Choosing the Right Level of Service for Your Needs:
Our team plans and performs the engagement to obtain reasonable assurance about whether your financial statements are free of material misstatements. As your auditors we will make inquiries concerning financial statement related matters, apply analytical procedures to identify unusual items or trends in the financial statements, assess the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluate the overall financial statement presentation.
Our extensive experience and knowledge includes performing audits in accordance with Government Auditing Standards (Yellow Book), OMB Uniform Guidance (Single Audits), and the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974 (ERISA Audits).
We make inquiries of your organization’s management and perform analytical procedures designed to identify unusual items or trends to obtain limited assurance that your financial statements are free from material misstatement. We assess the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall financial statement presentation.
Our team becomes familiar with accounting principles and practices common to your business industry and obtain a general understanding of your transactions and how they are recorded to present your financial data in the proper financial statements format. In a compilation, we do not provide any assurance if the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
Agreed upon procedure services allows us to perform specific procedures agreed upon by you in a certain area – perhaps an area of concern, new activity, or just a closer look at something. We will provide you a report listing the findings resulting from the procedures performed.
I am a mom of four very active and fun boys, two beautiful and fun stepdaughters and Finley, our crazy and fun black lab mix. I love running, practicing yoga, college football and basketball, watching my kids play sports and traveling – especially when we can travel with my husband and children because it is always extra crazy and fun when you travel with eight people.
My favorite part of my job is getting to know my clients, learning about their businesses and figuring out different ways to help them succeed. It makes my job fun and rewarding. I am a licensed CPA and graduated from NC State University (Go Pack!) with a BS in Accounting in 2000 and have spent my career helping clients just like you.
