We provide specialized audit, tax, and consulting services designed to help your organization maintain financial transparency, optimize operations, and continue delivering value to your members.

Experience

Leverage our experience to help maximize your growth.

  • Our service to professional associations/member based organizations dates back over fifteen years with an audit and tax engagement of a Pennsylvania based credit union (that we still serve) that has now grown to $500 million in assets. As this client has grown, we have grown right alongside them.  
  • Several of our professional associations/member based organizations have complex structures of affiliated organizations, such as for-profit entities, other associations, foundations, and political action committees. We have years of experience performing audits and tax filings for clients with these types of operating structures. The same audit/tax team members that perform the engagement for the main association entity will also perform these same services for all of your affiliated organizations. This will enable us to serve you in a timely and efficient manner.
  • We serve a wide range of associations from organizations with revenues over $25 million to entities with a small budget that may not require a full audit but a compilation or review instead. Regardless of the size and capacity of your organization, our services are designed to be scaled to match your exact needs.
  • Our associations/member based clients are invited to participate in our firm's Continuing Professional Education (CPE) sessions where topics impacting their operations, such as the latest non-profit tax updates, are frequently discussed. These sessions are held for our clients at no cost.

Services we provide for professional associations/member based organizations.

  • Financial Statement Audits
  • Reviews and Compilations
  • Audit Assistance and Financial Statement Preparation
  • Accounting Consulting 
  • IRS Form 990, 990-T, and other IRS Tax Filings including IRS Form 1120
