Why Are Accounting Services Important for Your Nonprofit?

Outsourced accounting services are essential to help you maximize your financial resources and hone focus on your nonprofit’s core mission. Our bookkeeping services help you:

  • Ensure compliance: IRS and state tax authorities scrutinize nonprofits to ensure full compliance and eligibility. Our certified public accountants are well-versed in the latest tax codes and will help you avoid violating regulations.
  • Save time: Outsourcing a nonprofit accountant for your organization saves time — time you can leverage to make a difference in the community.
  • Maximize resources:  Our experienced bookkeeping professionals monitor vendor receipts, cash flow and invoices, notifying you if funds are available to launch a new project or fortify an existing one.
  • Steward money effectively: Our third-party accounting services will help you steward money efficiently and keep clear transaction records. Donors appreciate knowing how your organization uses and allocates their funds, encouraging them to keep giving.

AUDIT AND ASSURANCE FOR ATLANTA NON-PROFITS

Nonprofit organizations face incredible financial scrutiny. Depending on the makeup of your organization, financial reports may be reviewed by board members, donors, the IRS, and countless others. Our nonprofit auditing firm ensures reports are accurate, manage risk and offer valuable strategic insight based on financial data.

Non-Profit Auditing Services

An audit is a careful, methodical review of all financial reports and data. Auditing services help nonprofit organizations remain compliant with tax laws, organizational requirements and funding sources. Marshall Jones audit services include:

  • Single audits: Single audits are compliance audits involving an in-depth review of financial data. When your organization receives significant awards or federal grants, you may need to undergo a single audit to review that your nonprofit is using funds in line with regulations and grant agreements.
  • Program audits: A program audit reviews a dedicated portion of financial data. The audit assesses the effectiveness and efficiency of a specific program and evaluates whether the project is achieving its intended goals and maximizing resources.
  • Reviews: Reviews or limited-scope audits are assurance services that, while shy of a complete audit, review financial documents and reports to verify accuracy. Review engagements will assess whether your financial statements align with generally accepted accounting principles and frameworks related to your nonprofit.
  • Agreed-upon procedures: Smaller non-profit organizations can benefit from agreed-upon procedures (AUP) and compliance reviews of organizational accounts and data. AUP provides factual information rather than opinion, assurance and guidance, helping you meet specific objectives and address areas of concern. You may want a review of a particular expense category to verify compliance with funding requirements or evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls.

Audit and assurance services give organizational leaders the financial tools they need. We have over three decades of experience performing audit and assurance services, so you can trust our knowledge and expertise to deliver trusted, top-notch results.
