AvMar Accounting Services

AvMar Accounting has been serving the yachting community and small businesses of Fort Lauderdale for the past eight years. Our philosophy at AvMar Accounting can be summed up as follows:

Provide an excellent service at a fair price.
Educate ourselves so we may provide the most current, accurate, and technically savvy advice in an ever changing and fluid tax/accounting environment.

At AvMar we pride ourselves on being accessible to our clients. If a client has a concern or question, they get a timely response from one of the partners, Tom Andrews or Lisa Marshall, whether it is on the weekend or on evenings.

At AvMar we also understand that many of our clients travel and are in the yachting community, which means they are not at home to check mail and may not have access to the documents they need to conduct their daily business. Lisa and I have invested in an infrastructure that allows us to transmit and collect data electronically, making it possible for you to seamlessly communicate with us whether you are on the yacht or stuck doing a refit in South America.

In order to better serve you we provide the following services:

By keeping current on new tax laws and legislation, we are in a position to identify key tax planning opportunities that minimize both your current and future tax liabilities. We provide our individual and business clients with the taxation expertise and knowledge that they deserve throughout the year. Tax services offered include, but are not limited to:

Compilations

We view our role in the financial reporting process as an opportunity to provide constructive solutions for maximizing your company's profitability and efficiency. Compilations differ from reviews and audits as they are based upon client information provided and used primarily for internal use only as no assurance is expressed.

Financial Statements

We can assist you in the preparation of your financial statements in accordance with professional standards, but express no opinion or any other form of assurance on the underlying information included in them. The financial statements produced can be a useful tool for management for making financial decisions.
