Top 3 Reasons Nonprofits Look to SMB CPAs for Support

There is no denying the impact nonprofit organizations and foundations accomplish within their communities. We’re constantly in awe of our nonprofit clients who are continually upholding their missions to improve their respective communities, filling the gaps where it’s needed the most. 

Not only do we have many nonprofit clients at SMB, several SMB employees donate their time and professional skills to organizations dear to their hearts outside of work time. SMB Partner & CPA Chris Myers is a current board member and past President and Treasurer of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Springfield. Chris also assisted in Chartering the CCCC Sertoma Club in 2012 and currently serves as the Treasurer and previously as the President and Chairman of the Board. Partner Jacob Sanders is a current board member and past Treasurer of K-9s for Camo and has been active with the organization since 2015. He’s also served as the Treasurer for Bryan University Foundation over the years. 

In other words, we’re very familiar with the needs and challenges nonprofit organizations face when it comes to payroll, tax filings, audits, and general accounting work. 

We also understand no two organizations have the same challenges or needs, which is why our approach to supporting nonprofits is no different than any other industry: we work to understand the specific needs of each nonprofit and apply our trusted expertise where they need it most. 

Below, Partner and CPA Matt Blackwell shares the top 3 reasons our nonprofit clients trust us with their most important accounting needs. 

  1. SMB CPAs has deep nonprofit experience. 
    • Our partners and staff have deep personal and professional experience in nonprofit accounting and support. From payroll to monthly/quarterly financials and financial statement audits, tax filings and internal operations support, clients trust our expertise and appreciate the positive experience we provide with every engagement. 
    • SMB works with many local nonprofits here in Springfield but we also work with regional nonprofits, too. We proudly provide audits for the Pujols Family Foundation in St. Louis, among others. This breadth of experience means we’ve helped nonprofits of all sizes and kinds across various communities solve for their accounting needs, and our team is uniquely ready to take on challenges of all kinds. 
    • We have professional nonprofit experience, of course. But, we’re also active members of our community nonprofits, helping to give back where we can for things that mean a lot to us and our staff. We think that’s just as important as anything else. 
  2. Our services are tailored to the individual needs of each nonprofit.
    • The needs of each nonprofit organization varies. Our team works to understand your organization, your particular challenges and strong suits so we can create a plan that best fits your needs, no matter how big or small they may be. Many of our nonprofit clients trust SMB for their monthly/quarterly accounting work, while some rely on us for financial reviews and auditing. Our client-centric approach combined with our reputation as a trusted advisor ensures our clients get exactly what they need. 
  3. We provide a cost benefit, save time, and alleviate unnecessary headaches.
    • Hiring a CPA or accounting partner often seems out of reach for some nonprofits. SMB works hard to understand your specific challenges and questions so that we can develop a partnership that is beneficial for you. We know not everyone is fluent in audits and complicated tax language and that’s where our expertise comes in. We work hard to show the value of our services, and our clients appreciate our expertise and peace of mind knowing that we have their best interests in mind, can save them time and money and alleviate a lot of headaches along the way.
