Glickstein Laval Carris has a true understanding of the competitive world small businesses face. We are equipped to help the small business owner obtain prompt information about his or her business so that they may manage it more effectively.

Auditing is the most sophisticated level of service that accountants can render. Certified Public Accountants are the only professionals permitted by state law to perform these services. Audits are mandated by governmental agencies for businesses in certain industries; other reasons for audited statements include provisions in bonding, franchise and stockholder agreements.

At Glickstein Laval Carris, our dedicated professionals possess a wide variety of expertise and competence in many industries. We have gained extensive experience in auditing closely held companies, condominium and homeowner associations, not-for-profit organizations, mortgage companies and local governments. We have undergone a quality review by an independent certified public accountant to meet the standards of the American and Florida Institutes of Certified Public Accountants.

These services are rendered with care and concern using the philosophy of Personal Partner Service.

Tax Services

We are committed to providing our clients with clear, beneficial, and thorough tax advice. Our staff is knowledgeable in the latest changes in tax law to help you take every advantage possible while keeping you in compliance. For research and preparation we use major tax library services, and the latest state-of-the-art computer software, to plan and calculate the lowest taxes, and to help you make the wisest business decisions.

Management Consulting

Management consulting is not a sideline at Glickstein Laval Carris, but a daily commitment to our clients. It is the cornerstone of Personal Partner Service.

We maintain complete availability for all types of management consulting opportunities, including the consideration of business plans, goals and objectives, policies and procedures, purchase or sale of a business, lease/purchase of fixed assets, computer consulting, cash flow analysis, employee screening or any other decisions required to be made by the business owner on a daily basis.

Estate Planning

No estate is too small for proper planning and we're not too big for personal services. The CPA is an important advisor and is a member of a team of professionals that includes attorneys, trust officers, investment advisors and chartered life underwriters. Glickstein Laval Carris can develop a strategy to conserve, increase, and ultimately assure that your estate planning goals are met. The result: minimal taxes and larger portion of your estate passing to heirs.

Sound and organized financial estate planning can help you preserve the financial security you have worked throughout your life to achieve.

Effective tax planning is essential.

We have constantly upgraded the reporting to reflect the continuing changes brought about by the dynamics of this business segment.
