Bookkeeping and financial statements
Bookkeeping
Current books make everything above them possible, from a lender question to a tax return that needs no cleanup first. Blackforest Advisors keeps the ledger, the reconciliations, and the monthly statements on schedule.
Financial statement preparation
Preparation is the AR-C 70 engagement. A CPA builds the statements from your records with no report and no assurance, which suits management and internal use.
Financial statement review
A review gives limited assurance on your statements and costs less than an audit. Plenty of loan agreements and board policies accept one, so check the wording before you commission the larger engagement.
Three situations that usually bring people here
Small businesses
Your lender wants reviewed statements, your books are behind, and you do not have a controller to hand it to.
Bookkeeping, tax filings, process improvement, system implementation, and fractional controller or CPA support.
Not-for-profits
Your board or your funder is asking for an audit, and the 990 is due either way.
Audit and review work, 990 filings, nonprofit accounting services, and financial reporting support.
Individuals
Your return stopped being simple once the trust, the partnership, or the S-Corp entered the picture.
Individual, partnership, S-Corp, trust, and estate returns.
What clients say

Great accounting firm! The Owner, Bill, is very knowledgeable and has some great experience. Definitely recommend to any one looking for a CPA.
Bill is phenomenal to work with. I have two small businesses and he handled my tax returns for me phenomenally. I will absolutely be using Bill from here on out!
The non-profit I manage suddenly found itself without an accountant to review our financials and prepare for filing - this less than a month before our Annual General Meeting. A business relation put us in contact with Blackforest Advisors. In less than 3 weeks, Bill Borden of Blackforest went through our numbers, helped rectify some anomalies, and produced a detailed financial statement that answered all the questions our members could have asked. Bill has shown adaptability, speed of execution, and provided us with solid guidance for the future.
