Services — Business Analysis

SMD Consulting & Accounting, LLC offers a broad spectrum of services relating to business analysis.

Financial Modeling

If you find yourself trying to make a decision but you just don’t know how to quantify the impact of that decision, financial modeling may be the solution.

Some examples of situations where a financial model might be useful:

• Estimating the impact of leasing vs. buying,
• Assessing the need for additional employees,
• Gauging the tax implications of an investment,
• Communicating your projected earnings to an investor,
• Projecting the impact of an increase or decrease in sales,
• Calculating which locations are profitable and which aren’t,
• Determining how much commission to pay your sales team, and

If you are trying to make a big decision for your business or your family, and you don’t feel that “going with your gut” is enough; SMD Consulting & Accounting, LLC can help provide you with additional information to help you in that decision.
 

Compensation Analysis

In larger organizations, Human Resource departments perform a compensation analysis to determine if the salaries they are paying to their employees is in line with the industry standards. SMD Consulting & Accounting, LLC has experience in performing these same kinds of analyses.

A Compensation Analysis can be performed for a single individual, a sales team, executives, a department, and/or entire businesses. If you don’t have an HR Department to perform these studies for you, SMD Consulting & Accounting, LLC can step in and provide that resource.

Exit Strategy & Succession Planning

What Is the Goal for Your Business?

Understanding what your ultimate goal with your business is can help guide your daily decisions. How you run a business that you are planning on selling in five years may be entirely different than how you run it one you are passing on to your kids. SMD Consulting & Accounting, LLC works with business owners to first understand and define their ultimate goals, and then to establish the steps to achieve those goals.

Cost Segregation

If you own Commercial Property worth $1,000,000 or more, you need to call SMD Consulting & Accounting, LLC. It is really that simple.

Cost Segregation is a study performed on the commercial property you own to determine what portions of that property can be segregated out to shorter depreciable lives. A shorter depreciable life means a larger tax deduction today instead of waiting 39 years to realize the full benefit of that deduction.

While every situation is different, studies have shown that for every $1,000,000 of property you reclassify for faster depreciation write-offs, the present value of your increased cash flow from income tax savings is approximately $230,000!!

Please Note - a business owner cannot just segregate items out on their own at their own discretion. Full documentation and procedures recognized in IRS rulings and judicial decisions is a necessary part of a properly performed Cost Segregation Analysis.
