ADD AN ASSET.

Preparing for an audit by a national firm can be almost as daunting as the audit itself. Who will your company rely on to develop analysis and documentation on all of the complex issues you face? Without available internal experts, your options are limited. National firms may be cost-prohibitive. Regional firms lack the expertise.

FML stands in the gap—lean and agile, but also knowledgeable and experienced. Because of previous Big 4 experience, FML professionals can work directly with your Controller, CFO, Director of Tax and internal accountants to prepare schedules, reconciliations and consolidated financial statements. When your issues aren’t black and white, FML will address them in depth, saving you the significant costs that would accrue with a national firm.

Apart from internal audit support, FML can also assist with merger and acquisition issues, benefit plan audits, tax returns, FAS 109 calculations, tax research and planning, and most other categories of accounting analysis and research.

QUICK THINKING.

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

Assurance & Advisory (Audit): FML is registered with the PCAOB and can perform audits of publicly
traded companies at a more reasonable cost than a Big 4 firm. Yet, you get expertise commensurate
with the top players in our industry. Whether your need is an audit for your 10-K or for your 11-K filing
related to your benefit plan, FML can provide the audit opinion required, plus the attention you deserve,
no matter what size your company.

Tax: FML has the tax expertise and track record to supplement your tax department. FML has the
expertise to provide value added advice related to specific issues that require research, as well as
deliver on special projects. Such projects have included: R&D tax credit studies, sales and use audit
defense, FIN 48 assessment, FAS109 preparation, process improvement and testing for SOX, tax due
diligence, and tax return preparation or review.

Consulting: FML can provide internal audit support to supplement your in-house accounting resources,
or serve as financial experts on accounting and tax issues facing your company.

Sarbanes-Oxley Services: Small or large cap, your company is required to comply with SOX, posing
challenges that come well before the audit by a large firm. Let FML tie up the loose ends—assessing
your controls, providing solutions and testing them. You’ll save on big-firm charges.

Business Information Assurance: To comply fully with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, your company
must register a review of your information infrastructure and controls for financial statements. It’s a job
that can be complex and time-intensive. By relying on FML, you can avoid the deficiencies that result in
penalties, while saving staff time.
