Accountants – A Necessary Component During Divorce
The accountants at Prasad & Company LLP know that accounting has to do with a lot more than crunching numbers. One of the most common dilemmas privately-held business owners face is the need for mediation during a divorce. Going through a divorce is often one of the most challenging experiences a person can go through; it can have negative impact on all parties involved. You might be thinking, how can an accountant help me during this process? During this stressful time, it is difficult to stop and think clearly about your finances and to plan for your future financial situation. Most couples involved in corporate-ownership find that they need a dependable professional who understands their financial situation and that can help them plan to live a financially sustainable life post-separation.
