Nonprofits
Work with professionals that understand the nonprofit industry

We help our nonprofit clients establish accounting departments, strengthen internal controls, design and implement general ledger accounting systems, secure lines of credit, and prepare budgets and projections. We assist with the recruitment and selection of financial and accounting personnel for our clients, performing the CFO function as needed.
