Compliance gaps don’t stay hidden forever. We identify and close them before they become IRS notices, penalties, or deal-breakers in due diligence — and represent you if the auditors come anyway.
Compliance & Auditing Services
Compliance failures and audit surprises don’t just cost money — they consume time, damage relationships, and create legal exposure. We build the compliance framework and auditing discipline that keeps your business clean, defensible, and prepared for any level of regulatory scrutiny.
A thorough review of your current tax compliance position — federal, state, and local. Are you filing everything you should? In the right jurisdictions? At the right frequency? We identify gaps before the IRS does.
Independent review of your financial statements, internal controls, and accounting procedures. We identify errors, inconsistencies, and control weaknesses that could create problems in an external audit or due diligence process.
If the IRS comes calling, you want someone who knows what they’re looking for in your corner. We represent clients through IRS correspondence audits, field audits, and appeals — managing the process and protecting your interests.
Industry-specific regulatory requirements — financial services, healthcare, real estate, construction — vary significantly. We assess your compliance posture against applicable regulations and build a remediation plan for any gaps.
Buying or selling a business? We conduct financial due diligence that surfaces compliance issues, unreported liabilities, and accounting irregularities before they become your problem after closing.
We don’t just identify gaps — we build the systems, processes, and controls that keep you compliant going forward without adding unnecessary operational burden to your team.
Common Compliance Risks
If your business sells to customers in multiple states, you may have tax filing obligations in those states that you’re not meeting. Post-Wayfair, the rules changed significantly. We assess your nexus exposure and get you compliant before a state finds you first.
Misclassified employees vs. contractors, late payroll deposits, incorrect withholding — payroll tax violations are among the most common and most costly compliance failures. The IRS’ Trust Fund Recovery Penalty can hold you personally liable.
LLCs and corporations have ongoing state filing requirements — annual reports, registered agent maintenance, meeting minutes, etc. Failing to maintain your entity properly can result in loss of liability protection.
The most commonly disallowed deductions in IRS audits are legitimate expenses with inadequate documentation. We review your recordkeeping systems and ensure your deductions are defensible if examined.
Transactions between a business and its owners — loans, rent, management fees — require specific documentation and arm’s-length terms to survive IRS scrutiny. We review and document these transactions properly.
Cash transactions, barter, forgiven debt, cryptocurrency — income takes many forms and not all of it is obvious. We review your situation to identify any reporting gaps before they create compliance problems.
