Stanislawski & Harrison: Providing the Service You Expect to Receive

Our experience demonstrates that most successful organizations have established goals and long-range plans. As a firm of knowledgeable CPAs and business advisors, we can help you meet your goals and reach your objectives. We are experienced, have good references and, most of all, know what it takes to provide the service you expect to receive.

Our approach to client service combines the high quality and specialization typically expected from "Big Five" firms, with the personal attention, staff continuity and reasonable fees expected from local CPA firms. We have found this to be a successful formula in serving nonprofit organizations.

Knowledge and Experience

Our accounting and auditing engagements go far beyond the issuance of financial statements, auditors' report and the management letter. Our in-depth knowledge of nonprofit organizations provides us with extraordinary perspective regarding their operation, management and control. This knowledge has come from our extensive experiences from years of working with finance committees, business managers, executive directors and development directors, assisting them in problem solving and in carrying out the duties of their positions. We always seek to fulfill our maximum role as valued members of the management team.

Partner Involvement

Our engagements feature partner-level attention in the planning and fieldwork stages, not just at the commencement and completion of a job. This results in more efficient service, improved communication and problem solving, and a high degree of continuity and familiarity that most firms do not provide.

Serving Each Organization’s Special Needs

Each nonprofit organization has its own unique approach toward balancing the interactive elements of management and operating style. On every nonprofit engagement, we seek to address the interests of all the components of an organization’s management: finance committees, trustees, executive directors, business managers and development directors.

Finance Committee, Trustees and Executive Directors

We always try to view our engagements from the perspective of each organization’s top management: its finance committee, trustees and executive directors. In that regard, we focus on the issues important to them:

• Quality accounting and auditing

• Meaningful and relevant management letter

• Strict confidentiality

• Internal controls and safeguarding of assets

• Management information systems and budgeting

• Evaluation of operating staff

• Other items necessary to meeting fiduciary responsibilities

Business Managers

A financial audit or review can be an unsettling experience for a business manager, even under the best of circumstances. We strive to make each engagement a positive experience for the business manager and his or her staff. Aside from the primary goal of issuing year-end financial statements and management letter on a timely and cost-efficient basis, we seek to increase the overall effectiveness of the business office by providing practical and relevant advice on a broad range of business topics. We not only help the business managers understand their mission and how other business managers are dealing with day-to-day problems, but we help them reconcile their performance with the expectations of their finance committees. Overall, we help each organization’s business office staff develop their expertise in a variety of ways:

• Accounting, internal and external financial reporting and budgeting

• Segregation of duties to obtain maximum, cost-effective internal controls

• Answers to questions regarding taxation and compliance: payroll taxes, sales taxes, government reporting and informational returns

• Employee benefit plans: retirement plans, fringe benefit plans and deferred compensation agreements

• Computer software and accounting systems

Development Directors

While we are not fund-raising consultants, we are uniquely qualified to provide valuable information and services to development activities as a side benefit to our clients. Some areas in which we have assisted development personnel include:

• Compliance with the myriad of government rules and regulations, and in information reporting requirements, surrounding charitable contributions

• Coordination of internal controls and tax requirements with auxiliary associations

• Obtaining foundation grants
