Financial Analysis, Forecasts & Projections
Financial projection and analysis is an internal process that helps a company explain their most recent earnings and growth (or lack thereof). The financial data can then be extrapolated upon to anticipate (forecast) more accurately what is to come and what actions need to be taken to reach the desired outcome. These services can help our clients understand where they have been, where they are now, and where they want to be in the future. Our team has extensive experience in this area and can offer a plan to help our clients reach their short- and long-term goals in the most effective ways possible.
Each new business can choose their structure. They can choose between LLC, Partnership, Corporation, or S-Corporation. Navigating these choices can be extremely difficult and it does matter when it comes to protection from liability as well as tax considerations. Choice of entity is one of the most important steps when starting a business. Businesses can also change their type of entity if they discover the way they are currently structured is not working for them. These are important complicated steps and having the guidance of our firm will help the client navigate these choices with ease. Choosing the right entity from day one will help ensure all owners are protected in terms of liability and in the best tax position possible. Our staff is well versed in the organization and incorporation process, we will ensure every step is taken, all forms have been correctly and timely filed, and all necessary accounts have been established at the state and federal levels.
Each business has a unique situation and life cycle when it comes to Mergers, Acquisitions, and Exit Planning. At Smith Adcock we offer services to help our clients navigate these difficult waters. Our team will help devise a plan to assist with the Merger, Acquisition, or Sale of a business. These situations come with unique tax challenges and our staff can help structure the event to minimize the tax consequences as well as maximize any opportunities while keeping the client’s goals in mind.
