Dedicated Services to Assist Non-Profits
With more than 15 years of experience in the non-profit world, Ann has a firm grasp of the challenges facing non-profit organizations and the complexities of managing them. Our firm has a strong belief in the importance of non-profits and we are dedicated to doing everything we can to help them succeed.
Unfortunately, non-profit directors are often pulled in multiple directions as they juggle funding, tax issues, employee management, and meeting their organization's goals. With so many responsibilities, it is easy for non-profits to fall behind and run afoul of state, federal and local compliance laws. We help our clients ensure their organization has a strong legal foundation.
