Christopher J. Trombetta, CPA, PA
Accounting and Tax Services
Bookkeeping: Our staff will take your business transactions, organize them into an accounting system, and then provide accounting reports summarizing your operation. These are sometimes called write-up services. Generally done monthly but can be done quarterly or annually and we utilize QuickBooks accounting software.
Accounting Overview: For clients with their own accounting systems we read the transaction postings and recommend corrections. We prepare proposed journal entries for depreciation, expense accruals and prepaid items. We read expenditures and cash flow to identify possible problems and then make recommendations and then consult with client to discuss business performance. In order for us to maintain our independence, we submit these entries to the client’s in-house bookkeeper, accountant or controller for their approval and input.
Financial Reporting: We provide financial reporting complying with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Financial statements consist of a balance sheet, a statement of operations and a statement of cash flows. Depending on the need, the cash flow statement and/or required footnotes may be omitted.
Compilations: We prepare compiled financial statements. We assure that the information is organized and presented according to Generally Accepted Accounting Standards but we provide no assurance on the accuracy of information contained in the financial statements.
Tax Preparation and Planning: We prepare income tax returns for individuals, corporations, partnerships, estates and trusts. We also prepare state tax returns for all of the United States. We are proactive versus being reactive in providing tax services. We prepare periodic tax projections to eliminate year end surprises. We look for opportunities to minimize current and future tax liabilities by understanding new tax regulations and applying them to each client’s situation.
