We guide our clients through a full range of tax planning and preparation decisions with strategies that minimize your tax liabilities, maximize your cash flow and keep you on track with your financial goals. Our expertise, experience, analysis and thorough research allow us to optimize financial opportunities to be found in existing as well as recently altered tax laws. We are knowledgeable and up-to-date on tax laws and can make sense of your receipts, bills and notices.

Bookkeeping

Accurate record-keeping is essential to a successful business yet can also be complicated and time-consuming. We will help you with organization and the day-to-day tasks of bookkeeping so you can focus on your core business.

Payroll Services

Our payroll services help reduce the time you spend on administration through developing and implementing a computerized payroll system that facilitates processing, timely payment and preparation of tax returns.

Accounting Services

 From start-ups to established enterprises, businesses rely on accurate and insightful financial information in order to maintain profitability and capitalize on new opportunities. Our accounting services steer you closer to these goals with accurate record-keeping and reporting as well as support on financial issues such as initial accounting system setup, cost-containment, tax planning, investments, and employee benefit and profit-sharing plans. 

Estate, Trust & Succession Planning/Preparation

​Effective estate and trust planning can ensure financial security for loved ones. For businesses - especially in the agriculture industry - it can maintain a smooth succession of ownership. OPG's role is to help you navigate the complex and shifting tax laws to facilitate the transfer of assets and minimize the tax liability of your beneficiaries. Everyone should have a well-thought-out plan of how to distribute the assets left in one's estate in order to avoid complications and make certain that the individual’s wishes are followed. Having your taxes and estate thoroughly and carefully planned will ensure that your loved ones don't have any complications to deal with during a time of loss.

This includes assuring the solidity of financial records, evaluating financial procedures and working to produce strategies that help our clients face the myriad challenges of business planning and execution. Our clients benefit from objective analysis to assist in controlling costs, increasing efficiency, and implementing new technologies and procedures that take advantage of changes in the marketplace, accounting standards, and tax law.

Audits, Compilations & Reviews

Our financial statement services comprise all three levels of assurance depending on your company's needs:
Audits offer the highest level of assurance to third parties, and include in-depth examination and confirmation of account balances, inventories, and selected transactions. We perform audits for you to remove errors, ascertaining the validity and reliability of your information.
Reviews provide limited assurance to outside interests and involve inquiries and analytical procedures that confirm financial statement matters and identify any items requiring further analysis. We perform reviews to ensure the integrity of your data.
Compilations are usually requested for internal purposes and are based upon information provided by a company's management. They do not offer assurance but may involve some adjustment to accounting records.

Litigation Support & Forensic Accounting

Our litigation support and forensic accounting services can be employed in a wide range of situations, including commercial litigation, financial investigations, business valuations, business and marital dissolutions, and bankruptcies. These services can involve quantification of economic loss or damages, analysis of financial records, and fraud and theft investigation. Financial and personal records are often vast and confusing to sort through. With our professional training in this matter, we can make sense of these records and transactions and get to your bottom line.

Cash Flow & Budgeting Analysis

Good cash management can improve a company's liquidity, reduce costs, and increase profitability. We can help you maintain optimal cash flow levels by tracking sources and uses, forecasting, and budgeting accordingly. To a business entity, cash flow is something that can make or break the business' ability to survive. We help you analyze your spending, re-balance your budget and/or debts for an optimal cash flow to support your business' success. This balance plan would be revisited if and when there were any major changes in your business structure to ensure that you are operating at an optimal level. With our help and guidance, you will always be on top of your finances and ready for the future.

Financial Projections & Forecasts

No one can predict the future perfectly, but we can all benefit from planning for what may come. We combine expertise and experience with a gained understanding of your business to produce financial projections that can help you manage your business plan and spending. Forecasting for the future is imperative to your company's success. We stay current with market trends and updates so that your business can be prepared for what is to come. Depending on your needs, our work can range from top-level reports to detailed financial models.

IRS Representation

Professional representation can be vital during an audit, and our experience with tax authorities enables us to guide clients in their dealings with federal and state agencies. If you have been chosen for an audit, the professional representation we offer can put many of your worries at bay. We are ready and willing to answer any and all questions the IRS may be asking of you.

Entity Selection & Restructuring

Your business entity has a large impact on your taxes and other liabilities. From your company's inception through its growth and development, we can advise you on choosing an entity type and later restructuring, if advantageous. With our knowledge and expertise, you will always be receiving the most beneficial entity type for the functions your business performs.

Mergers, Acquisitions & Sales

Whether you're buying, selling, or considering a potential merger, we will help you successfully structure and negotiate the deal. We analyze and apply due diligence to determine a fair asking price, pinpoint the most favorable tax structures, evaluate financial and cash flow impact, and assess compatible business functions and tactics.
