Effective estate planning facilitates the orderly transfer of assets to your beneficiaries, provides security for your surviving spouse/family, and can reduce or eliminate the tax due on the transfer of your business and other assets. For business owners, providing for business continuity and succession of ownership is essential. We can guide you through the complex process of ensuring your financial affairs are in order.
Financial Planning
Managing wealth can be as difficult as obtaining it. Our aim is to ensure that our clients achieve their business, personal and family financial objectives. We do so by:
- Minimizing your tax burden;
- Understanding your cash flow needs today and in the future.
- Assessing your insurance needs;
- Developing a succession plan for your business; and
- Developing an estate plan to meet your retirement objectives.
Record Keeping
As government reporting requirements become increasingly complex, even the smallest business must maintain current and accurate records. If our clients do not require the services of a full time bookkeeper, we offer computerized record keeping designed to produce the necessary reports to ensure these reporting requirements are met. These services include:
- Payroll, including government remittances;
- The calculation and preparation of sales tax remittances; and
- The preparation of all journals and ledgers required for financial reporting.
