Reliable Compilations for Small and Start-Up Enterprises

Clear, well-organized financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, giving startups, nonprofits, and small businesses the documentation they need for internal decision-making, smaller loans, and day-to-day credibility without the added cost of assurance services.

Connecticut Specific Requirements

Even though Connecticut law does not require compiled statements for nonprofits under $500,000 in revenue, many organizations still prepare them for boards, lenders, or growth planning. Compilations offer a cost-effective way for small enterprises to stay organized and professional while meeting documentation expectations.

  • Nonprofits with revenue under $500k: Compilations are great for boards & planning.

  • Companies with SBA Loans & revenue under $7.5M: A compilation is required.

  • Construction Companies: Surety companies may accept compilations for smaller projects.

  • Homeowners Associations: Compilations provide clarity & transparency for owners & boards.

  • Start-Ups & Owner-Managed businesses: compilations provide credibility and a framework for growth.

Compilations Vs. Bookkeeping & Why It Matters:

  • Compilations provide CPA level organized financial statements for decision-making when assurance is unnecessary.

  • Accepted for SBA 8(a) participants with receipts under $7.5 million and some small surety bond requirements.

  • A practical starting point for new businesses planning to move into reviewed or audited statements later.

  • FSI will work with your Bookkeeper to provide your Compilation level financial statements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a compilation involve?

In a compilation, FSI organizes your financial information into the proper statement formats but does not verify or test the underlying data. Because no assurance is provided, compiled statements are marked with a disclaimer that they may not be suitable for all purposes.

When should I choose a compilation rather than a review?

If you only need financial statements for internal management, tax preparation, small loans or to meet low‑risk requirements, a compilation may be sufficient and more cost‑effective. If lenders or investors need some level of assurance, or if you are subject to a regulatory threshold, a review or audit may be required.

Do I need to be independent to perform a compilation?

CPA independence is not required for compilations, but FSI will disclose any lack of independence in our report. We are happy to discuss whether independence might matter for your stakeholders.
