ot-For-Profit organizations have their own distinguishing characteristics. Resources are often limited and restricted to charitable purposes, but the operations of Not-For-Profit organizations must remain simplified yet efficient. These organizations require more detailed planning, and are under public scrutiny now more than ever before.

In today’s rapidly changing business environment, the ability to successfully navigate the operational and regulatory environment associated with a tax-exempt status requires a specialized advisory relationship. To meet the needs of tax-exempt organizations, Cherry, Bekaert & Holland has established the Not-For-Profit Group.
The Not-For-Profit Group provides our clients with access to accounting and tax professionals who have undergone specialized training and have dedicated their careers to the service of tax-exempt organizations. We have professionals with experience in working in not-for-profit organizations, members of state society NFP committees, and members of National AICPA Tax Exempt Organization committees.
