We offer a collection of resources specifically for non-profit organizations,
brought to you by the firm of Heveron & Company CPAs, PLLC.
You can browse our quarterly newsletters, policy samples, and a large
assortment of links to the best Internet resources we have found for
non-profit organizations.
We are uniquely committed to the nonprofit industry!
We understand the impact that increased regulations and oversight, shifts in funding sources, increased audit requirements, and volatile investment markets have on you. We do proportionally more auditing than any other firm in INPACT Americas (a nationwide association of CPA firms we belong to); most of that work is for nonprofits. We produce a regular newsletter for nonprofits.
