You can rely on Hungerford Nichols to ensure compliance with new standards, along with the most current rules and regulatory requirements. We’ll keep you educated on the changes, challenges and opportunities available to make your organization more efficient and effective.

We bring an experienced team with a focus on nonprofit auditing, accounting, and support services.

Nonprofit Auditing

We’re proud of our track record of keeping audits efficient and cost-effective. Our extensive knowledge of provisions and auditing techniques gives you the accountability so critical to your not-for-profit’s success. Our attention to detail and ongoing personal service make your audit process as stress-free as possible.

Firm Support

Hungerford Nichols’ corporate philosophy and mission goes well beyond great service for not-for-profits. We care about community and have made significant investments of time and resources to support many charitable groups and events in Michigan. Our team members serve on boards and help with fundraising, determined to do their part to make our neighborhoods better places to live and work.

Commitment

Our full-service firm brings the depth of expertise, efficiency and one-on-one service our clients have come to expect, including ever-important continuity of service from year to year.

Our priorities include being timely, accurate and anticipating your needs. And our commitment transcends traditional services — we’ll work with you to provide the numbers and support you value, but we’ll also bring good ideas your way and help you adapt to the changes in regulations and laws impacting not-for-profits.

You’ll get sound advice, continuing education and superior audit, accounting and support services. You’ll benefit from the assistance of one of the region’s most respected CPA firms, serving West Michigan clients since 1941.
