Financial Services We Provide

Saranac Lake & Lake Placid Accountants

Adirondack Audit Co. Financial Services

Taxes, payroll and financial reporting may be your responsibility. But they’re our job. Staying on top of changing tax laws and regulations is a full-time endeavor—one we’re proud to stay on top of. Each of our accountants spends more than 40 hours a year learning about the latest changes to tax code, ensuring we deliver you the most up-to-date advice.

After decades in business, we haven’t just built a solid reputation with our clients. We’re also confident speaking on your behalf before the IRS, Department of Labor, and other taxing entities. Without years of experience, those conversations can be daunting. And we have years of experience.

But don’t just take our word for it: Since 1992, we’ve participated in the triennial peer review program offered by the American Institute of CPAs. Our most recent review in 2019 earned us the highest possible rating.

Accounting & Bookkeeping

We’ll work with you to assess your basic accounting and tax needs, and then establish a system to ensure your accounts and routines are properly implemented. Once you get going, we’ll be there to ensure the system is on track and working smoothly.

QuickBooks Installation & Support

User-friendly accounting software can be a boon. Take advantage of our skill and knowledge to ensure your QuickBooks system is efficient and accurate—so you can be confident in your data from the beginning. Too often, we’re called on to help untangle problems that result from poorly designed QuickBooks systems. Getting off to the right start ultimately saves time and money.

Compiling Financial Statements

Adirondack Audit Co. has years of experience producing financial statements intended for banks, foundations and granting organizations. Our team is proud to be a trusted partner for many non-profit groups in the Adirondacks—providing not just financial insight, but serving on their boards—and we know how critical accurate reporting is to their continued viability. In fact, our CEO, John Huttlinger Jr., is a recipient of the Michael Urbach Community Development Award, given annually to a CPA who serves on charitable organizations’ boards of directors.

Tax Services

When you work with Adirondack Audit Co., our work doesn’t start with your next return. Whether you approach us for an individual or business return, we begin by understanding your situation, and then reviewing earlier returns to ensure we know the best way to move forward.

Some paid preparers stick closely to a checklist when going through your return, and do-it-yourself software fills in the boxes, but doesn’t provide insight. But no algorithm can capture your individual needs. By combining years of experience with up-to-the-minute knowledge of changes in the tax landscape, our advice saves both money and future problems.

In addition, we prepare fiduciary tax returns for estates and trust, and can walk you through challenging tax planning and research to ensure you know how your business and investment decisions are likely to affect you before you take action.

Business Services

As a small business owner, you have countless priorities competing for your time. Payroll and sales taxes, though, are non-negotiable: If you get them wrong, or miss a deadline, the consequences can be severe.

Adirondack Audit Co. has the knowledge to take care of these complex matters. And the bandwidth to stay on top of the endless deadlines for making payments, filing paperwork and ensuring that paychecks are delivered, accurately and on time, to the people who make sure your business runs smoothly. When you turn to us, it’s like adding accountants to your team. So you can put other things on your plate.
