Competence means that although we perform auditing, tax and advisory services throughout the year, we don’t take that extensive experience for granted. We complement it with continuing education throughout the year. We use in-house and outside seminars, video and practice problems to do this. We have the latest computer software and training so that we will be efficient in our audit work and report summarization.
Common Sense means that we plan and perform our work and develop our training to focus on the areas that will help us identify potential problems or opportunities for you.
We are committed to confidentiality and clear communications. Confidentiality means that we respect the privacy of our clients, and the confidential nature of the information we receive. Our privacy policy confirms this.
Communications are important at Heveron & Company CPAs. We have regular training in listening, writing, speaking and other communications skills, and we realize the importance of understanding your needs and operations, interpreting financial trends in a way that will help you identify appropriate actions, discussing our findings and recommendations before they are formalized in writing, and advising you about our schedule, procedures and needs, and about changes in tax, compliance, accounting or other requirements that may affect you, as soon as possible.
