SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
RE: Hiring Our Firm To Do
Your Accounting and Tax Projects
Dear Small Business Owner,
When you are looking for an accounting firm there is always a degree of
uncertainty. You are venturing into the unknown. The first thing that you want to find out
is whether our firm is capable of handling the type of accounting problems that you
normally have. I have personally prepared hundreds of financial statements, and feel that
I am well-qualified to handle most accounting and tax problems. Normally I work on almost
every type of accounting situation that you could imagine and some that you may not even
know existed. I have been doing accounting and tax preparation since 1976, so I have
solved more than my share of accounting tax problems on a daily basis.
We are often asked: Does your firm handle only
big businesses and will it have no interest in my small companys accounting
problems? Most of this firms accounting clients are small or mid-sized businesses.
We do not normally provide services to major corporations. Our staff is involved in your
accounting matters on a personal level. I work personally and oversee every accounting
project that we process through the office. I personally sign every financial statement
and tax return that we process. In short, the Rex Crandell CPA Firm is a small firm, and
each client is important to us. We work with our clients as friends on a first-name basis.
What do we charge for tax preparation? This is a
commonly asked question. Our fees are based on the time required by the individuals
assigned to the engagement, plus out-of-pocket costs (including computer processing
charges), according to our minimum fee schedule that is printed at the beginning of each
year.
Will we help you pay the lowest tax that is
legally possible? Yes. We do our best to help our clients lower their taxes. If a question
arises interpreting tax law, and a conflict exists between taxing authorities
interpretation of the law and other supportable positions, we will use our professional
judgment in resolving these issues. Whenever possible, the issues will be resolved in your
favor.
We are not looking for the one-time client or the one-time project. For
each client that we serve for the first time, it is our intention to build a lasting
professional relationship that will last for the next ten to fifteen years or more. In
fact, it is becoming increasingly common for us to work for the adult children of our
clients.
I hope this memo answers many of the questions that you may have about
our firm. I look forward to working with you and solving your technical processing needs.
Thank you for calling Rex Crandell, CPA.
Very truly yours,
Rex L. Crandell
