Running and maintaining a nonprofit organization takes SO much more time than a for-profit entity. The accounting is more complicated, there is more external scrutiny, and there tends to be fewer available resources. IRS Form 990 is not only a tax return but a self-compliance checklist. Our Captain has spent a large portion their career working on some of the most complicated nonprofits in the sector and holds an AICPA level II certificate in nonprofit accounting. We are available for Board presentations and training.

 We are aware of the extreme shortage of accountants in this specialty (A Storm is Brewing: The Accountant Shortage Is Already Affecting Nonprofits | LinkedIn) and have made it a priority to ensure that nonprofits get a big enough boat too. The challenge is that most accountants in this space audit NFPs and therefore cannot do or consult on their books. We intentionally do not offer audit services so that we can be of service to organizations through their various stages and needs.
