Types of Financial Statement Services We Offer

Different situations call for varying levels of financial reporting. At GTA Accounting Group, we provide flexible financial statement preparation services in New Jersey to meet your needs.

Whether you're applying for a loan, reporting to stakeholders, or simply getting your books in order.

Financial Statement Preparation New Jersey
Compilation/Review

Compilation

A compiled financial statement is created using your existing financial data. It includes a CPA cover page but no assurance of accuracy. This is ideal for internal use or when a third party, such as a lender, requests a basic set of CPA-prepared financial statements.

You’ll benefit from:

  • Cleanly formatted reports for internal or external use
  • Faster turnaround than reviewed or audited statements
  • Lower cost when full assurance isn’t required

Review

A reviewed financial statement includes limited assurance from a CPA that the financials are free from material misstatement. Banks, investors, and some state grant programs often require this level of service.

It involves:

  • Analytical procedures and inquiries by a licensed CPA
  • A signed review report (not an audit)
  • Compliance with AICPA standards
  • Eligibility for programs that require CPA-reviewed statements

Preparation/Audit

Preparation-Only Reports

This is for internal use only. We prepare your profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow statement from your bookkeeping records without a CPA letter or formal cover page. It's an excellent option for smaller businesses needing clarity and structure without outside verification.

Audit Support Services

While we do not perform audits, we work alongside your auditor to:

  • Organise and prepare supporting schedules
  • Clean up historical data.
  • Ensure your records are complete and audit-ready

For All Businesses (LLCs, Corporations, and Partnerships)

Under New Jersey law and federal tax rules, all registered businesses must maintain “adequate books and records.” These must support accurate reporting of:

  • Gross receipts
  • Expenses
  • Payroll
  • Deductions
  • Net income or loss

Although there is no explicit state law requiring compiled or reviewed statements for every business, well-prepared financial statements are essential for:

  • Filing your annual federal and state tax returns
  • Complying with New Jersey Gross Income Tax or CBT (Corporate Business Tax) obligations
  • Satisfying lenders or financial partners

For Nonprofits in New Jersey

According to the New Jersey Charitable Registration and Investigation Act, charitable organisations registered in the state must follow these reporting requirements:

  • Gross revenue over $500,000 requires audited financial statements prepared by an independent CPA
  • Gross revenue between $250,000 and $500,000 requires CPA-reviewed financial statements.
  • Under $250,000 may submit a signed financial report or compiled statement.

These documents must be submitted annually to the Division of Consumer Affairs, Charities Registration Section.

For NJEDA Programs and Business Grants

Many New Jersey state funding programs, such as those offered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA), require:

  • CPA-certified compiled or reviewed financial statements
  • Reports that follow GAAP standards and include full-year figures
  • Statements submitted as part of grant or incentive program applications

Record Retention Requirements

Businesses in New Jersey must retain supporting financial documentation, including bank statements, ledgers, receipts, and tax returns, according to IRS and New Jersey Division of Taxation guidelines for a minimum of four years.

How GTA Helps

We stay current with changing state rules and industry-specific requirements. Our reports are fully compliant with NJ financial statement requirements, ensuring you're always prepared—whether for a tax return, audit, or funding application.

New Jersey Requirements for Financial Reporting

If you operate a business or nonprofit in New Jersey, you may be required to prepare and retain financial statements for legal and regulatory compliance. While the exact requirements vary depending on your business type and size, here are the most important rules to be aware of:

Why Accurate Financial Statements Matter

Financial Statement Preparation New Jersey

Financial statements aren’t just paperwork — they’re essential tools for understanding your business, planning your future, and staying legally compliant.

If your records are incomplete or inaccurate, you could face problems with lenders, tax authorities, or even your decision-making.

Here’s Why They’re So Important:

They Show Your Financial Health

A proper income statement (profit and loss) and balance sheet show how your business is performing and what it’s worth. These documents help you make smart choices about spending, saving, and growing.

They’re Required for Tax Filing

Whether you file as a sole proprietor or corporation, you need accurate financial data to complete your tax returns. Mistakes here can lead to audits, penalties, or overpayment.

They’re Needed for Loans and Funding

Banks, grant programs, and investors usually ask for compiled or reviewed financial statements before approving your request. You may lose out on essential opportunities if you don't have them.

They Help with Strategic Planning

Understanding your cash flow, net income, and equity position allows you to plan, avoid cash shortages, and invest wisely.

