In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bill Parker Agency as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### **Basis for Opinion** These financial statements are the responsibility of Bill Parker Agency's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Bill Parker Agency's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to Bill Parker Agency in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. #### **Auditor's Report on Supplemental Information** The supplemental information contained in Schedule I -Computation ofNet Capital and Schedule II - Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements and Information Relating to the Possession or Control Requirements has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Bill Parker Agency's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of Bill Parker Agency's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with 17 C.F.R. §240. l 7a-5. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. ~~4~ ER ACCOUNTANCY CORPORATION CROPP We have served as Bill Parker Agency's auditor since 2014.

Commissions are paid by the issuing companies to Bill Parker Agency. The Company's operations are conducted from offices in a proprietor family residence. The financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company differ from those that would have been achieved had the Company operated in a separate facility. #### 2. **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** Basis of Presentation - the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Revenue Recognition - The Company's revenues consist of commissions generated for the sale of annuities and mutual funds and trail fees. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection of the fee is probable. Generally, these conditions are met, and thus, revenue is recognized upon issue of a commission statement from investment or insurance companies. Use of Estimates - Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents -The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash in one bank with FDIC insurance of up to \$250,000. At December 31, 2023, the cash balance in the bank account totaled \$25,726, which was less than the FDIC insurance limit of \$250,000. The Company carries no customer cash or securities and maintains SIPC exemption. {10}------------------------------------------------ #### BILL PARKER AGENCY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 #### 2. **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)** Income Truces - As the Company is a proprietorship (pass-through entity), no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. The tax liability, if any, is that of the sole proprietor. Lease Accounting - In 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board implemented accounting standard ASC 842, *Lease Accounting.* This standard did not affect the Company in the current year because the Company has not entered into any leases. #### 3. **NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENT** Pursuant to the net capital provision of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is required to maintain net capital of not less than \$5,000. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's net capital was \$31,581. #### 4. **SUBSEQUENT EVENTS** Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. No additional adjustments to, or disclosures in, the financial statements were deemed necessary. #### 5. **COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES** As of December 31, 2023, and through the date the financial statements were issued, the Company was unaware of any material commitments or contingencies that would affect the Company's financial statements. {11}------------------------------------------------ #### **BILL PARKER AGENCY SCHEDULE!

I 5c3-3: (I) (exemption provision) and (2) Bill Parker Agency stated that Bill Parker Agency met the identified exemption provision throughout the most recent year ended December 31 , 2023, without exception. Bill Parker Agency's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provision and its statements. Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about Bill Parker Agency's compliance with the exemption provision. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the provision set forth in paragraph (k)( I) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
