We are proud that, since our founding in 1990, serving not-for-profit organizations has been a primary focus for our firm. We strongly believe in helping those who help others.

Additionally, we encourage our personnel to volunteer their time, share their accounting expertise and develop their leadership skills through involvement in not-for-profit groups. Our professionals serve as consultants for and/or sit on the boards of directors for many organizations, as well as holding leadership roles in their churches, volunteering at their children’s schools and coaching for youth sports groups. Our team includes many graduates of the Leadership Pittsburgh, Inc. and LDI programs.
