Petersen CPAs and Advisors reaches beyond the traditional core services of accounting, audit and tax to support clients in need of specialized advising and offers in-depth knowledge in several areas including:

Non-profit

Petersen CPAs and Advisors understands how the environment of non-profit organizations is constantly changing and always challenging. As pressure mounts to increase services to meet the needs of the community, financial resources are likely declining. At the same time, government, donors, and other stakeholders are asking these same organizations to strengthen internal controls and improve governance.

Our non-profit specialists work with executives and board members to help them accomplish their mission through a balance of good governance and fiscal responsibility. We receive ongoing training in areas that affect the industry, keep you informed of the latest accounting and audit pronouncements and tax law changes, and help you address the implementation of such requirements. Most important, we deliver the level of communication, consultation, and value that you expect and deserve.

Vital to our success in this industry is the significant contributions of time our team members spend serving on boards and committees of not-for-profit organizations. We know this firsthand experience provides insight that is invaluable to clients.

Begin with proactive monitoring of risks

Fraud can happen in any business and can have a major impact including lost revenue, decreased employee morale and a damaged reputation that affects customers, vendors, referral sources, and banking relationships.

Petersen CPAs and Advisors can help you uncover areas for improvement in your organization’s financial recording, reporting, and oversight to help prevent asset misappropriation. An initial evaluation and recommendation is inexpensive and requires a minimal time investment.

An initial evaluation involves:

  • preparing a report with practical recommendations on how to minimize these vulnerabilities

If you suspect fraud, we can provide forensic accounting services, including:

  • an extensive investigation and organization of the records

  • tabulating losses for litigation or insurance purposes
