The types of companies that benefit from the expertise of Blair & Associates, Inc. are...

Construction
The construction industry has many distinct business issues such as job costing, labor burden rates, overhead allocation rates, workers compensation issues, safety issues, bonding insurance and many others. The function of an accounting system is to record business transactions; however the by-product of accounting is to provide management with timely and accurate information with which to make informed business decisions. In today’s very competitive construction market, access to timely and accurate accounting information may be the difference between profit and loss.

Real Estate
Developers, brokers, real estate investors have very specific accounting and tax requirements including but not limited to passive activity loss rules, capitalized development costs, settlement costs, and capital gains vs. ordinary income. The complex and often confusing requirements demand that clients in this industry retain a CPA experienced in these matters.

Manufacturing
Our personnel have gained an in-depth knowledge of manufacturers and an understanding of manufacturing processes, as well as the related cost accounting systems which provides us the insight and ability to interpret management and production reporting information. The professionals of Blair & Associates have developed an expertise in working with the unique income and property tax provisions related to manufacturers. They are exceptionally qualified to advise their clients in this area.

Restaurants
Our firm represents many clients in the food service industry, from the fast food franchise to the Mom & Pop sit down eatery. These customers depend on us to know and understand the numerous regulations that are unique to this industry, such as teen employment laws, the reporting of tips, TIPS Tax Credits, sales and amusement tax reporting, and the various management ratios for food and labor costs.

Nonprofit Organizations
Nonprofit organizations provide a variety of integral services to the community. At the same time, their activities are constantly scrutinized by government agencies, politicians, contributors, supporters, and patrons. There are numerous factors that contribute to the success of a nonprofit organization: a clearly defined mission, sufficient fundraising and revenue generation, respected leadership, and a dedicated group of volunteers and staff. Without properly executed financial management, the nonprofit may do little more than survive.

Professional Services
From architects to insurance agents, engineers to graphic designers, we believe there is more to providing professional services than practicing your craft. The service provider must also consider the element of managing a business with efficiency and profitability. We can help streamline your business with advice that goes beyond traditional accounting and tax services.

• How can you expedite your billing and collection process?
• How do you respond to clients requesting compensation by fee rather than billable time?
