Year End Accounting, Reporting and Audit Support

A real estate investment trust had fallen behind schedule in closing its books, preparing financial statements, and providing external auditors information required to complete the independent audit. A team from Horn Solutions directed the closing process, the preparation of draft financial statements, and management of the relationship with the independent audit firm. Our client provided the following assessment of our consultants.

“I was extremely impressed with the Horn Consultants. They quickly assessed our situation and developed a clear, comprehensive, and practical project plan. They worked extremely well with our management and staff and helped them to correct our accounting records and bring them up to date. They were especially effective in managing the external auditors. They kept them focused on key issues and provided to them audit supporting documentation that met or exceeded their standards. They had an outstanding work ethic and an exceptional ability to propose and negotiate problem resolutions.”

Vendor Recovery Project

A Fortune 100 company called upon Horn Solutions to assist with a vendor recovery project resulting from an accounts payable overpayment audit. A Big 4 audit firm performed the initial analysis, and we validated claims. We then contacted vendors to recover overpayments, when appropriate. Our client evaluated our project results as follows.

“I am very pleased with the outcome of the project that I outsourced to Horn Solutions. Not only did the direct results surpass my expectations, but the benefits from their work extended to other areas of our business that weren’t foreseen at the outset of the project.”
