Financial Accounting & Statement Preparation
Preparation of balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements for owner-managed businesses in Wheaton, Buffalo Grove, and across DuPage, Lake, and Cook Counties. Jacobs & Newmark prepares statements that a bank, a bonding agent, or a buyer will accept, and then walks the owner through what the statements actually say about the business.
What this covers
- Balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement preparation
- Statements formatted for a bank, bonding agent, franchisor, or buyer
- Comparative and departmental reporting
- Walking the owner through what the statements say

When people call us about this
