Maximize cash flow and mitigate risk

Tax accounting methods affect when an item of income or expense is recognized. A company’s tax accounting methods may include items such as: tax depreciation, revenue recognition, inventory capitalization, treatment of accrued expenditures, or other items. Proper tax accounting methods planning can best position your company to meet its long-term goals by optimizing cash flows, mitigating risk, and staying current with the latest legislative guidance.
