Welcome 

    Jerry E. Bartram

  Certified Public Accountant

Helping our clients reach or exceed their financial and life goals is the passion that drives our firm. A personal knowledge and understanding what clients want to accomplish in life is only the start of our service. Other important value added services are:

• Accurate accounting.  This is the one of the most important areas of your practice or business.  You need to have a well thought out "chart of accounts" that allows you to compare your practice to standards in the industry.  Professionally prepared, compiled financial statements, from a general ledger (books) that you maintain and we review or for many clients we do a complete write up service including payroll, reconciliation of bank and credit card accounts along with a detail fixed asset ledger and suggested journal entries to reflect transactions and balances at the end of each month, quarter or year.
   
• "Audit proofing" you from tax audits. Audits are expensive and time consuming, but some times necessary.  With accurate accounting, you can be assured that all your income and expenses are accounted for.  Many tax cases that are lost are the result of poor and inaccurate records.  Accurate records, along with creative approaches to tax planning, provide you with the best way to document and plan a transaction so that, legally, you will pay the least amount of taxes.  Since you sign a return under the "penalty of perjury", you need to have the assurance that the return is done honestly while, at the same time, knowing that every possible legal deduction has been taken.

  MISSION STATEMENT ____________ We pledge to provide  personalized, high quality tax and management solutions, ethically and with integrity to our clients. We will approach accounting and tax problems honestly, yet creatively. We promise to offer  our services at a fair and competitive rate.

  
  
• Helping you choose the best business entity to protect assets and reduce cost.  Clients look for help in deciding if they should incorporate, form a partnership or stay a sole proprietor.
   
• Working with experts in the retirement planning area helps you plan for the future.  By knowing your goals and financial situation, along with qualified attorneys and investment advisors, a comprehensive and affordable retirement plan can be tailored for your needs.  For your safety and peace of mind we do not offer financial or insurance products. Representing you and looking after your interest is our primary goal.
   
• Practice Analysis.  If you are looking to purchase or sell a practice you will need a practice analysis.  This will help you to decide if you found a high quality professional practice and avoid a purchase that can be a financial disaster. Working with both buyers and sellers of professional practice, through the years, we have developed the ability to help you analyze and decide if the practice you are looking at meets your needs.
   
• Help in practice transitions.  Setting up a computer system for your office and help in organizing the records necessary for a smooth running office are services that we offer.  Working with your attorney in analyzing office leases and other contracts assures you of a carefully thought out business plan and documents to support and protect your interest.
   
• Benchmarking business and professional practices is a very cost effective way to look for ways to maximize revenue and minimize expenses in your business or practice. Knowing how to analyze a "Charge Master File", payor class analysis and breakeven analysis allows you to legally maximize your revenue.  Years of hands on computer programming allows us to analyze vast amounts of your data and look for relationships for profit improvement that might have gone unnoticed.
   
• Setting up safe guards to minimize fraud risk helps you know where risks are in your office and how to minimize the risk of loss.

 If you have an interest in any of these areas, please feel free to call and let us get together and see how we can be of service to your business or practice.
