Corporate Audit and Taxes We provide auditing and tax services to small businesses, family-owned businesses and SEC reporting companies.

At Marcia Fritz & Company, we have extensive experience advising companies concerning the financial aspects of managing their operations. Using the latest in technology and resources available, we offer a full range of services designed to meet the specific financial and accounting needs of our corporate clients. We can provide you with information you need when you need it, in a format you can understand and work with. We want to help your organization be more successful.

As your CPA firm we will assist you in:

• Setting goals for your organization's specific long and short term needs
• Implementing a plan to meet these goals.
• Recommending accounting policies, procedures and internal controls as needed.
• Communicating with the Board of Directors and Audit Committees.
• Preparing any special projects and reports you may need.
• Preparing corporate tax returns and communicating with tax authorities, if necessary.

Why would you want an audit if the stock of your company is not traded on an exchange?

Because:

• You have ambitions to go public and you need to begin establishing a series of audited operating statements.
• You have concerns regarding the company's accounting systems and want comprehensive, timely financial information.
• You have questions as to the effectiveness of the internal checks and controls. You want an overhaul of these systems to sharpen the internal review of data input and the checks over the process of collection and summarizing information.
• You want an independent appraisal of management's fiscal policies and their effect upon the company's operations.
• Budgets and forecasting are in place but management would like to increase their definition and improve their accuracy.
• The company's profitability needs a boost from expense restructuring and the benefits to be drawn from comparisons with industry leaders.
• Because you, the controlling stockholder, would simply like some external validation of your stewardship for your own satisfaction or for the benefit of fellow stockholders and lenders.
• Your audit must, of course, meet all of the requirements of the AICPA's generally accepted auditing standards. However, as indicated above, it can accomplish far more than providing an unqualified report. It should be constructively critical, giving you a better understanding of your systems and reporting and a greater opportunity to improve performance and increase profits.

Why would you want Marcia Fritz & Company as your auditors if your company is publicly traded?

Seasoned professionals with a combined audit experience of more than 50 years will serve you. Therefore, your staff will not be burdened with inexperienced auditors asking unnecessary questions. Instead, we focus the audit process on high risk areas and fraud risk factors. Communication is also streamlined, as you will be working directly with the decision makers.

We are registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and therefore can provide audit and tax services to SEC - reporting companies.

We also have extensive experience working with Board of Directors. We can advise your Board on establishing an audit committee or how to increase the effectiveness of the audit committee. Additionally, we can provide training to your Board to increase their understanding of accounting and financial reporting. Consultation is also available to provide your Board a "financial expert."
