A Single Audit or financial statement audit, handled by a CPA who specializes in nonprofit audits. Free consultation, no obligation.
A grantor, lender, or board just told you an audit is required
You've talked to CPAs who quoted sky-high prices, dragged out the timeline, or just turned the work down

You're not sure if you need a full audit, a review, or a compilation
No generic sales pitch. 30 minutes, direct with a nonprofit-specialized CPA, three concrete outcomes.
We confirm exactly which service you need: full audit, review, or compilation
You get a real price range for your organization's size, not a generic quote
We map out a realistic timeline, so you know what to tell your board or grantor
Six real stages, not a vague "we'll be in touch." Week-counts below are placeholders until confirmed.
Confirm exactly what you need, get a real price range and a real timeline.
We review your books and records against what the audit actually requires, before fieldwork starts.
Testing transactions, confirming balances with banks, donors and lenders, reviewing grants and contracts.
Draft audited statements and disclosures, shared with you for review before anything is final.
Partner-level review, then your final audited financial statements and required letters.
A walkthrough of results with your board if you want one, plus practical recommendations going forward.
Not sure which one applies to you? Here's exactly how they differ. We'll confirm which fits on the free call.
| Service | Assurance Level | Scope of Work | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audit | Highest level of assurance | Full financial statement audit under GAAS; risk assessment, internal control walkthroughs, substantive testing, confirmations, analytical procedures, and an audit opinion | Organizations needing audited financials for lenders, grantors, state requirements, or board expectations |
| Review | Limited assurance | Inquiry and analytical procedures only; no testing of transactions; provides limited assurance that financials are free of material misstatement | Organizations that need a comfort-level report but not a full audit; lower-risk, smaller nonprofits |
| Compilation | No assurance | Presents financial statements based on information management provides; no testing, no inquiries, no assurance | Internal use, board review, or when financial statements are needed but assurance isn't required |
| Single Audit / Compliance | High level of assurance | Testing of federal/state compliance requirements under 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Guidance); internal control evaluation; program-specific audit procedures | Organizations receiving $750,000+ in federal awards annually |

In their own words.
"Dickson quickly understood our needs and gave practical solutions. He is professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him for accounting and auditing help. He being a kind-hearted person is another plus for those working with him."
"Our business vision has been made clearer, especially with regards to our financial position. Thanks to the accounting advisory services provided. Best of all you provide a prompt service for both our businesses in the UK and Africa."
"It started with a vague conversation about a business idea that I had and went on to being one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. After just one advisory session with Dickson, I felt like I got my money's worth."
See the comparison above. An audit gives the highest level of assurance and results in a signed opinion, a review gives limited assurance through inquiry and analytics only, and a compilation presents your numbers with no assurance at all. We'll confirm which one your grantor, lender, or board actually requires on the free call.
It depends on your organization's size and complexity. We'll give you a real price range on the free consultation, not a guess.
Depends on your organization's size and how audit-ready your books are going in. We'll give you a real timeline on the free call, not a vague estimate.
If your organization spent $750,000 or more in federal awards in a single year, you likely need a Single Audit under 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Guidance). If not, a standard financial statement audit is probably what applies. We'll confirm on the free call.
