Nonprofit Organizations and Governmental Agencies
Working with tax-exempt organizations requires specialized training and experience. It also requires a unique ability to understand the mission, the management, and the reporting requirements that make nonprofits different from corporate clients. To provide excellent client service, a firm must have a heart for the niche.
