DWD Nonprofit Difference

Experience the DWD Nonprofit Difference

We Understand.

We believe there is a need for nonprofit organizations to have a partner that understands the specific challenges of being a nonprofit.  This is why we have dedicated ourselves to serving the nonprofit sector.  We understand there is a connection between a nonprofit’s ability to be financially viable and its ability to accomplish its mission.  A thriving nonprofit must focus on both.  We are committed to helping you gain a better understanding of what the financials mean and how to use them to make decisions regarding operations.  A strong financial management understanding gives your organization the freedom to focus on achieving your mission.  Nonprofit accounting is unique and requires specialized knowledge and experience.  Our Nonprofit Service Team focuses nearly 100% of the time on nonprofit organizations so that we can provide expert advice to you.  Your nonprofit organization and its needs come first at DWD.

We Serve Our Community Too.

We share a common vision of improving our community.  With a strong commitment to our community, our team members are active community volunteers and leaders.  Giving back to the community in which we live, work and play is one of our core values and the foundation upon which we build all relationships.   Our team members serve on various nonprofit boards and committees in our community.  This experience provides us with a deeper understanding of the challenges your organization faces and gives us firsthand experience to better serve you.

We Provide Guidance.

Because of our community involvement and specialization in nonprofits, our team members provide a wealth of practical knowledge and experience to your organization.  Through each of our services, we provide solutions and recommendations to help you maintain financial stability and accountability.  For example, we see the audit process as an opportunity to provide guidance on best practices to help your organization long after the audit is complete.  We encourage you to reach out to our team members throughout the year for questions and consultation.    

We are a Resource.

To help you achieve your mission, our “Mission Minded” nonprofit blog provides a source of best practices for nonprofits, from board governance to unrelated business income and maintaining tax-exempt status.  We also provide free monthly webinars to help you better understand and stay current on accounting requirements, regulations, and issues facing the nonprofit sector.  Visit our Nonprofit Education page to register for upcoming webinars and view past recordings.  

AICPA Certified

Our Nonprofit Service Team members hold AICPA Not-For-Profit Certifications, providing us with the skills required to serve your nonprofit’s unique needs.
