Core Services

What's Included

Independent Accuracy Review

A fresh-eyes audit of every key account each month catching mispostings, duplicates, and errors before they compound into larger issues.

Reconciliation Sign-Off

Every bank and balance sheet reconciliation independently verified and formally approved before close.

Close Package Review

Full review of the monthly close package P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and supporting schedules with a written sign-off memo documenting findings.

Journal Entry Testing

Manual journal entries are reviewed for proper authorization, supporting documentation, and correct period allocation the #1 area of financial misstatement.

Accruals & Estimates Review

We validate the reasonableness of all accruals, prepaid amortization, depreciation schedules, and management estimates ensuring they reflect economic reality.

Red Flag & Risk Reporting

A monthly risk memo highlighting any unusual trends, policy exceptions, internal control gaps, or items requiring management attention before they escalate.

Why an Independent Reviewer Changes Everything

When the same person who prepares the books also reviews them, errors become invisible not from dishonesty, but from familiarity. An independent Reviewer breaks that loop entirely. They bring no assumptions to the numbers, no attachment to how things were done last month, and no incentive to let anything slide. The result is financial data you can present to investors, lenders, or auditors with complete confidence because someone whose only job is accuracy has already looked at it first.
