In Richardson, Texas, L.V. Browne, CPA operates as a certified public accounting practice run by its founder.

According to the firm, it has saved clients hundreds of hours on the administrative side of their businesses.

Audit, review and compilation

For organizations that need assurance-level work, the practice offers audit, review and compilation engagements. It says it takes a deep look at the organization in order to add value, which means the work is meant to do more than satisfy a reporting requirement.

Accounting and tax for a growing business

The firm presents itself as a single place for accounting and tax needs. It says it follows changes in accounting and tax regulation so that its tax planning is relevant and its tax preparation and accounting are accurate. Its services for professionals include income tax reduction strategies, business tax preparation, individual tax preparation and tax consulting. Nonprofit organizations are among those it prepares filings for.

The site makes the case for professional help plainly: tax laws are complicated, even a fairly simple return can be confusing, and it is easy to miss deductions and credits that are owed. Software, it argues, is no substitute for an experienced tax professional. A downloadable guide on business deductions is offered to visitors who give an email address.

Startups and small business owners

For new companies, the firm takes on the bookkeeping so owners can return to running the business. Its help starts at business incorporation and extends to tax strategy. Beginning a business involves a long list of tasks, and the practice says it stays available as the business develops to answer financial questions and to work on lowering expenses and raising revenue.

Ongoing commentary

The site also carries articles on accounting and finance, with advice for business owners on keeping more of their money away from the tax authority.
