4. Year-end Financial Statements

At Rheaume Williams Kalbfleisch, we look at the big picture. We not only prepare statements, we also review your accounting system and identify opportunities for internal control improvements. And we can help you choose the most appropriate financial-statement format:

  • Notice to Reader - Basic financial statement format appropriate for most small owner-managed businesses. Suitable for organizations with minimal bank or credit requirements.
  • Review Engagement - These are required by banks, suppliers and other interested parties as financing needs increase and more important business decisions are being made. Also appropriate for owners who do not have hands-on control over the business and need a higher level of assurance.
  • Audit - These are required by banks, suppliers and investors as their involvement and risks grow. Also chosen by small organizations in anticipation of an Initial Public Offering (IPO). Audits are also a necessity for many charitable organizations. Both full or partial audits (accounts receivable, payables or inventory) are available.
