Compilation of Financial Statements Review of Financial Statements Third parties (such as banks or vendors) may require a financial statement prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  Smaller businesses generally don't require audited financial statements --  which can be costly.  Services such as compilations (which require that you accumulate the information and the CPA makes certain the financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP) or review engagements (which require a higher level of assurance in that management must indicate representations to the CPA and certain analytical analysis is performed) are generally all a smaller business requires.  Marie A. Jakubiak & Associates, P.C. has experienced professionals qualified to prepare financial statements within either a compilation or review engagement format.

We have also assisted individuals in establishing payment plans when taxes weren't paid on time.  You should feel comfortable with the person you have representing you before the various taxing authorities.  We strive to give you that sense of comfort and ease that ache in your stomach.
