Auditing

We can provide a complete audit of the tax collection by an independent firm of Certified Public Accountants. Additionally, we will make all books, papers, and records available to auditors appointed by the client for the purpose of auditing collection accounts administered by Berkheimer. The sophistication of our systems allows for rapid deployment of funds to the clients account, while allowing for to-the-penny audit trails.

Bonding

We can provide complete bonding on all monies remaining undistributed at any one time.

Public Relations

We can prepare and release appropriate information to the local media to educate the general public to their local tax responsibilities. Collection notices, ads, and press releases are an important part of the overall collection effort to ensure public confidence and awareness.

Claims

We assume responsibility for and claim money due our clients from other collectors. In conjunction with this phase of collection, Berkheimer is capable of reciprocation to other collectors on a monthly or quarterly basis. This feature can ensure timely exchange of tax money.

Integral Delinquent Collection

We assume responsibility for any and all delinquent tax accounts. Our Delinquent Department will continue to pursue delinquent accounts for as many outstanding years as the law allows.

We offer a generous benefits package, and competitive pay in a great working atmosphere.
