Humanities, Social, and Civic Organizations

Humanities, social and civic organizations are vital in providing enrichment to communities and improving the overall quality of life in the regions they serve. Whether it's providing literacy and career planning programs at a library, operating a venue for live theater performances, expanding membership options at a local museum, or providing painting classes free of charge in an underserved community, the work you do is invaluable. At Maher Duessel, we understand the unique challenges humanities, social and civic organizations face, and we offer specialized audit, tax, and consulting services designed to help you maintain compliance, optimize operations, and maximize your impact.

Helping you stay focused on organizational purpose.

Our financial audits ensure your organization’s financial reporting is accurate and transparent, building trust with donors, stakeholders, and regulatory bodies. With extensive experience working alongside humanities, social and civic organizations, we are committed to helping you achieve financial transparency, maintain regulatory compliance, and use resources efficiently to support your mission.

Strengthening your work.

Our services are designed to support humanities, social, and civic organizations in managing their resources effectively, maintaining financial integrity, and ensuring compliance with funding requirements. By examining financial practices, program outcomes, and operational efficiency, we provide actionable recommendations that help organizations strengthen their mission-driven work. Whether optimizing resource use, identifying potential risks, or improving accountability, our audits empower your organization to enhance your impact and sustainability. With our expertise, humanities, social, and civic organizations can confidently continue their work of enriching communities and driving positive change.

While you enrich our communities, we keep you on the path of compliance.

Our non-profit clients that are dedicated to community enrichment through the arts, education, and tourism, among other programs, have a wide range of structures, goals, capacity levels, and budgets. Because no two clients are the same, we devote specialized attention to each client's specific circumstances, delivering the right amount of resources to perform our services as efficiently as possible.
We serve multiple organizations devoted to promoting the City of Pittsburgh as an ideal place to reside through tourism initiatives, development of future leaders in the region, and social and business networking opportunities. With our corporate headquarters based on the North Shore of the City, we have extensive knowledge of local issues and key stakeholders. However, our knowledge can be applied for any client in any geography, as these organizations have similar operations, challenges, and financial reporting requirements.
We provide concurrent audit and tax services for the majority of our non-profit clients. This means that the team members who perform the annual financial statement audit are the same professionals handling your tax filings. Our efficient approach frees up your time so you can concentrate on what you do best - making our communities better places to live, work and play.
