Audit Support

Audit support for US CPA firms

Workpapers, testing and schedules prepared to the standard your reviewer expects. Our partners spent years inside PwC audit teams, so the files are built the way a reviewer wants to receive them.

Overview

Audit prep is the work that keeps partners in the office

Schedules that arrive incomplete become your problem, not the preparer’s. Every file here is checked against your own audit programme before it leaves us, so your reviewer opens a file that is ready rather than one that needs another round.

Audit support outsourcing lets a US CPA firm take on more engagements without adding headcount before busy season. We prepare the workpapers, testing documentation and lead schedules that sit underneath an audit opinion, so your in-house team spends its hours on judgement, review and client conversations rather than on assembling files.

Our partners trained at PwC and spent years on the reviewer’s side of an audit. That matters, because a workpaper is written for the person who has to sign off on it. Files leave us referenced, cross-cast and tied to the trial balance, prepared to the format your firm already uses rather than to a template of ours.

  • Firms running December and June year-ends who need capacity in the eight weeks that follow
  • Firms whose clients are moving into a Big Four or peer review engagement for the first time
  • Firms that have lost an audit senior and need continuity before the next cycle
  • Firms taking on a larger audit client than their current bench comfortably supports

What changes

Results you should expect

Fewer review points

Files arrive already checked against your audit programme, so review time goes into judgement, not correction.

Predictable turnaround

Work sent at the end of your day is back the next morning because of the time zone overlap.

Documentation that holds up

Testing is documented to the standard a peer reviewer expects, not summarised after the fact.

How we work

Every file is checked three times before it reaches you

1
Prepared

A dedicated accountant

One qualified person assigned to your firm, working in your software and following your checklists.

2
Reviewed

A CPA manager

A second qualified review against your own review points, before the file comes back to you.

3
Approved

A partner

A partner signs off every deliverable, so you always know who is responsible for the work.

Questions

Common questions about this service

Do you work in our audit software?

Yes. We work inside your environment under logins your firm issues and controls, so working papers never leave your system. We are used to Caseware and Suralink-style portals as well as plain Excel and PDF workflows.

A CPA manager reviews every file against your audit programme, then a partner approves it. You receive work that has already been through a review comparable to your own.

Yes. We adopt your indexing, tickmarks and lead schedule structure during onboarding. We do not ask you to move to a house template.

No. We are an audit support practice. The opinion, the judgement and the sign-off remain entirely with your firm. We prepare the file underneath it.
