Nonprofits

Our significant nonprofit client base is much more to us than simply a list of clients; they are an extension of Smith & Howard’s interest in, and commitment to, our community. Our clients include:

  • Arts and culture organizations
  • Schools
  • Foundations
  • Religious organizations
  • Service organizations
  • Governmental agencies

We have a special — and specially trained — team that works with these unique clients on audits, tax compliance, A-133 and advisory services. In addition, we participate in the BDO Seidman Institute for Nonprofit Excellence. This group was founded to provide innovative and practical business solutions to the nonprofit community and to serve as a think-tank to nonprofits around the country.

In today’s environment, nonprofits are facing issues that include a call for greater transparency, heightened corporate governance and adherence to increasingly complex accounting standards. Though many of these issues were originally generated to oversee for-profit businesses, they have led to intensified scrutiny of nonprofit organizations. Our clients can count on being kept up-to-date on these critical, evolving issues, while enjoying the benefits of a professional, timely and efficient audit and tax compliance process and advisory services that allow them to focus on achieving their mission.

Call our Nonprofit Hotline at 1-877-354-3820 to speak directly with a Smith & Howard Nonprofit professional. This complimentary service is provided to any nonprofit and to those who work with them. Also, please visit our Resources section for articles and updates on issues affecting nonprofit organizations.
