What is a CPA Review and how is it different from an audit?
A CPA Review is an assurance engagement where a CPA evaluates financial statements using analytical procedures and inquiries to determine whether they are free from material misstatement. Unlike an audit, a review does not include detailed testing, verification, or internal control evaluation. Reviews provide limited assurance, while audits provide reasonable assurance.
Who typically needs a CPA Review Report?
Organizations often need a CPA Review when lenders, investors, state regulators, funding sources, or platforms require financial statements with an independent level of assurance but not a full audit. Reviews are required for privately held entities, schools, regulated industries, and companies preparing for future capital raises.
How long does a CPA Review engagement take?
The timeline varies based on the condition of your accounting records and responsiveness during the document request phase. Most review engagements take 1–6 weeks once all information is provided.
Do you provide bookkeeping or cleanup before the review?
Yes. If your books are not ready for a CPA Review, we step in and clean them up. We organize your records, align everything with GAAP, and prepare your financial statements so the review can begin without delays. If you need bookkeeping support after the project, we connect you with trusted accounting partners from our referral network.
