Michael Goldman & Associates, L.L.C. - Consulting & CPA Services

In this information age, it’s easy to be buried in meaningless numbers.  But by understanding and eliciting the key information in a timely way, Michael Goldman & Associates can help you spot trends in your company just as they are developing.  You’re then poised to build on the good - or reverse the bad, before it’s too late. 

Numbers are only part of the story.  First we’ll listen to people at all levels and constituencies of your company.  Find out about the successes and problems of your business as you and others view them.  And use these to convert your accounting data into useful information. 

Then we’ll present clear and concise summaries tailored to what is important to you.  This information is often presented in a visual form, such as a graph.  Management will be able to “drill” down the data paths utilizing the visual representations of the data as a guide to more information.  Operating management not trained to read the accountant’s complex reports and tables can see the message imbedded in the graphs, and instantly understand the developing trends.  We’ll use this information to recommend courses of action.  Some of these recommendations will of course be ways to conserve resources, but we recognize that cost-cutting alone is rarely the best strategy. 

Accounting systems and reports are often set up to satisfy the auditors and tax collectors.  Their output is usually to late and too cumbersome to be of value to management.  We will convert your accounting system into a timely, useful, pro-active management tool that adds value to the operating parts of your business.
