Startup Services: Building a Strong Non-Profit Foundation

Small non-profits face unique challenges, like securing tax-exempt status, managing donor funds, and complying with grant requirements. Our startup services are designed for your mission-driven work:

• Incorporation: We guide you through forming your business structure, ensuring compliance with regulations and protecting your board from liabilities.

Bookkeeping: Keep Your Non-Profit’s Finances Transparent

Non-profits must maintain clear financial records to satisfy donors, grantors, and regulators. Our bookkeeping services, including the basic bookkeeping in our starter plans, keep you organized:

• Track Funding Sources: Monitor donations, grants, and fundraising event income, ensuring accurate allocation to programs like food security or community outreach.
• Manage Expenses: Categorize costs for programs, administrative overhead, or fundraising events, crucial for transparency.

Tax Planning and Preparation: Maximize Non-Profit Compliance

Small non-profits must navigate complex tax requirements to maintain tax-exempt status and optimize funding. Our tax services help you stay compliant and save:

• Maintain Tax-Exempt Status: Ensure proper IRS filings (e.g., Form 990) to preserve your 501(c)(3) status, like a non-profit we helped avoid penalties by streamlining their reporting.
• Stay Compliant: Our integration with basic bookkeeping provides accurate records for IRS audits and grant compliance, tailored to non-profit accounting standards.
