Assurance, Accounting, Tax & Advisory Services
The success of an accounting firm depends upon how well it understands the needs of its clients and how competently and efficiently it meets those needs.
NDSW DIFFERENCE
At NDSW our niche in the marketplace is our full-service approach for all clients.
Trained by international accounting firms we learned early that the key to a successful business is client service.
So we decided to design every engagement with a Team of Professionals tailored for each client to assist with their Assurance, Accounting, Tax and Advisory Services.
Additionally, we invest time and resources in professional education and computer technology to provide clients with the technical strengths of a large firm but the attention to detail of a small firm.
OUR SERVICES
TAX PLANNING AND PREPARATION SERVICES
At NDSW we understand that planning is the key to successfully and legally reducing your tax liability. We make it a priority to enhance our understanding of the current tax law, complex tax code, and new tax regulations by attending frequent tax seminars. We go beyond tax compliance and proactively recommend tax saving strategies to maximize your after-tax income.
We know that preparing your own income tax return can be a task that leaves you with more questions than answers. According to a study released by the US Government's General Accounting Office, most taxpayers (77% of 71 million taxpayers) believe they benefited from using a professional tax preparer.
Whether we like it or not, today's tax laws are so complicated that filing a relatively simple return can be confusing. It is just too easy to overlook deductions and credits to which you are entitled. Even if you use a computer software program there's no substitute for the assistance of an experienced tax professional.

We view our role in the financial reporting process as an opportunity to provide constructive solutions for maximizing your company's operations. We provide financial reporting on all three levels of assurance:
Audit Services
An audit is the highest level of service and is the one that is familiar to most people. An audit consists of examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. We will design an approach that will consist of tests of documents, contracts, agreements, etc. We will also assess the accounting principles used and any significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. An audit typically includes, but is not limited to, direct confirmation of bank balances, physical inspection of significant equipment and property, and other correspondence with third parties such as attorney's, customers and others that we deem necessary in the performance of the audit procedures. As part of the audit we will obtain a sufficient understanding of the internal control structure in order to plan the audit and determine the nature, timing and extent of the tests to be performed.
Review Services
A review is the middle level of service. A review consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit, and does not include detail testing of evidence supporting the amounts in the financial statements, among other procedures typically performed in an audit.
Compilation Services
A compilation is the third type of service. A compilation is consists of presenting information provided by management in the form of financial statements and may include footnotes. A compilation is not a review or an audit. No opinion or any other form of assurance is given on the compilation.
Other
In addition to the above services our experience extends to Agreed-Upon Procedures Engagements; Reporting on Pro Forma Information; Compliance Auditing; and Internal Control Reporting
