Your organization makes a difference to the community. We want to help nonprofits succeed and thrive. We serve clients that serve the community.
We have served hundreds of nonprofit organizations since 2000. We perform approximately 40 – 50 audits annually, 95% which are nonprofits or organizations owned by nonprofits. We are an “audit firm", meaning our focus on a daily basis is audit standards, audit procedures and efficient audits.

Our clients range from $250,000 to $52 M in revenue. We have a high retention rate, including some clients from the first year we formed. We also provide one time audits for organizations applying for one-time funding. We look to the mission of the organization when selecting our clients.
