Nonprofit Accounting in San Francisco

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.