They’re Required for Certain NJ Entities

For example:

  • Nonprofits with over $500,000 in gross revenue must submit audited financial statements to the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs.
  • Businesses applying to NJEDA programs must provide CPA-prepared financial statements to be eligible.

Your financial statements aren’t just for the IRS but for you.

How GTA Prepares Your Financial Statements

We follow a structured process to deliver accurate, reliable, and fully compliant financial statements for businesses in New Jersey. Whether you’re preparing for tax season, financing, or regulatory reporting, our approach is built for clarity, speed, and peace of mind.

Step 1: Free Consultation

We start by learning about your business, goals, and why you need financial statements — whether for internal planning, investor reporting, or meeting a specific requirement like an NJEDA grant or nonprofit filing.

Step 2: Review of Your Books

We’ll request access to your accounting software, spreadsheets, or financial records. If you also use GTA for bookkeeping services, we already have the data ready. If your books need cleanup, we’ll let you know before proceeding.

Step 3: Data Cleanup and Adjustments (If Needed)

We look over your records for missing or inconsistent entries. This step may include reconciling bank accounts, correcting categorisations, adding depreciation schedules, ensuring accuracy before statements are prepared.

Step 4: Statement Preparation

Using your cleaned financial data, we prepare your:

  • Income Statement
  • Balance Sheet
  • Cash Flow Statement
  • Any additional reports required (e.g., Statement of Retained Earnings)
    Depending on your needs, these are prepared under GAAP, IFRS, or custom formats.
Step 5: Final Review and Delivery

We send your statements for review and can provide secure, professional delivery if you need them sent to a lender, auditor, or third party. We’ll also walk you through the reports so you understand what they show—no jargon, just clarity.

We make financial reporting easy, accurate, and stress-free — so you can focus on running your business.

When You Might Need Financial Statements

Even if you're not legally required to prepare financial statements, there are many situations in which having professionally prepared documents is essential or expected.

What’s Included in Financial Statement Preparation

When you hire GTA Accounting Group to prepare your financial statements, you receive clear, organised, and GAAP-compliant reports that reflect the economic condition of your business. These reports are suitable for internal planning, tax filing, loan applications, and more.

Here’s what’s typically included:

Income Statement (Profit & Loss Statement)

Shows your revenue, expenses, and profit over a specific period. This statement helps you understand how your business is performing and where your money is going.

Balance Sheet

It gives you a snapshot of your assets, liabilities, and equity, which is essential for evaluating your business's overall health.

Cash Flow Statement

It breaks down how cash moves in and out of your business — operations, investments, and financing — helping you plan for bills, payroll, or investments.

Statement of Retained Earnings (if applicable)

It is used primarily for corporations. It shows changes in equity and how much profit is being reinvested into the business.

Supporting Schedules or Notes (if needed)

We may also include additional schedules for depreciation, accounts receivable ageing, or any other items lenders or investors might request.

Prepared by:

  • Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
  • IFRS if required
  • Specific formatting for NJ-based banks, government agencies, or nonprofits

Whether you need statements compiled, reviewed, or prepared for internal use, we tailor the format to your goals.

Who Needs Financial Statements in New Jersey

Financial statements aren’t just for large corporations — they’re essential for businesses and organisations of all sizes. At GTA Accounting Group, we work with a wide range of clients across New Jersey who rely on financial statements for tax reporting, funding, compliance, and strategic growth.
Here’s how we support different types of organisations:

Financial Statement Preparation New Jersey

Small Businesses

Whether you run a retail shop, service-based business, or construction company, financial statements help you stay on top of income, expenses, and profitability — and they’re often required for tax filing or applying for small business financing.

Startups

Startups preparing for funding rounds or investor updates need transparent and organised financials. We create simple, investor-ready reports that explain your cash flow, burn rate, and runway.

Nonprofits

New Jersey nonprofits with annual revenues of over $500,000 must submit audited financial statements to the Division of Consumer Affairs. We also prepare statements for grant compliance and board reporting.

Real Estate Firms and Property Managers

From rental income tracking to property-specific balance sheets, we help real estate investors and firms prepare statements that reflect actual asset values, liabilities, and net cash flow.

Corporations and Partnerships

State law requires corporations and limited liability companies (LLCS) to maintain records that support their financial reporting. Our CPA-prepared reports ensure compliance and readiness for tax time or changes in ownership.

Franchisees and Multi-Location Businesses

We produce segmented financials that help you track each location’s performance, making it easier to manage operations and report to franchisors.

Financial statements aren’t just a formality — they’re the foundation for transparency, compliance, and smart business decisions.
