Building a business is never easy.
Maintaining it and passing it on to the next generation can be even more challenging. But you don’t have to do this by yourself! At Dedekian, George, Small & Markarian, we specialize in working with privately-held and multi-generational family-owned businesses that want to keep their business intact for future generations.
Privately-held and family-owned businesses face unique financial challenges and emotional family conflicts. The ownership share of a business often represents the most significant asset for an owner or family. As such, it is critical that they plan out both their personal and financial needs accordingly, especially when deciding to exit or transition from the business.
At DGSM, our clients include privately-held and family-owned companies operating locally and regionally across various industries, including agriculture, construction, and manufacturing. For more than 40 years, we have been helping the owners and their families maximize their wealth potential.
Our services include:
- Tax preparation and planning services
- Outsourced accounting & CFO services
- Audit, review, and compilation services
- Multi-state and local taxes
- Estate and trust services
- Strategic consulting services
- Business valuation
- Succession & exit planning strategies
- New business formation
- Bank financing
- Transactional services
