We provide a list of documents necessary for a preliminary review. Typically we will review and analyze (depending if it is an excise or property tax review) accounts payable invoices, purchase orders, contracts, fixed asset schedules, general ledgers, trial balances, excise tax returns, federal tax returns, current and prior state excise or property audits, personal property affidavits and assessed value notices. Typically our review begins with a review of the last complete fiscal year.
At Madison Cooke, we take a comprehensive approach to provide a thorough and complete review and analysis. We exceed our client’s expectations and deliver a service that is dramatically more valuable than the fee we earn. Our experience, at many levels, in many industries, has beneficial cross-over effects that other firms can’t match. In 80% of our reviews we have identified and successfully recovered tax dollars for our clients.
