Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my bank or lender require a CPA-compiled financial statement?

Lenders and bonding companies want assurance that financial statements were prepared following standard accounting principles. A compilation, performed by a licensed CPA, gives them that baseline level of confidence that bookkeeping software or an internal spreadsheet alone cannot provide.

Can anyone prepare a compiled financial statement, or does it require a CPA?

Only a licensed CPA can legally issue a compiled financial statement under professional accounting standards. Bookkeepers and accounting software can produce financial reports, but they cannot provide a CPA compilation that lenders and bonding companies specifically require.

What's the difference between a compilation, a review, and an audit?

A compilation involves the CPA presenting financial information in proper form without providing assurance on the figures. A review provides limited assurance through analytical procedures, while an audit provides the highest level of assurance through detailed testing. Most small business lenders and bonding companies accept a compilation.

Do contractors need a specific type of financial statement for bonding?

Surety bonding companies typically have specific financial statement requirements that vary based on bond size and contractor history. We prepare compiled financials structured to meet what bonding companies and state licensing boards specifically expect to see.

How quickly can you turn around a compiled financial statement?

Turnaround time depends on the complexity of your books and how current your bookkeeping is, but we offer fast turnaround when a loan, bonding, or investor deadline is approaching. Clean, up-to-date books generally allow for the quickest compilation.
