When you need organized financial statements without assurance or extensive testing, a compilation is the right tool. At Orsak Langner & Barthel PLLC, we provide professionally prepared financial statements for private businesses, nonprofits, and individuals across Houston and the state of Texas.
A compilation of financial statements is the most basic level of financial reporting. It involves assembling financial data into standard formats without performing audits or reviews. While it does not offer assurance, a compilation still provides clear, credible, and GAAP-compliant financial documents for internal use, management review, tax filing, or investor presentation.
Who Needs a Compilation?
- Small to mid-size businesses needing financials for internal planning or tax support
- Service-based businesses without complex accounting systems
- Individuals and sole proprietors managing investments, trusts, or estate-related assets -- Startups not yet subject to assurance requirements but needing formal documentation
At Orsak CPAs, we ensure your statements are accurate, well-organized, and easy to understand. Our team will guide you through the data collection process, format the statements in accordance with accounting standards, and ensure they’re ready for presentation.
Whether you’re preparing for a loan application, organizing your financials for tax season, or just want cleaner books, our compilation services offer a reliable, professional solution without the cost of a review or audit.
What Is a Compilation of Financial Statements?
A compilation is a formal presentation of financial data prepared by a CPA without conducting any audit procedures or assurance testing. It’s ideal for clients who need organized, GAAP-compliant financial statements, but don’t require an opinion or analytical review.
At Orsak Langner & Barthel PLLC we compile your financial information into professional statements — including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements — that you can use for management, tax, or external reporting purposes.
We do not verify the accuracy of the information provided, but we ensure proper formatting, structure, and consistency with accounting principles.

Compilation services are best suited for:
- Small businesses not required to obtain assurance services
- Real estate and service firms managing simple revenue/expense flows
