Non-Profit Organizations & Health Sharing Ministries

Non-Profit organizations are critical to the long-term success of communities around the world. Without them, many needs would not be met. Yet these organizations are required to meet increasingly complex management challenges, often with tightening resources. We appreciate the unique structure and operations of tax-exempt entities. From auditing and compliance to Form 990 preparation, we focus on implementing nonprofit accounting solutions in order to meet regulatory needs and ensure sound fiscal reporting. This focus, along with our broad non-profit client base, provides us with a large pool of expertise to draw from to better serve each client. Most importantly, we share our clients’ commitment to improving the quality of life in their community and the world at large.

We can help you setup and maintain your non-profit organization's tax-exempt status by handling all the IRS reporting for you.

Each year the IRS requires most tax-exempt organizations to submit the Form 990 and its related schedules, which includes the following items.

  1. Statement of Revenue with very specific revenue categories like contributions, program service revenue, and investment income.

  2. Statement of Functional Expenses with very specific expense categories like compensation expenses, office expenses, and occupancy. All the expenses are allocated to either program services, management and general, or fundraising.

  3. Balance Sheet with specific categories like cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable...

  4. Individual Program Accomplishments Statement that reports all of the expenses for each program or service provided by the non-profit organization.

The IRS uses these very specific revenue and expense classifications to determine if your organization will retain its tax-exempt status. So it's imperative that you build your accounting system around these revenue and expense classifications.
