This is our commitment to quality and our commitment to you.
What Level of Assurance Do You Need?
GBA Provides All Financial Statements and Assurance Levels
Reporting on the financial performance of your organization is imperative as well as helpful. Audits, reviews, and compilations assist in financial planning, operating decisions, and investment decisions. In addition, such financial statements allow creditors to evaluate loan applications.
Determining which financial statement report best suits your needs depends on budgetary circumstances and the parties involved. Learn more about audits, reviews, and compilations below, or contact GBA if you have questions about which type of report is right for you.
- Audits ‑ High AssuranceDefined: An audit is an objective examination and evaluation of financial records. All information provided during an audit undergoes a verification process to confirm the financial statements are fairly stated and free of material misstatements. Audits provide the highest level of assurance.
- Reviews ‑ Limited AssuranceDefined: A review is a limited analysis of any material modifications that should be made in order for financial statements to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. A review is less comprehensive than an audit; therefore, it is an expression of "limited assurance."
- Compilations ‑ No AssuranceDefined: A compilation is the preparation of a report in the form of a financial statement based upon information provided by the company or client. The information being compiled and reported does not go through a verification process and no assurance is expressed that the statements are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Audit, Review, & Compilation Price Comparison
The price comparison of audits, reviews, and compilations occurs where extended time and assurance levels meet. Audits provide the highest level of assurance because they demand the most time; therefore, an audit is the most expensive service. It is generally known that a review can cost about 30% more than a compilation, and an audit can cost around 30‑40% more than a review. All GBA clients, regardless of the necessary service costs, receive the highest quality of attention and reporting. No matter the cost you pay, you can count on GBA.

Private Family Office (PFO) Services
Wealth management is extremely complex, requires numerous advisors, and is especially time consuming. For generations, America's wealthiest families have relied on private offices to resolve the complexity of wealth management. Your finances deserve the same attention.
The Benefits of a Private Family Office
When managing wealth, you have two choices: a traditional advisory model or a family office model. In the traditional advisory model you have an advisor for each of your service needs ‑ investments, insurance, taxes, legal documentation ‑ and you are left to make sure their work is coordinated. In the family office model you are free to concentrate on more important things than overseeing advisors because your advisors work together as a team, under one team coordinator. GBA understands that you don't have time for the traditional model. Your GBA financial advisory team will save you time, frustration, and successfully manage your wealth for you.
Disciplines Your Family Office Team of Advisors Can Collaborate On For You:
- Financial Planning
- Estate & Multi‑Generational Planning
- Personal Documentation Organization
- Tax Planning
- Bookkeeping & Accounting
- Bill Paying
- Concierge Services
- Privacy & Security Management Referral Coordination
- Property Advisory
Let GBA's Private Family Office Services coordinate your wealth management for you. We will help you avoid the hazards of multiple, unrelated advisors and the burden of coordinating their various financial decisions. Our professionals specialize in the services you need, including tax planning and preparation, financial planning, estate and trust planning, bookkeeping, and philanthropy management.
