Whether you are looking for debt or equity capital, considering buying a company, considering selling a company, or you just want to be sure your company's results are credible and laid out in a professional presentation, our experienced team of 50 auditors and business advisors have the expertise to help you achieve your goals. At Tanner LC, we provide an array of business assurance services which include audits of companies (public and private), audits of benefit plans, due diligence work for mergers and acquisitions, reviews, compilations, SEC reporting consultation and much more. Because the very core of our business involves gathering, processing, and disseminating information, our assurance services are both financial and non-financial in nature.

Types of services include, but are not limited to:

Audit Services

Our financial and business environment is complex and confusing. When significant transactions are eminent, you want advisors and auditors that you can trust to get it right and to deliver timely. When you work with Tanner LC, audits and reviews go smoothly and deadlines are met because our personnel are experienced and have been trained to deliver. We know that consistency of staffing is important to you. We can provide that consistency because we provide our employees with the specialized training and the authority that leads to long-term careers with us, and we encourage them to think like business owners. Our turnover ratio of personnel is the lowest of any major firm in the Utah marketplace.

We also go beyond the financial statements and provide the advice you need related to your financial performance, accounting systems, and day-to-day business decisions. In addition to audits and reviews for closely held businesses and SEC reporting companies, we provide the following:

Agreed-upon Procedures

We work with you to design only those procedures that address the risk perceived related to specific financial statement elements or control systems.

Benefit Plan Audits

Most pension and profit sharing plans with over 100 participants are required by the Department of Labor to be audited. We perform audits in this specialized area for over 50 benefit plans (including defined contribution, defined benefit and health and welfare plans). We do this work for the largest plans in Utah so you can be confident we will get your plan done timely and done correctly. With the increased DOL and IRS scrutiny of plans, it is important that your service provider have deep expertise. This is not a sideline business for Tanner LC. We spend significant resources in training our people and staying on top of the latest developments in this key arena.

Internal Use Financial Statements

We can assist you in the preparation of your financial statements in accordance with professional standards, but express no opinion or any other form of assurance on the underlying information included in them. The financial statements produced can be a useful tool for management for making financial decisions and moving your company to the next step.
