Additionally, we'd like to schedule a few meetings with the owner or principal for interviews to better understand your policies and procedures.

DO YOU FIX ANYTHING YOU FIND WRONG?
When we perform the Diagnostic Review, we prepare a Diagnostic report where we document the area we reviewed, our findings, what is working and what may need to be reviewed, revised, and/or adjusted.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED TO HAVE YOU CLEAN UP MY BOOKS? 
As you focus on building your business, whether you handle your own books or have someone helping, you might start feeling that something isn't quite right. If you're unsure about what's going on, consider scheduling a discovery call to explore the option of a diagnostic review performed by us.

Upon the completion of the Diagnostic Financial Review, we make recommendations which include what to correct, adjust and/or clean up in order to get your books back on track or get your financial records in shape for a specific event, such as filing a tax return.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM YOU DURING THE CLEAN-UP? 
We assess the project using our checklists and best practices, considering the cleanup requirements and the volume of data to be reviewed and corrected.
