Explore practical guidance on accounting, financial reporting, federal and state tax, and compliance to help your business stay informed, strengthen financial processes, and make better decisions.
Receiving an IRS notice does not always mean something is wrong, but it should never be ignored. Understanding the notice, reviewing your tax records, meeting response deadlines, and providing appropriate documentation are important steps toward resolving the matter.
Key considerations include reviewing account records, identifying discrepancies, evaluating penalty matters and available relief options, responding within applicable deadlines, and maintaining appropriate documentation.
Doing business across multiple states can create tax and compliance obligations—even when your company does not maintain a traditional office in those states.
Physical presence, employees, customers, sales, property, inventory, and other business activities may affect your state tax footprint. Periodic nexus reviews can help growing businesses identify potential registration, filing, and ongoing compliance requirements.
A reliable month-end close provides management with accurate financial information and greater visibility into business performance.
A structured close typically includes bank and credit card reconciliations, AP and AR review, accruals and prepaids, fixed asset accounting, balance sheet reconciliations, general ledger review, financial statement preparation, and variance analysis.
