While you focus on your mission, we’ll focus on the details.

Whether you’re a new rapidly growing not-for-profit, or a complex, multibillion-dollar foundation planning for the long term, you face similar challenges: complying with constantly changing regulations, filling talent gaps, and protecting against cyberthreats and other risks. The good news is you’re not alone. For a century, we’ve helped hundreds of organizations like yours solve the problems of the day.

We understand the importance of your mission. Whether your goal is to build, grow, or sustain your organization, our dedicated team of nonprofit industry experts — combined with the firm’s full range of audit, tax, and consulting capabilities — will work alongside you to develop a sustainable business model tailored to the unique structural, financial, and operational issues you face.

The quality of our work is second to none, and our connections and network are vast. We’ll not only meet your expectations but expect to exceed them by creating value and offering best practices based on decades of experience with clients across the globe.

    Like you, we guide our firm by our values. We follow the Golden Rule, we put people first, and we believe there’s no right way to do the wrong thing. These principles help us to support your growth and success.

    Kellie Ray, our not-for-profit practice leader, is proud of her team’s experience and enthusiasm for the industry. “Our partners and staff speak our clients’ language, understand the importance of their mission, and share their passion and dedication. It’s a privilege to help increase the impact nonprofit organizations have on their communities and constituents.”

    The Plante Moran team I interact with is very professional and responsive and has a strong industry knowledge of not-for-profits and the regulations that are required. Their annual not-for-profit accounting update is very beneficial, as it provides a nice way to touch base and details any new standards that we may need to consider in the future for planning purposes. I feel comfortable reaching out to them any time I have a question, and I appreciate that they take the time to explain the details we need to know. I would recommend Plante Moran to other organizations.
