- PLANNING – We begin by assessing your business drivers and objectives – taking the time to understand your business and goals.
- WORK PLAN – We then create a formal inventory work plan to define the scope,, objectives and expected deliverables of our engagement, scheduling activities to minimize operational disruption.
- PHYSICAL INVENTORY – Our trained personnel tag all in-scope fixed assets. Barcode or RFID tags are affixed methodically to assure data is accurately captured for the reconciliation phase.
- RECONCILIATION – Data gathered during the inventory is compared to what is recorded in your financial database. Discrepancies are investigated and componentization and classification strategies can be applied to optimize tax mitigation.
- REPORTING – We then deliver detailed reports containing all pertinent asset statistics, unrecorded asset activity, and recommendations for improvements.
- TAX REPORTING – For clients who wish to optimize tax benefits, we can then complete tax reports.
