Nonprofit Management & Operations

Beyond core accounting work, our firm offers extended value as an accounting service provider for nonprofit organizations. We truly understand the challenges that not-for-profit entities face and provide you with industry-specific business expertise required to overcome these obstacles and improve your financial condition.

We will act as your accounting department, so you and your staff are free from the hassles of many complex and time-intensive accounting tasks—allowing you to spend more time managing and growing your not-for-profit business. Consider all that we can do for you:

• Process vendor bills efficiently. Because all processing is accomplished online, we can return relevant information to you quickly.
• Process payroll. Once processed, we return paychecks, direct deposit remittances, and post employees’ stubs to their own secure portals.
• Ensure that you are in good shape for audit season. We make sure your books are in excellent shape and that expenses are properly recorded by program (i.e., statement of functional expenses) as you approach audit season. We can also assist you through the audit process, answering your questions along the way.
• Segregate your bookkeeping activity. To ensure the proper checks and balances, it’s a good idea to separate accounting activity from the business’ day-to-day operations. We become your remote accounting department—ensuring that the proper controls are in place and the integrity of your accounting process is maintained.

You are passionate in your non-profit organization’s cause—and you need an accounting firm that not only shares your passion for your core mission, but also understands the nuances and complexities of accounting for non-profit entities. We are that firm—and we look forward to serving your cause.

Payroll

Let us fulfill your payroll needs so you can get back to what you enjoy best—running your business. In today’s hectic business world, it’s a challenge to juggle all of the daily tasks that keep your business running efficiently. One of the most time-consuming tasks any business owner faces is payroll. Processing payroll involves much more than simply handing out regular paychecks. There are taxes, deductions, changes in payroll laws, year-end documentation, and more to worry about. Those headaches stop here.

By entrusting your payroll responsibilities to us, you turn this complicated administrative chore into a trouble-free function in your business that is both cost- and time-effective. If we’re handling your payroll, there’s no need for you to staff an employee dedicated to this task, and no need to maintain your own payroll system. As your experienced payroll partner, we will handle all of your needs, including check processing and printing, direct deposit, W-2 and 1099 processing, filing up-to-date quarterly and annual payroll taxes, and reporting. Better yet, all of our services are offered electronically, saving you time, money and reducing costly mistakes.

Your employees will enjoy secure online access to their paycheck stub information and W-2s—eliminating hours of distribution time.

Accounting

Our accounting services provide thorough, accurate and timely reporting that allows you to evaluate your financial health and realize your business goals. We reconcile all bank accounts and credit cards on a daily basis and provide our clients with daily cash reports that keep them informed and equipped to make timely financial business decisions. Our firm can help you by delivering financial statements and reports or handling all your accounting tasks so you can concentrate on running your business.

To support your accounting needs, our firm will prepare everything from financial statements to compilations and reviews. We also take the time to review all of your data with you throughout the year to offer insight and help you to understand the story behind the numbers.
