Financial Statement Preparation

Financial Statement Preparations

Financial statements are a formal record of a business or individual person’s financial activities over time and/or the financial position of a business or individual person at a point in time. Management is responsible for preparing financial statements; however, in some cases, organizations without financial expertise may use CPAs’ services to prepare financial statements on their behalf.

Understanding the Numbers

Professionally compiled business financial statements make it easier to understand exactly what the numbers really mean. Reliable and accurate financial statements are necessary for any business and are important for making sound business decisions. CPAs provide three levels of service with respect to communications on financial statements: audit, review, and compilation.

The need for business financial statements is often driven by the need to file tax returns (personal, corporate and trust), minimize, plan, and determine tax liabilities and support business decisions.
