Strategic Consulting

VanderSpek Howerzyl CPAs has extensive experience consulting with clients in a wide variety of areas.  When important decisions or changes are made, it pays to ask for outside advice.   As opportunities or risks arise, there are many facets to the considerations that must be made.  Other times, there is simply a knowledge that a change to the current situation needs to occur, and an outside perspective and opinion can reveal fresh alternatives. 

Please contact us for a consultation regarding any of the following: 

  • Impacts of financial decisions

  • Reducing business risk

  • Business model evaluation

  • Information security considerations

  • Preserving wealth

  • Retirement

Transaction and Succession Planning

What is the next step for your business?  When is the right time to sell?  Who will take over the management and day-to-day operations of the business?  Is a plan in place for the unexpected?    What is the tax effect of this deal’s structure, is there a better way to structure it? Often, we think we are too busy to consider these questions; we do not commit to being prepared and maximizing the selling price and post-tax cash flow from our business.  We’ve helped owners pass their businesses down from one generation to the next.  We’ve helped others in the acquisition or disposition transactions of their businesses.   Planning and structured implementation are the key to a smooth transition, whatever your goals are. 

We are here to help you plan and implement a succession plan for your business.
