Outsourcing tax preparation and other accounting tasks to private accountants is common for nonprofits that don't employ in-house financial specialists. But outsourcing the accounting for trade organizations can come at a steep price, and it may be that the private accountant you choose isn't particularly familiar with the unique considerations and opportunities of accounting for nonprofits. Working with BAM allows you to avoid both of those problems; the accountants we employ are proficient in the nonprofit arena, and our firm delivers accurate and timely financial services at highly competitive rates.
Our staff is equipped to handle more than the usual tax filings and financial reports. If your association is experiencing specific problems with the financial components of your trade organization management system, you can call in BAM to sort things out. By reviewing your financials and asking simple, straightforward questions, we can clear up complicated and challenging bookkeeping issues.
The association management industry is packed with relative newcomers to the field. While these newer companies may boast one or two staff members with substantial experience, the majority of the hands-on staff may have even less trade organization management system experience than your own volunteers and employees.
We at BAM believe that if your group is going to pay a third party to provide support services and efficiencies, those services should be carried out by experienced and qualified staffers. It's simply not worth the risk to delegate marketing, administration or accounting for trade organizations to firms that are dominated by employees with the minimum education and experience requirements.
BAM's senior staff puts more than 75 years of collective experience to work for our clients every day. Unlike many of our competitors, these key leaders are actively involved in the day-to-day operations of all of our client services. If your association management firm can't offer your organization the confidence that only serious experience can instill, the time to call BAM is now.
