With Francis & Company's focus on serving the auditing, consulting and accounting needs of nonprofit organizations, we are uniquely qualified to address the needs of nonprofit entities throughout the Puget Sound region. As independent auditors, we know that the annual financial audit can place a large burden on a not-for-profit organization, not only from a monetary standpoint, but also in terms of increased workloads for the accounting staff.
Our audit preparation services help minimize disruption to your organization by reducing the demand on your staff. For example, instead of pulling your accountants away from their jobs to prepare audit schedules, Francis & Company would complete these tasks. This will also help reduce the "down time" of the outside auditor, resulting in increased efficiency and a possible reduction in costs.
Francis & Company can assist you in establishing a management system that addresses your agency's unique needs and requirements. As a full-service certified public accounting firm, Francis & Company specializes in auditing, accounting and consulting for not-for-profit organizations. We have a keen understanding of your operating environment and the special challenges you face.
Francis & Company is committed to offering high-quality, personalized service to help you meet these challenges while fulfilling the primary mission of your organization.
