Independence, objectivity, and integrity are the pillars of our engagement planning and management.

We are passionate about the quality of our audit and financial statement services, and we work hard to streamline and automate our processes to achieve superior results.

We are committed to educating our clients on how to translate the results of our financial statement engagements into day-to-day improvements in their organization.

- An audit provides the highest level of assurance for financial statements and is often required by external parties like banks and credit providers. It involves a thorough examination of supporting documents, accounting rules, and overall presentation of financial statements. The auditor's role is to offer an opinion on the fair presentation of these statements, following Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS).

- In contrast, a review engagement is less comprehensive and involves discussions with client staff and analytical procedures to understand the accounting records. The accountant’s role in a review is also to express an opinion on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but with a more limited scope compared to an audit.

- When financial statement needs are limited, oftentimes clients look to us for compilation or preparation services rather than a review or an audit. In compilation and preparation engagements, we help management prepare a financial statement and related supporting reports and schedules. In neither engagement is any assurance or opinion provided.

The short answer is “yes”. Businesses are more nuanced than simply preparing financial statements and tax returns. For example, audits, financial management, and payroll are a few of a long list of accounting crunch points. A certified accounting firm will not only help by taking the role of a business advisor but also help you with many other aspects like bookkeeping and budgeting. In short, you will get assistance for all that is essential to set your business on a successful path.

Yes, we assist you with both to save you time and money. In fact, we provide support for both QuickBooks online and desktop, alongside other bookkeeping tools. Similarly, we offer payroll services for your business’s payroll needs, from processing and calculation to facilitating timely payroll tax deposits.

Generally, a bookkeeper compiles data and maintains your business’ books (accounting ledgers) on a daily basis. You can expect bookkeepers to help you with financial records, tracking transactions, and creating reports. On the other hand, an accountant can help you with tax returns, planning & advisory, audit, and consultation, alongside bookkeeping and keeping with accounting principles.

Therefore, it is best to work with a skilled accountant. Edge Accountants and Advisors LC is a comprehensive business accounting firm in Summerville SC. We are glad to serve you as a bookkeeper and an accountant at the same time and tackle all the bookkeeping and accounting needs for your business.

If your business or organization is growing and you have no time to focus on tracking expenses and transactions, from payroll maneuvers to assurance, you want to map out your business’s financial management and potential growth, or you struggle with tax returns. Sometimes business accounting solutions can be more challenging to handle than expected for people.
