Opening Balance & First-Year Support
Help for companies facing their first independent audit — opening balances, prior-period restatements, and schedule templates.
Quote after scoping · Aligned to your first year-end calendar
For: Newly audited entities, subsidiaries spun out of larger groups, and companies changing auditors
First-year audits ask more of the accounting team: opening balances need evidence, prior estimates may need revisiting, and schedule formats often do not yet exist. We support finance teams with opening-balance procedures, template packs for aging and roll-forwards, and a readiness checklist timed to the engagement calendar.
This support can sit alongside our statutory audit or prepare you for another firm’s fieldwork. Tax advocacy and litigation support are not included.
