FAQ

Nonprofit Accountants in Chicago

Does my nonprofit need an audit?

Most states require an audit above a revenue threshold (often $500K–$2M). Federal grant recipients above $750K trigger a Single Audit under Uniform Guidance.

What's fund accounting?

A method nonprofits use to track restricted, temporarily restricted, and unrestricted funds separately so donor intent and grant terms are honored.
