Not-for-Profit
We partner with organizations that support those in need and provide the accounting and advisory help they rely on.
Not-for-profits strive to direct as many resources as possible toward achieving their mission. At the same time, they are raising the funds needed and improving efficiencies to make the most of those funds. These organizations face the challenging needs of their supporters and beneficiaries, a complex regulatory environment, and ever-changing operational requirements.

“The knowledge and effort put in by Richard and the staff was incredible.
They assisted in filing the taxes for us as a 501c3 and were very quick to respond and/or call me back. They answered all my questions about the process and taught me about what had to be done while filing our taxes.
Thank you, Richard and crew.”
