Grant & Smith, L.L.P. provides a complete and diversified tax service including federal, state, and local tax return preparation. We emphasize tax planning -- corporate, personal and estate including compensation, tax shelters, foreign operations, and mergers and acquisitions.

Recent changes in the tax law (Economic Growth & Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001) have put a whole new spin on income tax for individuals. IRS rule changes, interpretations and court decision mean tremendous change in income tax for businesses -- from the elimination of foreign sales corporations to new accounting method requirements, governmental regulations and interpretations continue to change the face of tax preparation and planning.

Grant & Smith understands the challenges facing both individuals and businesses. We have developed strategies to harness new laws in ways to benefit you most.

Audit:
We examine your records and financial statements for the purpose of expressing an opinion as to whether the financial statements present fairly the financial position at a given date and results of operations ending on that date in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The report that prefaces financial statements expresses our opinion as the external auditor as to the fairness of the financial statements attached.

Review:
An unaudited review of financial statements of a business or organization to determine the plausibility of the information. A review includes making inquiries concerning financial, operating and contractual information, applying analytical procedures and having discussions with appropriate officials of the enterprise. Our report that prefaces unaudited financial statements and provides negative assurance that the financial information conforms to generally accepted accounting principles.

Compilation:
The compiling of unaudited financial information into financial statements, schedules or reports based on information provided by the accountant's client includes arranging client information into the form of a financial statement -- no expression of assurance is contemplated in a compilation engagement. The "Notice to Reader" that appears on each page or prefaces the financial statements, schedules, or reports warns readers of our limited involvement.
