Actionable Insights for Stakeholders

Just as homeowners schedule annual termite inspections to prevent costly damage, businesses benefit from regular financial health checks to identify risks before they escalate. Our service combines on-site assessments with in-depth data analysis—searching for hidden financial vulnerabilities and missed opportunities that may quietly erode profitability. In addition to supporting risk mitigation, this solution helps strengthens financial reporting, streamlines workflows, and serves as a staff training tool—driving continuous improvement and operational efficiency.

Gain Clarity: On-Site Property Assessment Findings

On-site property visits further strengthen our evaluations, providing direct, firsthand insights into operational practices, management oversight, and financial processes. This visit bridges communication gaps among stakeholders—owners, managers, lenders, and investors—fostering open dialogue and building trust within your investment ecosystem. We deliver unbiased assessments, helping stakeholders make informed decisions with greater confidence.

Annual Financial Checkup

Focuses on these key financial areas:

Accounts Receivable

Verify the accuracy of receivable balances by examining totals, conducting sampling, analyzing aging reports, and recalculating balances. Investigations in this area aim to detect fictitious receivables, improper write-offs, or undisclosed side agreements that manipulate revenue.

Accounts Payable

Analyze payments, detect unusual transactions, and use advanced techniques like Benford’s Law. Risks include duplicated payments, false vendors, intentional overcharges, or schemes where employees create fraudulent vendors and submit fake invoices for payment.

General Ledger

Identify misleading journal entries that manipulate financial performance, whether for achieving financial targets, meeting bonus thresholds, or concealing other improprieties. This includes recognizing unusual entries, tracing adjustments to supporting documentation, and assessing the validity of posted transactions.

Inventory

Focus on the accuracy and integrity of inventory records, assessing the effectiveness of reordering systems, and verifying that profit margins and pricing are accurately calculated. This includes identifying risks related to misstated inventory values, unauthorized adjustments, and fraudulent stock movements.

Payroll and Human Resources

Detect improper activities, such as ghost employee schemes, where fake employees are added to the payroll, or falsified overtime. This involves analyzing payroll records, verifying employee information, and identifying unusual patterns in compensation.

Travel & Entertainment

Examine expense reports, verify supporting documents, and identify patterns indicative of irregularities, such as inflated expenses or duplicate claims. This helps in detecting abuse, clerical errors, and loss.

Removing Accounting Obstacles

Financial management relies on accurate underlying accounting data. We go beyond recommendations to provide the hands-on accounting staffing and IT solutions necessary for execution.

Findings: Toxic work environment with difficulty hiring qualified labor in a competitive marketplace. Accounting department significantly behind in monthly closings. Job costs budgets repeatedly changed to show project are always in budget.
Solution: Implemented hybrid staffing solutions to bring accounting current with additional enhancements for labor savings in excess of $1m. Established budgets for all projects with initial budget locked in place to evaluate results.

Significant errors and tax savings overlooked by the previous accounting firm

Findings: Identified errors include incorrect accounting of 1031 transactions, leading to income overstatements for several years, as well as unresolved suspense and out-of balance intercompany accounts. Additionally, improvements were depreciated over an unnecessarily long period, increasing current taxable income.
Solution: These issues were brought to the attention of the current accountants for correction.

Financial reporting generating incorrect results cumbersome accounting structure

Findings: The chart of accounts was not sequenced in a format conducive to report writing. Hundreds of individual general ledger accounts were used instead of project accounting, along with an excessive number of unnecessary bank accounts.
Solution: The underlying accounting system was revamped to conform with BOMA and construction industry standards. Entity tables were set up to automate intercompany processing and reduce the number of bank accounts

Significant leakage in the food & beverage dept

Findings: Premium bottled beer being sold to guests at tables for cash but rung up at lower domestic beer price at the register. Staff are pocketing the price difference. Restaurant cashier applying no show prepaid breakfast checks to active customers who pay their checks in cash.
Solution: Implement an F&B inventory module with POS integration to automatically reduce stock and generate analytical reports. Conduct surprise spot counts with disciplinary action for discrepancies.

Construction project without adequate job cost accounting

Findings: A multi-hundred-million-dollar redevelopment project was managed with spreadsheet downloads, causing reporting delays and inadequate tracking of change orders, timelines, and budget impacts.
Solution: Activated job cost features in the management software, aligned categories with AIA billing, and integrated accounts payable to track contractor payments and budget changes. Attended construction meetings to gather budget variance information and assess potential warranty exposures.

Casino slot hand pay fraud

Findings: An excessive number of hand pays were generated, revealing that slot attendants used the same credentials to open machines. Cashier payouts lacked proper signatures, and system security rights were compromised.
Solution: The investigation uncovered collusion between departments. Slot attendants were issued personalized machine access cards to improve accountability. System controls and access card usage were monitored and cross-referenced with payroll time and attendance records to ensure that only authorized attendants were working, making it easier to verify the actual person responsible.

Management vs Financial and Reliance on Spreadsheets

Findings: While financial and tax reporting systems were automated, management was left struggling. They relied heavily on time-consuming spreadsheets, manually pulling data from various sources. This led to outdated and inaccurate information, hindering effective decision-making.
Solution: A reporting tool was introduced, overlaying existing information systems, to provide real-time, customizable data for informed decision- making. This boosted efficiency and transparency, fostering a data-driven culture.
