Our firm will help the company locate sources and support in negotiations for successfully acquiring the requisite financing. This function is equivalent to an “as-needed chief financial officer.” Our CPA expertise ensures that the accounting and tax implications of any considered financing beyond the immediate monetary concerns will be in the line with the needs of the business.
