Small Businesses Funded by Government Programs

Here at Maher Duessel, we recognize the importance of small businesses and the hard work it takes to achieve success. Many small businesses rely on grant funding to achieve their goals - whether it be from taking their organization from a 'start up' to the next level or to help address critical community needs.

Standing with you as you grow and expand.

With more and more small businesses receiving grants and loans from government programs, many organizations are finding they need to perform a first-time audit (often times a Single Audit, which involves compliance with complicated federal regulatory requirements).  This can be a daunting prospect for a small business with limited staff or experience with the audit process.

Maher Duessel is a perfect fit to help your organization through the process due to our firm's unique focus on service to governments and non-profits. We have a detailed understanding of the financial reporting requirements for numerous federal programs, including the Small Business Administration (SBA). With 35 years of experience, we will patiently guide you through every phase of the audit process, enabling your business to continue to focus its priorities on your clients and customers.
