We offer more than compliance. We become strategic partners, committed to helping your business succeed.

Topel Forman is known for audit and assurance services that align with your business’s stage, structure, and goals. Whether you’re preparing for growth, responding to regulatory pressure, or seeking greater investor confidence, our work is built to bring transparency, reliability, and perspective.

We don’t just deliver reports—we provide guidance that supports better decisions and long-term value. 

Our Audit and Assurance Process

Every business is different, even within the same industry. That’s why our process begins with understanding your organization inside and out. We assess your unique challenges, whether they relate to financial reporting, internal controls, or operational bottlenecks, and then craft strategic solutions tailored to your needs.

Our professionals also work directly with management, the board of directors, and the audit committee to develop the most efficient and effective approach to your audit or review engagement. Visit our Industries page for an expanded list of businesses we serve.

We believe that continuity and strong working relationships are essential. The team you meet during your initial consultation is the same team you’ll work with for years to come. This consistency allows us to build deep institutional knowledge of your business and provide insights that grow more valuable over time.

Frequent and constructive contact with your team allows us to identify opportunities and resolve issues proactively, before they become problems.

Collaborative Audit and Assurance Services for Clear Financial Reporting

As part of every audit or assurance engagement, we analyze and report on your company’s financial statements, identifying potential concerns while there’s still time for practical, cost-effective solutions. Our partners work closely with your financial and accounting staff to clarify uncertainties before issuing our final report.

Our goal is not just to complete your audit, but to support your broader business objectives.

Choosing the Right Level of Assurance: Audit vs. Financial Statement Review

A financial statement review can be a cost-effective alternative to an audit while still providing valuable insights for business owners.

If a third party—such as a lender, investor, or potential buyer—requests audited financial statements, our professionals will work with you to determine whether a review engagement could meet your needs.

In many cases, a review provides the necessary level of assurance at a lower cost, offering meaningful financial analysis without the full scope of an audit.

At Topel Forman, we take a personalized approach to every engagement, ensuring you receive the right level of financial reporting to support your business objectives efficiently and effectively.
