Starting a nonprofit takes vision. Sustaining and scaling one takes discipline and the right financial foundation.
Led by Crystal Barrow McKinney, CPA — who has served as a Board of Trustees Treasurer — we bring both. From securing your IRS determination letter to building strong financial controls, forecasting with confidence, and positioning your organization to raise and manage funds effectively, we support your nonprofit at every stage of growth.
A nonprofit isn't a lesser version of a business. It's a more complex one — with all the management challenges of a company, plus the compliance demands of the IRS, the accountability expectations of donors and grantors, and the weight of a mission that matters.
CBarrow CPA & Advisory brings the same operational rigor and financial expertise we apply to growing businesses directly to the nonprofit sector — from the first IRS filing through long-term organizational growth.
Our 501(c)(3) formation service guides you through every step of the process — no surprises, no delays.
Nonprofit articles of incorporation, bylaws drafting, state registration, charitable solicitation filings, board structure design, and registered agent setup.
Organizational narrative development, program descriptions, financial projections and budgets, public support test analysis, conflict of interest policies, and full IRS correspondence support through determination letter.
Fund accounting setup, chart of accounts design, restricted and unrestricted fund tracking, accounting software implementation (QuickBooks Nonprofit), and initial financial controls.
Grant compliance frameworks, Form 990 preparation support, audit readiness, indirect cost rate development, federal grant compliance (Uniform Guidance), and ongoing financial reporting for boards and donors.
