|
Training your people |
|
Bringing in our own professionals to help |
When we combine BFM's expertise with your goals, your business is able to grow in the direction you want.
Auditing
Your audit should give you far more than a review of your financial statements. It should help you find possible opportunities, because missing out on potential for growth means your business will not thrive. Likewise, your audit should point out potential threats.
Our business advisors have training and broad experience with other organizations, and know what to look for. Before BFM begins the audit process, we sit down with you and others on the management team to find out what you expect of an audit. Once we have agreed on a plan, we focus on key areas of the review to find out if your business is on track and where it needs modifications.
When the audit is done, we present our findings to you in a clear, understandable manner.
Taxation
While everyone wants to reduce their taxes, not everyone wants to develop a full understanding of tax law. That's where your BFM professionals come in - we understand tax law, and know how to use it to your advantage.
We are committed to keeping you informed of legislation changes and how they affect you. Individual or corporation, domestic or international - BFM business advisors can help you develop an effective and innovative tax strategy.

Corporate tax planning
|
| |
As your business grows, taxation becomes more important. Tax options change as your workforce grows, or as you move your office. Going international can add a whole new layer of tax complexity.
BFM's tax professionals make Tax their business, so you don't have to.

Business Plans
A business plan precisely defines your business, identifies your goals and serves as your
firm's resume. A good business plan helps you to allocate resources properly, handle unforeseen complications and make informed business decisions. It is a tool that can help you in the areas of communication, management and planning. Because it provides detailed information on how the company will repay borrowed funds, it becomes a significant part of many loan applications. All business owners should have a business plan as it serves as a blueprint for the future of the company.
At Beaton Fitzpatrick Murray we thrive on helping our clients compile a meaningful and informative business plan. In addition to compiling projected financial statements, we are experienced in writing other aspects of the business plan which include marketing, operating procedures, personnel and financing. Let us help you drive the growth of your business.
Estate Planning
Who benefits from estate planning? Anyone who owns assets, has a family, or is concerned about the disposition of their assets upon death will benefit from estate planning. Basically, that means just about everyone! An estate plan considers many different elements including: wills, life insurance and power of attorney.

|
|

|
Distribute your assets based on your wishes |
|
