Industries We Serve
We chose these industries by design, and we have continually invested in them for over fifty years.
Each industry team below stays involved in its industry beyond client work: presenting at conferences, sitting on planning committees, writing for industry publications, and hosting events. Our insurance team attends IASA. CICA membership covers our captive practice, along with the state captive associations in Utah, Vermont, Arizona, Texas, and North Carolina. The benefit plan audit group are members of the AICPA’s EBPAQC. Our government group attends GFOA and presents at Utah city and county conferences.
We also host free CPE industry-specific audit and tax training for our clients' in-house CPAs once or twice a year, at no charge. A client who understands the standards as well as we do makes for a better working relationship on both sides.
Insurance
SSAP Experts serving Property & Casualty, Life, and Health Insurance Carriers, Managed General Agents, Risk Retention Groups, and warranty companies.
We work with insurance entities year-round, including insurance carriers, MGAs, RRGs, and warranty companies. Whether you need an audit, tax return preparation, or consulting support, our team brings the insurance expertise needed to get the work done efficiently. You can spend less time training the audit or accounting team and more time focused on running your business.
Common services include: statutory audit, GAAP conversion, reserve review coordination, premium tax, and internal control assessment.
Captive Insurance
Serving single parent captives, group captives, cells, risk retention groups, and the managers who administer them.
We provide audit and tax services to more than 250 captives across many U.S. domiciles. Whether you have a single-parent captive, protected cell structure, agency captive, or risk pool, our team has the experience to help you navigate your audit and tax needs. We work directly with captive managers as a highly efficient partner who provides excellent quality of service.
Common services commonly used: captive audit, captive tax filings (including 831(b) considerations), and feasibility support.
Tourism and Hospitality
Lodging, outfitters, restaurants, and seasonal operators.
Our Moab office sits in the middle of one of the most seasonal economies in the country, which taught us how to work with businesses that make most of their revenue in a handful of months. That means cash flow planning built around the season, sales tax compliance across jurisdictions, and reporting that tracks alongside the financials.
Common services include: outsourced accounting, tax planning and compliance, cash flow forecasting, and reviews and compilations.

Small and Medium Business
Serving privately held companies, professional practices, construction, manufacturing, and services.
Owners in this category usually need three things: accurate books they can trust, a tax position that saves you money, and someone to call before a decision instead of after it. We build the engagement around your unique needs, and we scale up as the company grows.
Common services include: outsourced accounting and controller support, business and owner tax planning, audits, reviews and compilations, growth advisory, and succession planning.
Employee Benefit Plans and 401(k)
Serving plan sponsors and pooled employer plan providers nationwide.
When an employee benefit plan reaches the participant threshold requiring an audit, compliance becomes more than a filing obligation, it becomes another fiduciary responsibility. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) can reject deficient audits, and the responsibility ultimately rests with the plan sponsor. We are a leading provider of employee benefit plan audits, performing a high volume of 401(k), 403(b), ESOP, and Health and Welfare ERISA plan audits each year. Both the AICPA and the DOL recognize auditor specialization and audit volume as key indicators of audit quality.
Common services Include: 401(k) Plan Audits, 403(b) Plan Audits, Health and Welfare ERISA Plan Audits, DOL Cybersecurity Readiness Assessments for Plan Fiduciaries, Internal Control and Operational Compliance Reviews.
Nonprofit
Serving charities, foundations, associations, religious organizations, and social service agencies.
Nonprofit accounting carries requirements that for-profit entities never encounter: net asset classification, donor restrictions, functional expense allocation, in-kind contribution valuation, and, for organizations spending federal awards above the threshold, a single audit under the Uniform Guidance. Add Form 990 as a public document that donors and watchdog groups actually read, and the stakes go beyond compliance.
Common services include: financial statement audit, single audit, Form 990 and 990-T preparation, outsourced accounting, accounting services, and board and governance advisory.
Government
Serving cities, counties, special service districts, territories, public authorities, charter schools, public infrastructure districts (PIDs), infrastructure financing districts (IFDs), and municipal entities.
Government audits run under Government Auditing Standards, commonly called the Yellow Book, with GASB reporting on top and often a single audit alongside it. Deadlines are statutory, the report goes to a governing body in a public meeting, and the state auditor or cognizant oversight agency may review the work. We schedule government engagements around the fiscal year end calendar so the report lands when the entity needs it.
Common services include: Yellow Book audit, single audit or program specific audits, GASB implementation support, agreed upon procedures, performance audits, and fraud risk assessment.
Dealerships
Serving auto, RV, powersports, and equipment dealers.
Dealership accounting has its own vocabulary: floor plan interest, LIFO reserves, factory statements, contracts in transit, F&I income recognition, and department level gross. Most dealers need tax planning and clean monthly reporting, often an audit, and a review or compilation their floor plan lender requires. We can handle all three.
Common services include: tax preparation, reviews and compilations, LIFO analysis, cost segregation, financial statement audits, entity structuring, and owner tax planning.
