Do you have a business loan? Our team can work to understand loan reporting requirements and deliver data as needed. Or, are you applying for a business loan? We handle preparation of financials and projections for loan applications and government assistance programs.
For nonprofits and other organizations that have a board (or other governing body), we can work with the board to learn what specific information they’d like to see. Then, we can create efficient systems and processes to obtain the necessary data and prepare regular financial reports for their review. We can also discuss the financials directly with the board as needed and get the books in order prior to audits and donor reviews.
