FAQs

Got a question about our audit preparation services that you didn't see answered on this page? Below, we've listed some of the most common questions we hear from clients, as well as our answers. If you still don't see what you're looking for, contact us now – we're happy to talk.
What does audit preparation involve?
Audit preparation means ensuring your financial records, documentation, and accounting systems are ready for the scrutiny of a financial statement audit. That includes reconciling accounts, reviewing internal controls, and preparing financial statements and footnotes before the audit begins.
Why do so many companies outsource audit prep?
Internal finance and accounting teams are often busy closing the books or managing day-to-day operations. Outsourcing audit prep gives you experienced support focused solely on getting your audit done right — without burdening your staff or risking delays. Working with an external provider also gives you an objective assessment of your books that helps you proactively tackle issues before they’re raised in an audit. It’s an approach that accelerates audit timelines and reduces your overall costs.
What makes G-Squared Partners different from other outsourced providers?
We bring a CFO’s perspective to every audit prep engagement. Our team has worked on both sides of the table — preparing audits and conducting them — so we know how to anticipate auditor needs, resolve issues proactively, and keep the process moving.
What types of companies do you typically work with?
We work with startups, growth-stage companies, and mid-market businesses — especially those preparing for their first audit, raising capital, or gearing up for a transaction. Our clients span industries including SaaS, healthcare, manufacturing, and real estate.
Can you help if this is our first audit?
Yes. First-time audits can be overwhelming, and we’re here to help prepare you for the process. We’ll help you understand what to expect, get your records organized, and make sure everything is in place to avoid surprises.
Will you catch issues before the auditors do?
That’s the goal. We conduct a pre-audit review to identify common problem areas — like revenue recognition errors, missing documentation, or timing mismatches — so they can be addressed early, not flagged during the auditor’s fieldwork.
What happens if our books are behind or messy?
That’s not unusual. We frequently clean up past accounting periods, fix prior errors, and get your accounts current as part of audit prep. No matter your starting point, we’ll get you ready for your upcoming audit.
When should we engage an audit preparation service?
It depends on how clean your books are and how much support you need, but most clients engage us 60–90 days before the audit begins. Typically, we find that the sooner we start, the smoother the process.
How do we get started?
Schedule a short consultation. We’ll review your timeline, assess your current readiness, and develop a custom plan that ensures your company is well-prepared for its next audit.
