As a business owner, facing an audit – whether an internal audit, external, payroll, trust reconciliation, or IRS audit – any of them can trigger major anxiety and angst.

Truth is, Chaotic Recordkeeping Can Have Real Consequences.
Fines, back taxes, and legal issues can become serious problems – especially if you run a small business. The good news? It doesn’t have to be that way. A business audit can be a smooth, drama-free event… when it’s done right. It’s why we specialize in audit-ready service – so you can sleep at night. Audit-ready means your financials are clean, complete, and organized before an auditor, CPA, or agency reviews them.
We do the heavy lifting so you can take care of running your business.

Schedule a MeetingCollaborative-Driven Approach
Unlike automated or assembly-like bookkeeping shops, we work closely with CPA and auditing professionals. This results in a smooth and supported experience so you’re ready when you need to escalate to a formal audit.
Authenticity and Honesty
In full transparency: We’re not licensed auditors or CPAs. Because we don’t conduct audits ourselves, our only job is to make sure you’re 100% prepared. We have no conflict of interest or upsells – just clean, accurate books that pass inspection.
Already have a CPA or external auditor? Even better. We’ll coordinate with them to ensure everything lines up – no duplicated effort or billing overlap. Or if you need a CPA or auditor we can refer you to one of our trusted partners. (Note: We do not issue audit opinions, certify financials, or perform forensic investigations.)
A Proactive Approach
Audit-ready books year-round means no more waiting for the panic of an audit and then realizing you’re not ready. At Penney Counter, we go beyond basic reconciliations. We conduct ongoing risk-flagging, documentation checks, and remediation. Other firms stop when books are ready for auditing. We prevent future errors through monthly checkups.
We help fix issues before they become audit problems – not after. You don’t need to be under audit to benefit. It’s about staying prepared and confident year-round.
Industry and Compliance Specialty
Our deep experience with trust accounting compliance, 3-way reconciliations and proper ledger management means you get customized support beyond that of generalized platforms.
Integrity and Open Communication
We’re not just number crunchers. Our focus is on preparing your business for growth or getting it ready for scrutiny. Unlike big teams, we respond to you quickly and reliably.
Here’s what you get:
Clean, reconciled books:
Every transaction is properly categorized and tied out to bank, credit card, and loan statements.
Supporting documentation:
Receipts, invoices, payroll records, and contracts — all organized and matched to the books.

We ensure payroll reports match your books, and tax payments and filings are properly tracked.
Internal process checkups:
We flag risks, inconsistencies, or missing documentation so you can address them proactively.
