Audits
Auditing has been our flagship service for over three decades. We offer California Regional Center audits, escrow audits, and non-profit audits.
Regional Center Audits
Know the regulations.
Are you a for-profit or a non-profit service provider receiving annual disbursements from California regional centers?
If you fall under SB 74 & WIC Section 4652.5, it is probable that you are required to contract with an independent accounting firm to conduct an annual audit or a review. It’s best to prepare early because failure to file by the deadlines will push your organization onto the state’s ‘do not refer’ list. This could very likely hurt your operations.
If your revenue is between $500,000 and $1,999,999 M, you will need a Review.
If your revenue is 2M or above, you will need an Audit.
All reports must demonstrate that at least 85% of government funds are used for actual programs and that no more than 15% is funneled toward administrative costs.
Look to Breard & Associates to get it done.
Our years of experience in the non-profit sector, as well as our reasonable fees, make us the perfect choice for fulfilling your needs thoroughly and on time.
Escrow Audits
Efficient. Thorough. Strategic.
Our niche in escrow auditing, going back to our firm’s founding, has enabled us to develop tested templates such as our Efficient Audit Program (EAP). This makes the process smooth, cost-effective, and prompt. All audits are filed pursuant to the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation.
Escrow firms represent over half of our clientele. All know they can count on us to understand what’s best for them.
Non-Profit Audits
Decades of expertise.
We pride ourselves on our work with non-profits both as accountants and as donors. Our long list of non-profit clients represents a wide range of sectors and include everything from large organizations to local service agencies.
We also work with family foundations, generally set up to minimize tax liabilities and at the same time support charitable organizations that family members prefer.
On the donor side, firm leaders have devoted countless hours to membership on non-profit boards since 2007. Mr. Breard continues to serve the San Fernando Valley community in this capacity.
Tax Prep / Consulting
We are adept at personal, corporate, estate, trust, partnership, and out-of-state tax returns. This is a mainstay of our business and we have garnered widespread client appreciation.
Smart, savvy…
Our four decades of tax prep and consulting experience have given us an ironclad grasp on everything we need to know to be thoroughly prepared for what comes our way. This includes personal, corporate, trust, partnership, estate, and out-of-state tax returns.
… and user-friendly.
We distribute annual tax organizers and give you the convenience and security you need through an online portal to your account. We also help our clients determine the most beneficial tax entity status: corporation, S corp, LLC, partnership, or sole proprietor.
Bookkeeping
We perform all bookkeeping services; however, most of our clients benefit from managing the primary work themselves. We then complete and polish their work, looking for missing information, misstatements, and additional opportunities to save on tax liabilities.
