Accounting and Auditing

We are active members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants where we are part of both the Governmental Audit Quality Center and the Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center. These affiliations allow us to stay abreast of the latest pronouncements and changes in the regulatory environment; they require us to meet and maintain the highest standards in our internal and external peer review, our internal systems of quality control and review, and our required amounts of CPE for our entire staff.

Accounting and auditing provides the essential foundation to understand and anticipate the needs of our clients. Whether it’s an audit of a company, a not-for-profit, an employee benefit plan or a family foundation, a professional audit is more than a collection of statistics. It is a tool that provides clients, bankers, investors, foundations and regulatory agencies with an objective, independent opinion of the financial condition of an organization. For emerging businesses, our audit professionals often project cash flow, help with budgeting and provide a break-even analysis.

At Sullivan & Company, we undertake your audit with careful planning and preparation designed to elicit the information you need and minimize disruption to your workplace. Whether we are accumulating data or analyzing results, we keep you informed and crystallize our findings in clear and succinct management reports outlining both recommendations and opportunities for improvement.

Our director of quality control is responsible for performing an independent technical review of all engagements to ensure compliance with accounting, auditing and attestation standards and regulations. We develop and implement rigorous quality control standards. Sullivan & Company continues to receive the highest peer-review rating for its integrity and professional principles.
