How We Can Help Heightened scrutiny with FAS 109 compliance creates tremendous pressures for finance and tax

departments. SmarTax can help you meet your goals and look good in the eyes of your auditors.

What We Do Computations - we developed a FAS 109 computational template that takes your raw data, converts it to a tax provision calculation on a jurisdictional basis, and delivers a comprehensive footnote with an audit trail. Our template is nimble, flexible, and can be tweaked to meet the specific needs of your organization. We have yet to see a straightforward tax provision. So, our template can be tailored to meet your needs, and provides the tools needed to compute your provision accurately and timely. We are also experienced with a vast array of tax provision software products, and can help you compute your provision in coordination with your third-party software vendor.

Consulting - let us scrutinize your tax provision before your auditor gets the chance. Pick our brains. Use our extensive 'Big 4' audit experience to your advantage. Before forming SmarTax, our founder spent eight years in the corporate tax department of a 'Big 4' firm, most recently as a senior tax manager. Let our expertise guide you through the provision process. Be SOX 404 compliant, and get it right the first time.

Matters of Concern FIN 48 - the FASB delivered a comprehensive interpretation of FAS 109 in July 2006, putting all companies on the same page with respect to income tax uncertainties. Every company is affected by this interpretation, the compliance of which is time consuming and complex. SmarTax is on the forefront of the implications of FIN 48, and can guide you through this process painlessly and efficiently.

Valuation Allowance - unsure of how to compute your valuation allowance, or how to support the lack thereof? SmarTax developed a template to help you compute and support your valuation allowance and impress your auditors.

SOX 404 - many companies have been blemished with material weaknesses and deficiencies with their tax process. We can point out your deficiencies before your auditors get the chance. SmarTax can help you remediate any potential issues, so you

can get back to doing real tax work.

Conflicts of Interest - the times they are a-changin'. No longer can you rely on your audit firm to provide you with advice. Need a brain to pick? Want to bounce a question off a tax consultant? Considering a transaction and

need to work through the tax implications? SmarTax can serve your needs when your auditor is precluded from doing so.
