Case Study

Late Stage Company: Wafer Manufacturer
This client engaged Perkins & Co for their audit in 2007. They were looking specifically for a firm that would respond to issues on a timely basis. The company had already worked with Perkins on taxes and employee benefit plans so they knew we had the industry expertise to support their audit needs. The audit has been successful and the working relationship and communication is very strong not only with the Company, but also with their parent company and their external auditors, a Big 4 firm.

Early Stage Company: Biofuel Start-up
In its second year, this company needed compiled financial statements and tax assistance beyond their internal capability. Perkins & Co had a prior relationship with the company's CFO and we were able to handle the assurance and tax engagement as well as help them set up a stock option plan as part of a new deferred compensation plan. The company now has the financial statements it needs for venture capital investors, has established tax positions for research and development credits and is working toward growth into its next business life stage.
