Farmer
& Company, P.A. was established in 1989 to provide quality,
personalized service to all of their business and individual clients.
Our
services are geared to improving the efficiency and economics of a
client's business operation.
We
are business-oriented professionals who relate to the problems and
experiences that our clients face in the business world. Management
services are a natural outgrowth of our auditing, accounting, and tax
services. Drawing upon our experiences in the business community and
continuing professional development, we are able to offer suggestions
to improve the operating techniques, cost efficiencies, and profit
potential.
Our
commitment to audit quality is an integral part of our firm's
background. Farmer & Company, P.A. is well suited to provide its
services to companies that need an audit due to the specific
requirements of stockholders, contractual commitments, regulatory
agencies, or board of directors information.
Through
intensive continuing education programs, our auditors remain
constantly abreast of industry trends while continuing to enhance
their educational levels with technical programs. Our audit
procedures are further advanced through the use of sophisticated
audit software and sampling techniques.
The
knowledge and insights developed during the audit enable us to
provide services that go beyond reporting on financial statements. We
are very much involved with our clients' overall financial accounting
policies, procedures, organization, cash flow projections, cost
controls, and inventory management.
Our
client accounting services go beyond the preparation of financial
statements and tax returns. We provide a total financial picture for
our clients, assisting them in formulating operating policies and
procedures, installing practical accounting systems, and assisting
with long-range planning.
Farmer
& Company, P.A. also maintains year-round record keeping for many
clients that includes all accounting functions, financial statements,
payroll records, and sales taxes. We may be engaged on a monthly
basis or quarterly basis, as required, and will review our findings
with management. Our vast business experience and know-how are always
available to our clients to help them improve their operations.
Tax
services are an integral part of Farmer & Company, P.A.?s
accounting practice. We are involved in every facet of taxation,
including all aspects of corporate, partnership, and individual
income tax planning and return preparation. Because of the nature of
change and complexity in the tax field, we emphasize timely planning
and counseling, as well as accurate reporting and compliance.
We
schedule and control the filing of returns required by the various
tax authorities, attend tax examinations and hearings, research tax
consequences of specific events, and review work closely with clients
in structuring business transactions.
Our
staff remains abreast of the constantly changing tax laws through
in-house seminars and other professional education. We also maintain
a large library of technical tax publications.
We
are a member of the AICPA Peer Review Program. Peer review sets
certified public accountants apart from other professions and tells
the public that certified public accountants are dedicated to
upholding the standards of our profession. The AICPA requires
members who do audits, reviews or compilations to have a peer review
every three years. We have undergone several Peer Reviews, and have
received an unqualified report on each review.
We
are always looking for opportunities to help you grow financially. We
take a personal interest in your success and work to establish a
long-term relationship with our clients.
