Nonprofit Accounting in Los Angeles
Supporting Nonprofits in Los Angeles with Expert Accounting Since 1982
Nonprofit organizations are essential to society, driving cultural, educational, religious, and humanitarian efforts. Since 1982, Presti & Naegele has specialized in offering financial services tailored to nonprofit entities that qualify for tax exemption.
The IRS classifies 30 different types of nonprofit organizations, but only those with 501(c)(3) status can assure donors that their contributions are tax-deductible. Unlike for-profit businesses, nonprofits do not have owners and cannot distribute profits. Instead, any excess funds must be reinvested into advancing the organization's mission. This commitment to purpose over profit is what makes nonprofit organizations distinct.
Los Angeles is home to a thriving nonprofit sector, from arts foundations to social service organizations. With deep experience in nonprofit accounting in Los Angeles, our team ensures organizations remain financially strong while staying mission-focused.
Nonprofit accounting is a specialized form of accounting used by charitable and mission-driven organizations. Unlike for-profit entities that generate revenue through products or services, nonprofits primarily rely on donations and grants to fund their causes.
Donors and board members need to see how funds are used toward the intended programs and purposes. At P&N, our nonprofit accounting ensures financial transparency and accountability.
40+ years of celebrating the power of philanthropy by supporting our clients and their vital initiatives.
501(c)(3) organizations, as charitable nonprofits, often undergo financial audits to uphold compliance, demonstrate financial integrity, and maintain credibility with donors. These audits are crucial in ensuring adherence to regulatory standards.
At P&N, we provide the expert oversight needed to navigate these financial reviews, ensuring transparency and accountability for nonprofit organizations in Los Angeles.
Nonprofit accounting differs from standard business accounting because it focuses on managing and reporting individual funds separately. Properly categorizing income and expenses ensures compliance and financial clarity.

CLIENT REVIEWS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
I have had my business for more than 10 years and struggled through several *truly awful* accountants in the early years. I found Presti & Naegele about five years ago and have never looked back. They are a life-changing breath of fresh air and they will be my accountants for as long as I live. Donald Sager brings me confidence, peace and calm in an area of the business that would otherwise be stressful. He knows what he's doing and is always extremely responsive and ready with a plan of action and to explain anything at all. I am so grateful for him!
