Start With a Free Audit Readiness Assessment

Key Benefits:

Zero surprise findings — issues resolved before auditors see them.
Complete documentation — PBC lists, schedules, and evidence delivered on time.
Single point coordination — one audit manager handles all requests and meetings.
Stress-free process — no scrambling, no disruption, no audit nightmares.

Another Audit Season. Another Risk You Can’t Afford.

Whether it’s SEC filings, OTC rules, bank covenants, investor demands, or M&A due diligence — when auditors show up, everything that can go wrong usually does. And the consequences ripple across your business.

The Deadline Domino Effect — miss deadlines, trigger covenants, erode investor confidence

The Documentation Black Hole — turnover leaves key support buried or missing

The Scope Explosion — one gap turns a routine audit into expanded testing.

The SME Bottleneck — your one expert is stuck with auditors while business stalls.

The System Nightmare — disconnected systems, no single source of truth.

The Prior Year Skeleton — old findings resurface, doubling fees and timelines.

The Stakeholder Panic — boards, investors, lenders questioning management control.

The Reconciliation Trap — “balanced” accounts hiding timing and classification errors.

The Materiality Shock — a “small” error triggers expanded testing and letters.

The Reputation Risk — delays and findings damaging credibility in the market.

Most “Audit Support” Leaves You Exposed

Most “audit prep” is just organized bookkeeping. They’ll balance accounts and call it “audit ready” — then disappear when auditors start asking hard questions.
The difference? We’ve delivered audits where SEC deadlines, lender covenants, and investor confidence were at stake.

Frequently Asked Questions

For recurring audits, prep should begin right after year-end close so documentation is ready when fieldwork starts. For first-time audits, allow more lead time (4–6 months) to resolve prior-year gaps and build audit-ready schedules.

No. We don’t issue audit opinions. Our role is to prepare documentation, manage requests, and keep the process organized so your auditors can complete their work efficiently.

That’s our specialty. We review prior findings, address control gaps, and rebuild documentation so recurring issues don’t surface again — giving auditors confidence in your improvements.

Yes. We support companies with multi-entity structures, technical accounting areas (revenue, leases, equity), and reporting requirements. We also coordinate with your legal and compliance teams when needed.
