Accounting & Bookkeeping
Reliable financial recordkeeping is the foundation of a well-run business.

We handle day-to-day transaction recording, account reconciliation, financial statement preparation, and cash flow monitoring, giving clients the information they need to manage operations confidently. Our approach is tailored to each client's size and structure, whether they need ongoing monthly support or periodic review and cleanup of existing records.
Operational & Regulatory Audits
These audits examine how an organization's internal systems, processes, and policies are functioning relative to applicable laws, regulations, and internal guidelines. Compliance audits assess whether the organization is meeting its regulatory obligations. Management and performance audits evaluate operational efficiency and resource utilization. Findings are documented and presented to leadership with supporting detail. These engagements are commonly conducted for nonprofits, government contractors, and organizations in regulated industries.
Tax Planning & Preparation
Navigating tax obligations requires more than accurate filing. It requires planning, foresight, and a clear understanding of how tax decisions affect the broader financial picture. CJL & Associates provides professional tax preparation and compliance services for both individuals and business entities, covering federal, state, and local requirements. We also work with clients on proactive tax planning strategies aimed at minimizing liability, managing the timing of income and deductions, and preparing for changes in tax law. Our goal is to help clients stay compliant while making the most of every available opportunity within the code.
Independent Audit Services
An independent audit is an objective examination of an organization's financial statements conducted in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The process involves reviewing financial records, assessing internal controls, and issuing a formal opinion on whether the statements are accurate and fairly presented. Audit findings are documented and provided to the organization for use with boards, lenders, investors, or regulatory bodies as required.
Executive Financial Advisory
Advisory engagements provide organizations with financial analysis and guidance on specific business questions or decisions. Work in this area may include business planning support, financial projections, international business structuring, and operational assessments. Christopher Lee's background as a CFO and international business advisor informs the firm's approach to these engagements. Advisory services are scoped based on the client's specific circumstances and are not tied to a fixed service structure.
