Tax Planning & Compliance
Financial Reporting & Assurance
Estate, Gift & Trust
Business Consulting
Client Accounting Services

We service clients in a wide variety of industries including these main segments:

Financial Reporting and Assurance

Business decisions are only as good as the information they are based upon. At Trinity Accounting Group we have a commitment to help our clients and the users of their financial statements improve the quality of such information.

We take a proactive and client involved approach to planning and implementing engagements. Financial statements users range from investors and owners to lenders and regulatory agencies. The financial statements we produce are done in a manner to be meaningful to both the management and the users of the financial statements. We work with both the client and the end users of the financial statements to determine what specific supplementary information should be attached for each specific engagement.

Trinity Accounting Group carefully considers each individual client to determine the appropriate level of service. Based on your current needs and long-term goals and the responsibility we have to investors, owners, lenders and our clients, we will work with you to determine the most appropriate level of assurance to be provided. Regardless of the level of service we provide, we will provide the client with any control weaknesses, fraud risks, or accounting issues that we identify

Estate & Trust

Trinity Accounting Group provides all aspects of Estate Planning and Estate & Trust Administration.

Estate Planning

Effective estate planning facilitates the orderly transfer of assets to your beneficiaries, provides security for your surviving spouse, and can reduce or eliminate the tax due on the transfer of your business and other assets.

For business owners, providing for business continuity and succession of ownership is essential. Estate tax planning at Trinity Accounting Group involves reviewing each client's current estate tax situation - including wills and trust documents - and developing an estate tax plan that will maximize the assets available for passing on to future generations. In this process, we consider:

The needs of the surviving spouse
Charitable inclinations
Insurance needs
Protection of family businesses
Use of trusts and/or family limited partnerships, etc.
Lifetime gifting
Other estate tax minimization and asset protection strategies

Trinity Accounting Group will assist you in formulating a specific plan to provide that your estate passes to your heirs with minimal tax consequences.
