Accounting

Accounting is the professional process of adjusting and restructuring financial activity transaction reports, records and journals into certified financial documents that conform to national and international standards as defined by organizations such as the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).  Conforming financial presentations and documents to fixed standards permits individuals, investors and others to measure the relative strength, health and credibility of two or more business entities by being assured the information being presented between the entities is directly comparable and is being reported in an identical manner.  Among others, these certified financial reports are needed by publicly traded companies, individuals seeking government contracts and organizations regulated by the SEC or other similar boards of trade.  CPA's are required to maintain training and proficiency in this ever-changing and regulatory environment to understanding and properly applying the various standards to financial documents and presentations being prepared.  When a particular document or report meets the conditions of requiring certification, Lethert Tax Accounting Systems, Inc. contracts with independent CPA's, of either our or the client's choice, to attain an objective and outside level of attestation that may be needed by our client.  We believe that this ongoing relationship between Lethert Tax Accounting Systems, Inc. and CPA's provides a level of expertise and service of great added value to our clients.

Compilations

From start-ups to established enterprises, all businesses rely on accurate and insightful financial information in order to maintain profitability and capitalize on new opportunities. A financial compilation puts your company's bookkeeping data into a consistent format that allows for easy comparison of one period to another. This helps management identify trends, make presentations to banks or other financial institutions and develop strategies and constructive solutions for maximizing your company's profitability, efficiency and opportunities. Compilations differ from reviews and audits as they are based solely upon client provided information and bookkeeping primarily for internal use, as no attestations or assurances are expressed. Lethert Tax Accounting Systems, Inc. helps steer you closer to your goals by helping you use the compiled information to gauge the health and financial condition of your business.

Business Financial Statement Preparation

We can assist you in the preparation of your financial statements in accordance with professional standards. Business financial statements generally consist of a Statement of Income and Expense for a specified period of time and a Balance Statement showing actual account balances at specific frozen moments in time. Together these two statements disclose and reconcile all financial activity of a business for a particular accounting period. Certified financial statements reporting the activities of a business are often requested by government, banks and other financial institutions to measure the new worth and credit worthiness of a business. They are essential for securing loans, attaining credit and to comply with many official reporting requirements mandated by law and regulation. Correct and accurate financial statements are also a very useful tool for the management of a business or for making informed financial decisions.
