All nonprofit corporations need a good bookkeeping system. We recommend Quickbooks. We also recommend that you hire an experienced accountant to configure and set up the corporation’s bookkeeping system.
Nonprofit corporations that are tax-exempt charitable organizations also need an experienced CPA to prepare the organization’s federal tax returns.
For both of the above very important services we recommend Carolyn S. Sechler, of CPA, Sechler CPA, P.C., 921 E. Orange, Phoenix, Arizona 85014; phone 602-230-2700. See her fabulous website.
