Empowering Nonprofits with Audits, Tax, Outsourced Accounting, Fractional CFO, and Strategic Consulting

“We are really honored to do the work we do. The group of young people we work with have a lot going on. I’m a youth worker at heart. So having our house in order economically, funding wise, and financial-system wise is crucial.

Having a firm like AAFCPAs, with expertise for nonprofits, is critical. I think that as you grow and as you have more complicated funding sources and the need to navigate major economic shifts, having a firm that helps you advance through that and who you can comfortably ask questions to is really key. Because I don’t have a crystal ball.”

Molly Baldwin, Founder and Chief Executive Officer Roca, Inc.

“It’s extremely helpful that AAFCPAs has specific expertise in the nonprofit sector. When we went out to bid, one of my interest points was that I wanted to find a firm with nonprofit background. I also wanted to make sure they had not only large but also smaller nonprofits in their portfolio. There’s a significant difference between the operations of large versus small nonprofits, particularly in terms of budget. Managing multiple aspects of the organization, especially maintaining proper separation of duties, becomes more challenging given differences in size. I feel very good just knowing that AAFCPAs has similar-sized clients. When choosing AAFCPAs, we absolutely found the right fit in an audit firm.”

The right fit in an audit firm.

“Part of the value AAFCPAs provides nonprofit organizations is that they have a lot of clients in our industry and multiple partners in the space. If one partner doesn’t have the answer right away, they will reach out to another partner who does. There is no ego involved. I have only great things to say about the entire cohesive team.”

Shelly Jackson, Director of Finance American Academy of Arts and Sciences

“When we initially went to bid many years ago, AAFCPAs presented the best proposal and one that was significantly better than the others. One of the things that became immediately clear was how many other nonprofit clients AAFCPAs had and that they were working with big name companies in our sector. A large part of their appeal was their understanding of nonprofits, whereas other audit firms didn’t understand our business. We knew from the start that their team fully understood how to work with various state departments and navigate the differences between them. It wasn’t just a general understanding of nonprofits but a deep knowledge of our specific business space as well as experience working alongside our colleagues. That gave us a lot of confidence going in. Their pricing is competitive with their peers, as well.

We truly value having AAFCPAs as our business partners. Thank you for being there for us and for providing such expansive service offerings. Your unwavering support as a trusted resource means a lot, and we deeply appreciate everything you do.”

Together through every challenge.

Alan Lisak, BSBA, Chief Financial Officer Middlesex Human Service Agency, Inc.

“What truly sets AAFCPAs apart is their thoroughness and deep understanding of the current environment, regulations, and rules in finance, which are constantly evolving. They remain ahead of the curve. The auditors approach their work systematically and directly, which we greatly appreciate. They understand the implications their work has for our association. Their knowledge base, combined with an understanding of our business, is complemented by professionalism, accuracy, and thoroughness. We also value that the IT audits are primarily conducted virtually, with the collaboration between our team and theirs exceptional!”
