Private Companies: Providing a Comprehensive Approach for Your Organization

At J.H. Cohn, you can count on private company experts who are knowledgeable in a wide array of industries. This, coupled with real-world experience, provides our clients with excellent customer service and technical skills. We have a proven track record of assisting middle-market companies, women-owned businesses, family-owned businesses, and small businesses.

We pride ourselves on a fast-track learning curve for our new clients. We review existing company information, obtain workpapers from your previous accountant, and have extensive client interaction during the planning stages of the engagement. As a value-added service to you, we also provide helpful and relevant benchmarking by doing a comparative analysis of similar clients in your industry.

It is our goal to achieve 100 percent client satisfaction.

Middle-Market Companies

Middle-market companies have been the 'bread and butter' of J.H. Cohn's business for 90 years. The proof of our abilities isn't just our list of middle-market clients—but how long some of those client relationships have lasted. Our clients come to us—and stay with us.

We help executives across a range of industries develop strategies and financial metrics to increase efficiencies and profitability. J.H. Cohn is expert in helping middle-market companies address today's challenges and opportunities.

You can look to us to help you develop customized solutions. By gaining a thorough understanding of your short- and long-term business goals and assessing your culture and employees, we are able to recommend and implement sound financial practices.

Women-Owned Businesses

Women are in business in a big way: women-owned businesses comprise between one-quarter and one-third of all businesses in the formal economy and most likely play an even greater role in informal sectors.

J.H. Cohn understands the challenges women-owned businesses face. We've helped our clients find cost-effective solutions for business issues such as attracting and retaining good employees, maintaining profitability, cash flow management, managing accounts receivable and accounts payable, and IT solutions, including managing hardware and software costs.

We leverage our commitment to helping women in our own Firm succeed to help your business succeed. Our team offers sound financial advice to women-owned businesses, proactively addressing their short- and long-term business goals.

Whether it's working hand in hand with your client service team, or benefiting from the experience of business women at J.H. Cohn, we are proud of our commitment to women-owned businesses.

Family-Owned Businesses

J.H. Cohn has been in business for 90 years, and we are proud to say we have many family-owned businesses that have been with us for almost as long.

We are now serving several third-generation clients, including one business that has been with us since 1921! We've kept their first financial statement as a reminder of how important families are to our business.

J.H. Cohn not only recognizes the issues that family-owned businesses face, we are a key resource for them. Our objective, practical approach guides family-owned businesses down the path to success and often defuses the emotions that are common to a family working together.

We provide support and assistance with the following business issues: budgeting, cash flow analysis and projections, compensation plans for key family members (working and non-working), and succession and strategic planning.

Small Businesses

At J.H. Cohn, there's nothing small about the service we offer small businesses. We have a division dedicated solely to the small and entrepreneurial business. We can assist you with cost-effective accounting and tax services, business structure, strategic planning, cash flow and projections, and IT solutions including technology implementation and support. Or we can simply assist you as a bookkeeper and make sure your taxes are filed properly and on time.

Our clients include: sole-proprietors, S-corporations, C-corporations, limited liability corporations, partnerships, and not-for-profit organizations.

We take into account your company's life cycle stage, providing a wide range of services that are critical to the continued success of every business. In the growth phase we assist with expansion, upgraded IT systems, and improved employee benefits plans. Mature companies have access to a myriad of services, including estate and succession planning, generational transition, leadership training, and other services for a more complex environment.
