Cullen & Danowski, LLP provides services to a number of not-for-profit organziations, including auditing, accounting, consulting and tax preparation.

Not-For-Profit - Auditing and Accounting

A major portion of our practice is devoted to providing services for not-for-profit organizations. Consequently, all staff members spend considerable time servicing our not-for-profit clients, therefore they have acquired the special knowledge, skills, and experience needed to service our not-for-profit clients effectively and efficiently.

New York State requires all professionals to receive at least forty hours of continuing professional education (CPE) per year. All members of the Firm have exceeded these minimum requirements. Individuals from our firm are also actively involved in the training of not-for-profit personnel.

All certified members of the Firm maintain membership in the AICPA and the NYSSCPA. As a member of the AICPA's Division of Firms, the Firm underwent a third mandatory peer review of the accounting and auditing practice. This triennial review was conducted according to standards issued by the AICPA. The reviewer concluded that the Firm met the objectives of quality control standards issued by the AICPA and, accordingly, issued an unmodified report dated January 19, 2000.

Over the years, we have been engaged to provide various management consulting services for our not-for-profit clients. Our consulting services included reviews of the payroll function, purchasing and disbursement function, capital project expenditures, cash management systems, fixed asset accounting systems, internal control procedures, self-insured medical programs, and data processing systems. We have also provided assistance in the hiring and training of not-for-profit employees and developed client's accounting policies and procedures manuals.
