Saphal & Associates
The firm works alongside businesses, non-profit organisations and individuals across the areas set out below. This page is written to explain what the firm does and how it approaches the work. It is offered as information for those who wish to understand the practice, and not as an advertisement or a claim of superiority over any other firm.
At the centre of the practice is a close examination of financial statements and the systems that produce them, followed by a clear account of what was found, written so that boards, donors and management can act on it with confidence.
Tax bears on almost every decision a business makes. The firm helps clients meet their obligations on time and understand the rules that apply to them, from initial registration through to routine filing and the questions that arise in between.
From the first day of a company to its last, there are filings to prepare and formalities to keep in order. The firm attends to these steps before the Office of the Company Registrar, so that nothing is left pending and no deadline is quietly missed.
Reliable records are the ground on which everything else stands. The firm keeps the books in order and prepares the periodic statements a business needs in order to see clearly where it stands.
Some engagements sit outside the routine: a business changing hands, two companies coming together, or a first move onto a new set of accounting standards. The firm works through these carefully, so the numbers behind a decision are examined before it is made and the reporting that follows rests on a sound basis.
Beyond the routine lie the questions that call for a considered second opinion. The firm works through matters of feasibility, planning and investment with clients who are weighing a decision and want the numbers examined before they commit.
Over the years the practice has worked with organisations in a range of industries, each with its own reporting requirements and regulatory setting. That breadth helps the firm understand the context behind a set of numbers, not just the numbers themselves. The sectors below are noted as experience, not as a claim of standing over any other firm.
The areas and sectors above are indicative rather than exhaustive, and the firm takes on other professional work as well. Whether a particular engagement can be accepted depends on independence and the other requirements of professional conduct, which are considered carefully before any work begins.
A short conversation is often the best place to start. Write or call, and you will hear back.
