Simply, A Better QoE ™
At LCS, we pride ourselves on blending technical proficiency with practical, hands-on experience in the lower middle market. With our streamlined processes and reduced overhead, we can deliver a superior quality work product at a cost that's often 15% - 20% less than second-tier U.S. CPA firms. We focus on businesses valued between $10 million and $100 million, where we’ve built our expertise as CPAs, founders, investors, sellers, and advisors. This diverse background equips us to understand the unique accounting nuances, while our experience enables us to navigate complex issues during diligence without disrupting critical seller relationships. Above all, we aim to deliver efficient, effective solutions that empower clients with actionable financial insights to drive sound decision-making.
Our services go beyond numbers. We delve deep into the financials, identifying potential risks, opportunities, and irregularities that others may overlook. We understand that every transaction in this market carries weight, often involving long-standing relationships, family ownerships, or closely-knit partnerships. Therefore, we carefully balance the technical requirements of diligence with the importance of maintaining trust and goodwill between parties.
