Moss Adams Business Consultants Performance Audits

When more is expected of your organization, lean on an advisor with a proven record and sensitivity to the public service environment in which you operate. Now more than ever, governments and not-for-profits are expected to demonstrate performance levels typically associated with businesses. As a result, boards, councils, and management teams have had to rethink how they operate and provide greater emphasis on continuous improvement, performance metrics, and return on investment.

This makes strengthening performance by enhancing economy, efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency and reducing risk of vital importance to governmental entities and not-for-profits of all sizes and types. One of the key means of doing so is via a performance audit—a thorough examination of your operations, performed in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards, also known as Yellow Book standards.

Moss Adams Business Consultants: Business owner succession

For privately held companies, succession planning is central to the longevity of your business. Whether you plan to sell your company (or otherwise transfer ownership) now or in 20 years, having a plan in place helps you in many ways: Among other things, it can inform lenders who seek assurance of business continuity, provide incentives to key members of management, and structure a future transaction so that the business can fund your retirement without sapping its cash flow.

Yet despite these benefits, many business owners put off planning for succession. After all, there are pressing day-to-day business challenges they feel they need to address. This is understandable, but the absence of a succession plan can put your business at risk.

We can help you navigate a succession plan and discover new and better opportunities to cultivate the future of your business as well as your personal wealth. Regardless of where your company is in its life cycle (start-up, growth, or maturity), we can work with you to customize a comprehensive succession strategy.
