Non-Profit & Government Accounting
We understand the unique accounting needs of non-profit organizations and public agencies, and the pressure to do more with less.
Built for mission-driven organizations
Non-profit organizations are continuously challenged to reduce cost, maximize support revenue, meet compliance standards and hit financial reporting deadlines. More and more organizations are realizing the savings of outsourcing the accounting function to a firm that brings the expertise, skills and capabilities they need, at a fraction of the cost of internal staff.

- Bookkeeping and monthly close
- Financial statements for boards and funders

Government and public agencies
We provide accounting, payroll and reporting services to government and public agencies as well, with experience in governmental accounting rules and the State of Delaware’s systems.
I have had the opportunity to work with Michelle J. Lambert and her team since 2009. Michelle is the consummate professional accountant… She has been instrumental in working with the leadership of the HOPE Commission in the development of custom financial management tools and policies designed to protect the organization’s assets. She is attentive, patient and acutely knowledgeable of the unique financial management needs of small and large non-profit organizations. She is definitely a keeper!
Frequently asked questions
Can a small non-profit afford a CPA firm?
Our services are customized and can be provided à la carte, generally at a cost less than an on-staff accountant, so smaller organizations get CPA-level expertise without a full-time salary.
Do you help with internal controls and policies?
Yes. We have helped non-profit leadership develop custom financial management tools and policies designed to protect the organization’s assets.
