In today's rapidly changing business environment, the ability to successfully navigate the operational and regulatory environment associated with a tax-exempt status requires a specialized advisory relationship.

Decosimo possesses the knowledge and resources specific to the nonprofit industry. We provide our nonprofit clients with access to certified public accountants who have undergone specialized training and have dedicated their careers to serving tax-exempt organizations. 

Decosimo dedicates a nonprofit team that is passionately committed to nonprofit service year round. Our nonprofit team comprises professionals who serve in nonprofit board positions and have experience working as elected government officials and as key members within state society and AICPA nonprofit committees. Serving in such capacities equips our team with valuable insight into what financial information is needed to aid nonprofit management, finance and audit committees and executive board members in making important business decisions. The Decosimo nonprofit team has built its service model around providing value-added tools to allow executive management to plan for the future. 

To that end, your Decosimo team will work to provide information such as trend and benchmarking analysis, insights into current and future grant and funding expectations, and best practices for effective and efficient operations of the business side of the organization, priority- and zero-based budgeting and more.
