Who Needs Litigation Support Services?
Unfortunate as it may be, we live in a litigious society. For many different reasons, many clients often find themselves facing unexpected legal conflicts, the majority of which have tax and financial ramifications. We offer a wide range of services to assist clients facing legal issues. These include helping clients minimize the tax effects of divorce, calculating awards for clients, and performing forensic accounting services. Litigation support services vary greatly from one situation to another and are tailored to the particular client's needs.
What is a Business Valuation?
A business valuation is a set of processes and procedures performed to determine the value of a business or an identifiable segment of a business.
Who May Want or Need a Business Valuation?
You may be interested in a business valuation if you possess a shareholder buy/sell agreement, if you are thinking about selling your company or interest in a company, if you want to transfer or gift shares to heirs or others, or if you are involved in a shareholder dispute, marital dissolution or other litigation where the value of your business is of critical importance.
What Does Scharf Pera & Co., PLLC Do When We Value a Business?
First we identify the information needed and then we gather and research the information. Next, we perform a financial and economic analysis of the business or business segment. Then we select the appropriate valuation methodologies and reconcile the values resulting from different methodologies. Finally, we prepare an objective valuation report with our determination of the value of the business or business segment.
What are Financial Projections?
We at Scharf Pera & Co., PLLC know that the future of your business and personal financial affairs is of the utmost importance. While tax returns and financial statements are important and necessary for you and your company, they tell little to nothing about where you are headed. We help our clients make projections as to where their numbers will be in the future, enabling them to effectively make important business decisions now.
What Computer Systems Consulting Services Do We Provide?
Our staff are trained in a wide variety of bookkeeping and various other software packages used by our clients. We know that the numbers generated by our clients' computer systems are only as accurate as the input. Routinely, our staff visit client sites to assist with software implementation, to help clients correct bookkeeping errors, and to prepare clients for the next fiscal year. In addition, our full-time computer technician provides assistance to clients with any highly technical computer problems they may encounter.
What Does Scharf Pera & Co., PLLC Do When Clients Need Assistance With Forecasting and Cash Management Assistance or Strategic and Long Range Planning?
Many small businesses find it most cost-effective to have small accounting departments. Often, the accounting staff of these businesses find that their time is completely absorbed by their daily record-keeping duties. There is little time for planning for the future of the business. Two of our members are former CFO's and have a great deal of experience with forecasting, cash management assistance, and long range planning. Our staff can assist you in setting and meeting budgets and in making the contacts and filling out the paperwork necessary to obtain financing for company growth.
