Accounting Packages Created Exclusively For Community Foundations
Chazin provides virtual accounting services exclusively for nonprofit organizations and has unparalleled experience in accounting and financial management to effectively provide stewardship over your organization’s accounting and finance function. The company was formed by Adele Chazin in 2005 and has since grown to a staff of over fifty (50). All accountants are employees of Chazin. We do not outsource any accounting work outside the U.S. Additionally, all members of the Chazin accounting team are Certified Nonprofit Accounting Professionals (CNAP).
Chazin does not use a cookie-cutter approach. We tailor our services for each client. Some clients require full-time placement while others require specific levels of services weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly.
All work will be performed in an efficient and competent manner. Chazin will respond timely to requests from client staff, leadership, and will manage continuity of work to ensure reliable performance of contracted deliverables. In addition, frequent communication will occur continually throughout the year, including during month-end/year-end close and audit preparation. Chazin delivers superior customer service and requires our accountants to respond to client requests within 24 business hours. Your Chazin team will be available to you every working day of the year. This allows us to provide you with a “down the hall” feel that our clients value.
