Financial Audits
CLIENT TOOL BOX
After several years on the sidelines, The ELLIS CPA FIRM is performing financial audits once again.
WE CANVASSED COMMUNITY LEADERS
When we decided to consider this move, we met with a handful of Western Colorado leaders. Though many of them were more interested in our unique
tax services, we got the response we expected. Without exception they all encouraged us. According to them, a third audit alternative is sorely needed on the Western Slope.

We heard absolutely no complaints about the professionalism or proficiency of other auditing firms. However, we did learn that (1) some organizations have already gone to the front range for auditors, or they have strongly considered it, (2) local auditing firms are over worked and under staffed, (3) audit reports are issued late or at the last minute, and (4) clients are left uninformed and in the dark.
DISTINGUISHING QUALITIES
The Ellis CPA Firm PC brings the following three qualities to the table that distinguish us from other firms and provide unique benefits to client organizations in this new audit environment.
DEEP EXPERIENCE
EXPERIENCE @ THE HIGHEST LEVELS
At the Ellis Firm, we have years of experience auditing at the very highest levels of the profession with the largest auditing and consulting firm in the world.
EXPERIENCE WITH THE FORTUNE 500
At the Ellis Firm we have years of experience as executives for Fortune 500 companies, NASDAQ companies and international bankcards hiring and firing outside auditors.
EXPERIENCE @ THE LOCAL LEVLE
At the Ellis Firm we have years of experience auditing local clients with local firms, including our own.
NATIONAL TAX PRACTICE
We discontinued auditing several years ago when we felt the profession had fallen into disarray. Now that we are moving back into auditing we are using the same approach that we used to build our national tax practice. As the saying goes, we will dance with the one that brung us.
FORENSICS PRACTICE
As a forensics firm we bring an eye for the possibility of fraud to the table. We start each audit with a ratio analysis designed to alert us to any possible areas of fraud.
NATIONALLY RENOWNED CLIENT SERVICE
We built a national tax practice on our client service and referrals. An entire department is devoted to keeping clients in the loop, satisfied and happy. We see no reason to change our approach as we begin to offer local audits. As the saying goes, “We’ll dance with the one that brung us.”
EVERYTHING IN AUDITING IS CHANGING
GAAP ... International standards ... new Auditing Standards ... risk assessment ... tying internal controls to the audit program ... in fact the entire approach to auditing is changing, including the focus ... Maybe this is the time for you to change too.
If you are thinking about changing auditors, this a great time to pull the trigger.
