Accounting and Write-ups: GKM

GKM’s accounting professionals also provide compilation services to CPA’s. Based on requirement these services may be monthly, quarterly or annual (tax compilation prior to tax prep). Of the three levels of risk assurance namely audit, review and compilation; compilation is possibly the easiest in that it is merely a presentation of financial data and does not require CPA’s opinion or conduct of various audit assurance procedures. Therefore it is also the easiest of the three to source.

GKM’s team provides quality financial compilation services and also ensures that relevant tie-outs to source documents are done and any omissions properly documented. Financial compilation services are offered as part of tax preparation services as well as separately. As part of these services we also take into account the requirements for a tax return and ensure all information is made available to CPA prior to tax prep. This makes the CPA’s task easier and ensures that he is able to discuss any outstanding issues, request any missing information from the client prior to tax prep. This also makes the tax preparation process smoother and stress-free. Sourcing this task to GKM ensures the CPA has more time to focus on core issues for all clients and provides enough time even during tax season to prepare advisory notes or research specific issues for clients.

GKM’s team will familiarize itself with a client’s business prior to taking on a compilation task so as to gain a fair understanding of the way the business is conducted – the standard transactions and practices common to the business and the industry. This ensures that the compiled financial statements are free of material errors, represent a fair view of the business and may be used for strategic planning/expansion or funding purposes.

GKM understands that cleanup and back work projects are part of every CPA firm’s tax season tasks and these are time-consuming during peak season. GKM has special back work teams deployed during tax season to help CPA’s with a load of back work projects. If you typically have back work clients during the tax season, GKM will help complete the project smoothly and minimize your time-spent on such tasks.
