Public Companies

Today's accounting departments at public companies are often challenged with tremendous requirements as a result of downsizing and hiring freezes with no reduction in regulatory reporting and jurisdictional tax filing burdens.

At Sullivan & Company, we aggressively advocate on behalf of our public company clients with outside auditors, investor groups, tax agencies and others. We offer international tax and multi-state tax expertise and often handle non- income tax compliance. Most importantly, our clients in the public sector appreciate that our management team is available for their management team … with a quick and well-honed response to their questions and needs. In fact, we often become an integral extension of the tax and accounting departments of these public companies, offering the flexibility to step in for ongoing or short-term projects with little or no ramp-up time needed.

We frequently work with existing accounting and HR departments as an outsourced vendor on special purpose audits such as audits of subsidiaries, and audits of 401K and other pension and retirement plans. We are active at the AICPA’s Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center.

We handle a wide array of special studies including business valuations, cost segregation and R&D, due diligence reports for mergers and acquisitions, executive recruiting, and forensic accounting and fraud detection.

We know cost is a major concern in today's competitive marketplace.  Several of our clients have moved from national accounting firms to achieve cost-efficiencies with the same high-level of expertise and exceptional customer service.
