Closely Held Businesses

Over 90% of all American business are considered Closely Held Businesses. This major economic force have their own unique concerns and accounting requirements.

Many times the business often represents a large share of the owner’s wealth and future security… sometimes it’s the complete retirement plan. Therefore cash flow can significantly impact the owner’s personal lifestyle. And balancing that with reinvestment in the business is critical in order to garner the biggest bounty upon exit.

Because of these factors, it is especially important for Closely Held Businesses to have a relationship with an accounting and financial management firm they can trust.
