related expenses is set to disappear.
