Our service approach and company culture evolved from my personal passion for nonprofits. I have always recognized and valued the positive impacts of nonprofit organizations. Whether nonprofits are providing education, advocacy or social services, they all play a vital role in our society. I am also sensitive to the challenges nonprofits face relating to accounting and finance. Knowing we are contributing to the success of the nonprofit sector by providing high-quality accounting and financial services is extremely rewarding.
