Nonprofit Organizations

Greater Scrutiny. Increased Transparency. More Compliance Requirements.

Nonprofit organizations are scrutinized more than ever today. Donors seek richer information with the expectation of transparency, while boards strive for operational efficiency gains to help ensure sustainability. Watchdog organizations collect and share vast information to enforce accountability, and regulatory and tax authorities monitor activities and reporting to ensure adherence to ever-increasing compliance demands. This intense interest in nonprofit accounting and financial transparency will likely only grow. Success depends on adequate funding, generous donations, and committed volunteers—supported by smart nonprofit accounting services that strengthen financial performance and accountability.

BRC’s Nonprofit Accounting Services Team

The Nonprofit Accounting Practice Team at BRC is dedicated to serving tax-exempt organizations by providing a customized mix of assurance, tax, and advisory services to help keep you in compliance and focused on your mission at hand. Tax-exempt status, unfortunately, does not mean exemption from complex tax rules, regulations, and processes. Exempt organizations have unique tax and reporting needs that demand specialized nonprofit accounting expertise, attention to detail, and sound financial guidance. Over the years, our team has delivered thousands of hours of service to nonprofit organizations. Our professionals are not only committed to the clients we serve but also to the community—actively participating in numerous nonprofit and civic organizations as board members and volunteers.

Ben Ripple Partner, CPA

"Nonprofit organizations face challenges every day. They have to manage their administrative costs to ensure the maximum amount of funding received goes to the mission. They have to come up with ways to maintain or, if they are lucky, increase funding. They present a difficult challenge to most financial institutions to have the availability to borrow money. On top of all of this, they have to deal with changing accounting standards that are presenting sweeping changes to the reporting requirements. The industry team at BRC understand those challenges.  In addition to serving numerous nonprofit clients, many of us serve on not-for-profit boards in the community.  We see and live these struggles, too.  So when you are having issues with meeting budget or making the difficult decisions about where to cut budget, we can provide insight from what we are seeing from others in similar situations to help you make the right decisions without compromising your ability to provide the services that your community so desperately needs."
