Governments & Municipalities

Melanson has been providing financial and accounting support to governments & municipalities for over 40 years. We provide services for more New England governments than any other CPA firm in our region. In order to consistently meet and exceed our clients’ expectations, the Melanson governmental department proudly offers the following services: financial statement audits (including Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports, compliance auditing, management advisory, and outsourced accounting services, as well as a training course on the Uniform Massachusetts Accounting System (UMAS).

Every three years Melanson undergoes an in-depth peer review process, which includes an evaluation of our audit quality control system and review of sample governmental audit work papers and financial statements. The results of our peer reviews have always resulted in a “clean opinion” with no exceptions. This is the best result possible from a peer review.
