“Overall, it is the partnership with AAFCPAs that gives us clarity and direction. It allows our internal team, our board, our auditors, and our supporters to understand exactly what’s going on and where we need to be heading.”

David Shapiro, Former Chief Executive Officer The National Mentoring Partnership (MENTOR)

“Everyone all the way up to the board level relies on AAFCPAs’ advice. It’s been strengthening to have that backing. With AAFCPAs’ endorsement behind an idea, it gets legs and it gets attention and it helps us tell that story to board members who may not understand because they do not come from nonprofit.”

Wendy Parker, Chief Financial Officer Eliot Community Human Services

“It is very comforting to have this relationship with AAFCPAs. Not only are they extremely intelligent, efficient, and highly enthusiastic but they are able to approach every query and instance we have from so many different angles. I can think back to when the housing crisis hit in the early 2000s, which was tough on our business. Growth had flattened and our expenses could not be curtailed. Right away though, AAFCPAs became instrumental in helping us identify problem areas, attending board meetings with family members and helping us realign. They knew how to let a mom-and-pop shop know that we needed to do more, and they stuck with us to help us manage our way through. What they offer delves far beyond what you would think an accounting firm would provide.

Tim Skehan, Chief Executive Officer Russell’s Garden Center

“We’ve had a great partnership with AAFCPAs for the past 20 years, and we feel very fortunate!

Having someone with their level of expertise and deep knowledge is invaluable. Someone who understands legally and responsibly what we need to do. Someone who can strategize. Someone who can talk to the board or help us through a plateau. To have someone like that on my side is huge.”
