In today's progressive business environment, the "one size fits all" approach to professional services is no longer acceptable. Our professionals provide value-added services that specifically address the unique needs of our clients while building a strong relationship that leads to brilliant results.

FORENSIC ACCOUNTING

NOT FOR PROFIT
In today's corporate landscape, Not-for-Profit organizations are increasingly becoming the major providers of specialized goods and services in our urban and suburban communities. With these increases in services and community exposure, Not-for-profit organizations are constantly challenged by increasingly complex fiscal and budgetary issues as well as often-changing financial reporting requirements. Many times human and capital resources are limited and these not-for-profit organizations are constrained by an organizational structure that makes it very difficult to face these challenges alone.

Our professionals are highly skilled in providing the services that are desired within the not-for-profits arena. Our services include:

STARTUP and SMALL BUSINESS
Small businesses and entrepreneurs are the life-blood of today's economy. As more and more Fortune 500 companies and other large corporations cut back their workforces and close corporate facilities, individuals are forced to explore other ways to earn a living. Many times these displaced workers find themselves moving to small companies with less than 50 employees or simply following their dreams and starting a business of their own. The United States Department of Labor estimates that more than 75 percent of the country's workforce is employed by small businesses with less than 50 people. In addition, businesses that are less than 3 years old are becoming a major force on the business landscape. For smaller business enterprises, sound financial strategies and systems are critical to survival. Maintaining control over financial management activities and financial reporting is challenging but must be the primary concern of small business owners. Lopez and Company specializes in helping small businesses overcome the obstacles in the marketplace. We provide the small business owner with access to professionals that are skilled in the issues, trends, and financial reporting policies and regulations that affect your business. We can help start up and small businesses:
MINORITY OWNED BUSINESS
Diversity among business owners is growing at a rapid pace. More than ever, members of our minority communities are taking the steps towards entrepreneurship while changing the face of corporate America. Increased diversity in our business environment is very exciting. Diversity brings new ideas, innovations, business cultures, and business strategies that have been historically overlooked. Programs sponsored by the Federal, State, and local governments are creating more and more opportunities for minority business owners. Programs, such as, the Small Business Association's ("SBA") 8(a) program help minority business owners penetrate the marketplace and reach new customer demographics. Lopez and Company is a minority-owned business; therefore, we understand the obstacles that face many minority business owners. We are committed to helping minority business owners maneuver these obstacles and achieve success by building a strong financial infrastructure and developing the skills necessary to reach all of their goals.
