The decision to start a new business is an exciting one, but as every experienced business owner knows, there’s more to it than developing a product and hoping it sells. As an entrepreneur, you’re probably a "big picture" person with a vision. You'd rather not deal with nitty-gritty details like choosing a business entity, sales and payroll tax, or accounting systems that help you manage cash flow?. The good news is that in Afitis Tax & Accounting Firm, we're here to help you figure it out. We can help you plan and facilitate your organization’s annual process of assessing the past and future of your business. Starting with the creation of your company’s specific process to assess where your business stands and where you wishes to go in a specific period of time.

Our Process

Before we initiate our consulting engagement with our clients, we conduct these initial processes:

Client Interview

A typical consulting engagement begins with the client interview, conducted with the owner or key decision maker, to determine the enterprise requirements and definition of the scope of services to be delivered. The interview is designed to allow for both client and consultant to explore the overall situation in the business, and conduct a preliminary assessment of key areas on which to focus.

Consulting Proposal

The client interview provides the basis for the consulting proposal. The proposal will cover the key areas of the work to be done including objectives to be accomplished, and results to be delivered. On every assignment, each client receives intense focus, superb problem solving techniques, and unbiased, objective counsel.
