Success Stories

NPCM began working with a domestic violence and mental health agency with a $3 Million dollar budget in November, 2005.  Before NPCM, the accounting was done on by a relative of the Executive Director part-time.  When NPCM took over, the non-profit had just posted a $350,000 deficit for the previous fiscal year.  NPCM installed proper internal controls and better reporting so management could tell where the losses where coming from.  In two years, the non-profit was showing a year end surplus. 

NPCM also worked with a non-profit that provides housing to people with developmental disabilities.  They had a $2.5 Million dollar budget and had recently fired the controller and executive director.  The accounting was being done by a temp agency.  Before, the organization was on the brink of going out of business and merging with another organization.  After only 6 months, NPCM was able to install proper internal controls and reporting so management could monitor the financial health of the company.  With this information, new management was able to make the necessary changes to improve the stability of the non-profit. They recently opened a new residential house for the first time in over 20 years.

Benefits

In today’s accounting environment, it is critical to ensure that your organization has the proper internal controls in place.  Recent changes in accounting regulations now instruct auditors to sight an internal-control deficiency when the potential for a misstatement exists, not whether a misstatement actually occurred.  Our support includes analysis and recommendations on internal controls and accounting workflow, answers to your daily bookkeeping questions, budgeting assistance, assistance interpreting your financial reports, and other general accounting inquires that you or your finance staff might have.
