Thanks for giving me a chance to toot my own horn, FAQs! I actually kind of love 990s! Also, not much fun at parties. I started out as a tax accountant, and at one point I did every 990 that came through the door of a larger accounting firm in Maine. I do a lot fewer these days, but it’s not because I don’t

There is a great resource I recommend for all your questions: try some of the excellently well-written resources at MANP (https://library.nonprofitmaine.org/) -see the financial management offerings.

First of all, that’s not a question. But if you’re here, you’re in luck. I was an auditor for 10 years, as well as working for a medium sized nonprofit that had to do a single audit. I have seen it all, I would be happy to talk about preparing for that. Also, please stay tuned to my youtube page, where I will be adding a series of videos about this very thing.

Of course I do, my standardized packages are just that: standardized. If you have any reasons why you don’t think those packages don’t fit, please reach out to me, I would love to customize services for you. What’s more, standard on my contracts are a “3-month clause” - under this clause, we each reserve the right to revisit and renegotiate the pricing and scope of the contract at the 3 month mark. I’m going to be open and upfront with you if I feel you are paying too much for the value I provide, and I would appreciate it if you would be honest about the reverse situation. I am here to be of service to this sector, not to get rich taking advantage of organizations.
