ACQUIRE AN ALLY.

A middle market company sometimes lacks the built-in protection of a board of directors overseeing its best interests. So unless your accounting firm combines the highest service standards with a progressive approach, you may not be getting the business and tax expertise you deserve—or the insights that can steer you away from risky business ventures and toward smart opportunities.


FML brings a fresh, independent outsider’s view to companies like yours. You’ll not only gain value on the tax side, but also the business insight of senior-level accountants. Experience really counts when you need a quick decision on a pivotal business decision, or when you’re facing a major tax audit. From FML you’ll receive honest answers based on wide experience, in accordance with unquestionable business ethics.


Speaking of experience, FML’s client list includes companies from most major categories—ranging from high tech and manufacturing to construction and service industries.

QUICK THINKING.

Middle market companies can benefit from several of FML’s service categories. Some thoughts to get you started:


Assurance & Advisory (Audit): Are your audits being handled by people with senior-level experience? They should be. Whether you need us to conduct an audit, review or compilation, FML’s experienced minds will scrutinize every last detail.


Tax: All too frequently, middle market companies miss out on R&D tax credits and tax accounting method reviews that could minimize tax burdens. Let FML advise you. Whether you’re facing a state or federal IRS audit, or just planning to expand, move or sell your company, FML can be a powerful ally.


Consulting: Before you make a commitment to acquire another company, FML can provide insights
that less experienced firms might miss. Due diligence includes making sure a company is presenting
its financial information in accordance with GAAP, and also ensuring that any net operating loss carried forward is available for use in the future. Forewarned is forearmed. The same is true of audit preparation, another important service FML offers.


Sarbanes-Oxley Services: Although not required to be performed, your company’s marketability will
improve if its internal control environment is clearly defined and documented. Let FML help with an assessment and remediation plan.


Business Information Assurance: It’s a myth that middle market companies are safe without information controls. Fact: You’re as vulnerable as a Fortune 500 company. Employees often have access to more information than they need to do their jobs. A dishonest employee could use access privileges to commit fraud and hide the evidence. We can help you limit access and prevent theft.
