Simplify tax, audit, and succession decisions so you can stay focused on running the business.

How Langdon supports business owners

As a Raleigh-based CPA and advisory firm, we work with closely held and privately owned companies
throughout the full business life cycle, from start-up through exit.

  • Designing the right entity and ownership structure to balance taxes, liability, and future exit.
  • Running annual tax planning and multi-year projections so you are not surprised in April.
  • Providing audits, reviews, and other attest services that satisfy lenders, investors, and regulators while adding insight instead of just producing a report.
  • Evaluating capital needs, debt, and financing options with an eye toward cash flow and covenant compliance.
  • Building and testing internal controls, accounting systems, and reporting so you can trust your numbers.
  • Mapping and implementing succession strategies, including family transitions, executive buy-outs, and other exit options.

Problems we help you avoid

You do not have time for surprises or preventable risk. We help you avoid:

  • Last-minute tax reactions that overpay the IRS or underfund your own retirement.
  • Audit findings that could have been caught early with better controls or documentation.
  • Financing delays caused by incomplete or inconsistent financial statements.
  • Ownership disputes because equity, compensation, or buy-sell terms were never clearly modeled.
  • Succession plans that collapse under tax, family, or financing pressure.

What it’s like to work with us

You work directly with a partner-led team that understands both the numbers and the realities of running a business.
Our firm is intentionally built to provide “big firm” technical depth with a relationship-driven service model.

  • A recurring planning rhythm, usually anchored to your fiscal year and key transactions.
  • Coordinated tax, audit, and advisory input so decisions are not made in silos.
  • Clear deliverables, timelines, and a team that knows your company, not just your file.
  • Straightforward explanations of options, tradeoffs, and next steps.

Is Langdon & Company a fit for you?

You are likely a good fit if:

  • You own or lead a privately held company in the Southeast with meaningful growth, complexity, or regulatory requirements.
  • You want a single firm to coordinate audit, tax, and planning instead of juggling multiple advisors.
  • You are within ten years of an exit, ownership transition, or major recapitalization.
  • You value direct access to senior professionals who will tell you what they think, not just recite the rules.
