Non-Profit

Mission-Critical Support

Non-profits are born of unfulfilled needs, and their causes run the gamut. But serving an underserved population has its challenges. People rely on your organization, and your organization relies heavily on donors, grants, and strong leaders to keep providing services to those who need them the most. Accounting, auditing, budgeting, and financial reporting are vital to pursuing your mission. You need a CPA and advisory firm who supports your team. With more than 50 years of combined experience serving non-profits, our advisors provide industry-specific services to more than 200 non-profit organizations. Let us focus on the numbers, so you can focus on your mission.

KPM 🖤s Non-Profits

We don’t just provide accounting and consulting services to non-profits. Our team members support them by volunteering, serving on boards, and making personal donations. We also highlight a local non-profit each month through our #ClientsWithACause program.

Our Areas of Expertise

Accounting Outsourcing

Non-profit organizations often struggle with tight budgets and limited resources, but accounting is a necessity. If you need controllership services, help processing payroll, or assistance with accounts payable or receivable functions, call on KPM.

Board Training

The board determines the future of your organization, and members need to be able to make informed decisions. Our team can help them interpret financial statements, grasp government regulations, and embrace their fiscal responsibilities.

Employee Benefit Plan Audits & Consulting

Is your employee benefit plan competitive and cost-effective? Not only do we audit benefit plans, we consult on plan design and investment strategies. Our non-profit clients also look to us for guidance on government compliance.

Financial Statement Audits, Compilations, & Reviews

Saying your non-profit is financially healthy isn’t enough. You need proof when presenting to the board or soliciting donors. Audited financial statements provide that added level of assurance. Make KPM your trusted auditor.

Fraud Detection & Investigation

Like businesses, non-profits are susceptible to fraud. Their often noble intentions don’t make them any less of a target for criminals looking to exploit weaknesses. Our team can help you unmask fraudsters and pursue justice.

Information Technology Consulting

Is your organization hindered by inadequate IT resources? Too often, non-profits are using outdated systems to manage their staff, donors, and clients. KPM’s IT consultants can help assess your needs and recommend upgrades.

Internal Control Reviews

Don’t find out the hard way your internal controls aren’t cutting it. Bring in the KPM team for a top-to-bottom review. Through interviews and testing, our auditors will identify improvement areas and suggest remedies.

IRS Form 990 Tax Services

As a tax-exempt organization, you’re no stranger to the annual Form 990 process. Compiling accurate information and telling your financial story is critical for this public-facing form. We’ll help you get it filed correctly and on time.

Payroll Tax Services

When resources are thin, consider outsourcing your payroll tax responsibilities to KPM. We provide this service for a range of businesses and non-profits that don’t want the hassle of keeping tabs on changing tax rates and deductions.

Uniform Guidance Single Audits

There’s a lot of red tape involved when non-profits receive and disburse large federal grants. Some grants will trigger single audits that are second nature to our team. We’ll guide you through every step of the process.
