Knowing that we would be going through a time of transition on our Finance team, we researched a number of accounting services and ultimately chose PLUS based on their knowledge of New York nonprofits, government contracts, and flexibility to work with our Finance team structure. For the past year, during a time of ongoing transition on our Finance team, PLUS has served as a strong and steady partner to ensure the integrity of our financial operations.

PLUS took the time to thoroughly understand our needs and provided insightful recommendations that have enhanced the efficiency of our fiscal department. One of the standout qualities of PLUS’ team is their commitment to deadlines. Not only have they consistently delivered our monthly financial reports ahead of schedule, but they also managed to close out our fiscal year within two months after our year-end and had the annual started—well ahead of our previous experiences.
