SOLVING BUSINESS ISSUES

Many business and financial issues don’t fit neatly under the umbrella of traditional accounting, audit and compliance services. That’s no problem when you partner with PBMares. A strong network of affiliated consultants means you’ll have access to leading specialists for any issue, any time.

Business Valuations

Business valuations are needed for a variety of reasons, including mergers, buy/sell agreements, shareholder disputes, divorce and estate planning.

Forensic Accounting

Preventing financial fraud is the best defense. Unfortunately, financial fraud can happen even with controls in place. That is why you need PBMares on your side. With a traditional investigative experience, PBMares is up-to-date with cutting-edge forensic accounting techniques and is able to provide fraud vulnerability and risk assessments designed to test the effectiveness of your corporate compliance programs. Our expertise includes proactive and reactive services concerning compliance with statutes such as the BSA, AML, the Patriot Act, FPCA, ITAR, OFAC, BIS, EAR as well as with the SEC and other regulatory agencies. To give you the comfort level you need to feel you are protected, your compliance efforts will be measured against the factors that government prosecutors and regulators use to determine corporate responsibility for any illegal actions of employees, agents or others.

Plan Design

Offering retirement plans and programs is a tried-and-true way to attract and retain top talent. Many plan options are available, and designing a plan that will benefit you as well as your employees can be complicated. With clients ranging in size from small offices to companies with 2000+ employees, PBMares experts have the depth of experience to help you customize a plan that meet the needs of the company as well as its key employees.

Our experts also are available for employee benefit plan audits and we currently serve as the third party administrator of nearly 200 plans.

Profitability Analysis

As a responsible business person, part of determining whether to move forward with a new venture or deciding to continue an existing product or service is conducting a profitability analysis. This analysis considers factors such as the cost of keeping and/or acquiring customers, customer lifetime value and market share. Understanding these kinds of issues helps you determine how to move forward and be profitable. Let us analyze your profitability so you can make better business decisions to increase it.

Strategic Planning

Having a strategic business plan in place before embarking on a new endeavor—a business expansion, succession plan or an entirely new business venture—has never been more important than it is today. There are many reasons for this, but the most important one might be that many historically successful tactics are being disrupted. These changes can affect every aspect of your business, from sales strategies to personnel management. Our industry has not been immune from these changes.

That’s why the PBMares team is well-prepared to help you design and implement a strategic plan structured enough to help you achieve your business goals and nimble enough to change along with market forces.

Having individual wealth comes with great responsibility: to yourself, your family and your goals and objectives. When you search for a wealth advisory team, you need to consider a firm that looks at all facets of your financial life through an objective, comprehensive planning lens. PBMares Wealth Management prioritizes the planning process because ultimately a sensible, analytical approach should determine which direction you should go to increase the probability of success.
