REACH OUT TO OUR EXPERTS

Audit preparation, day-to-day accounting, and financial compliance support

We treat our nonprofits with respect and act as an extension of the internal team. It is our privilege to serve our nonprofit clients and support their mission by providing the kind of accurate and reliable reporting that gives the entire organization confidence in their financials. That confidence starts with the internal leadership, followed by the Board of Directors, donors/grantors, and the public at large. Many nonprofits will post their 990 and clean audit reports on their website as a point of pride to show their financial transparency.

Our long history with nonprofits speaks to the commitment we have and the relationships we build with our NFP partners. We support nonprofits as they navigate upgrades to their technology and improvements to their financial management because we know that with better financial management, your mission can thrive.

Audit Preparation

Annual Audits de-Stressed

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the regulations your nonprofit organization must follow? Do you dread the thought of an impending audit, even with a competent accounting department? You’re not alone.

Nonprofits prioritize keeping operational costs low to better serve their cause, and audits can be an added burden on already lean accounting departments. That’s where Signature Analytics comes in.

We specialize in supporting mid-sized and larger nonprofit organizations across the country. Our team has the knowledge and experience to help you prepare your financial statements and pass your annual audit with confidence. Don’t let the fear of an audit hold you back from making a difference. Get the support you need with an outsourced accounting team.

Testimonials

We initially hired Signature Analytics to manage our basic accounting operations, but soon realized that finance can help drive so many more aspects of our business. We would (and do!) recommend them to every business who can’t afford a full-time accounting team.

CEOMarketing Agency

Where others had failed in the past, Signature Analytics was able to come in and bring order to our financial information within the first month of our relationship. Signature Analytics has been proactive in all areas of our business, including introductions to other key business advisors, assistance with ongoing financing, development of Key Performance Indicators and projections, and analysis of ongoing cash management.

CEOBrewery

Signature Analytics has been an invaluable adviser to our company and has integrated themselves into the fabric of our business. They understand our core beliefs and what we are trying to accomplish. Through their guidance, we now have accurate accounting records that we can rely on, to go with new SBA financing to further grow our business.

CEOLaboratory Service Provider

Signature Analytics has been wonderful to work with over the years. They’re always looking for new ways to help us and have become a trusted sounding board for new ideas. We have the type of confidence and trust in the Signature Analytics team to work independently without a lot of oversight. The Signature Analytics team has given us a wealth of knowledge and insight.

Director of Accounting Fintech Software Company

They helped a very understaffed, and thin budget organization really step into the 21st century, not just by getting the books in order, but really using the systems to help train staff and to kind of bring them into better management techniques. Signature Analytics put a bunch of processes in place for us. They brought in an HR consultant who works with us on a number of issues, and I couldn’t have done it without her or Signature Analytics. And she’s still with us. So it’s a real team effort as we strengthen the processes and procedures of running this organization that are now firmly in place.

Chief Executive Director Non-Profit

The money that you invest in something like financial reporting, and the services that Signature Analytics provides, on the outside might look substantial, but, if you’re short-sighted and don’t understand the value of an organization like Signature Analytics to a small and growing business, you’re setting yourself up for failure. And now, I think of them as part of our organization. I’ve recommended them personally and professionally to several other companies and, to me, that’s the best thing you can say about an organization.

PrincipalEnergy-focused Sales Agency

As we were growing, we had plans to reach a certain size but felt our infrastructure might not be adequate to get us there. So we brought SA in to do an assessment, and they let us know what the next steps were to get to where we wanted the business to go. They highlighted weak areas for improvement, which included restructuring our technology systems and the accounting department. We jumped on that right away and hired them to take over the entire project.

CFOMulti-location Auto Service Franchise

They stopped being a vendor after we put ink to paper on the contract. It really became a partnership from start to finish. They integrated with who we are, but they were all business in getting stuff done and very much were thinking about our future and our well being as an organization. I felt very much like they were a part of my team. Plus my board’s ecstatic about what my finance guy is able to present because he can take Signature’s reporting and run with that. You can’t build your house until you put your foundation down, and what Signature did was put a foundation down that we can build on.
