Nonprofit Financial Audit Services & Advisory in Bay Area

We Understand the Auditing Needs of Nonprofits

Depending on the size and type of nonprofit organization you operate, you may need to have an independent audit completed by an outside auditing or accounting firm. Each state also has a set of rules and regulations regarding the auditing of nonprofits. If your organization receives federal funding, you may need to conduct an independent audit even if your state doesn’t require one.

Regardless of why, when or how your entity must have an audit, you can trust SD Mayer to handle the task quickly and accurately to ensure you meet all regulatory and compliance requirements.

Focus on problem-solving: Our methodology involves identifying the most prominent issues that impact our clients from an auditing and risk management perspective. We’ll then devise and implement a carefully crafted strategic plan that delivers reliable, accurate results.
Open communication: We believe that communication is the key to a healthy, enduring business partnership. We’ll keep you abreast of the developments in the auditing process from start to finish. We’ll also be accessible after the initial engagement to respond to your questions and address your concerns.
