Nonprofit accounting services overview

⊕ SERVICES

Three Services.
One Area
of Expertise.

Each service Stannex offers is scoped around a specific compliance need for tax-exempt organizations. No broad generalist work — only the filings and analyses nonprofits actually require.

WHAT WE COVER

A focused scope, applied thoroughly

Nonprofit tax work requires precision rather than breadth. Organizations operating under tax-exempt status face specific filing requirements, distinct rules around unrelated income, and a separate application pathway for new entities seeking recognition. Stannex operates exclusively within these areas.

Each of the three services below corresponds to a defined compliance task. The scope is described plainly, the pricing is stated upfront, and the work is carried out with the same attention to detail regardless of organization size.

HOW WE WORK

⊕ THE PROCESS

What to expect when working with Stannex

The process is consistent across all three services. Each engagement starts with a conversation about scope and concludes with a completed deliverable reviewed together. No surprise revisions, no ambiguity about what's included.

01

Initial discussion

A short conversation to understand your organization's situation, which service applies, and whether the standard scope covers your needs.

02

Document collection

You provide the financial records and supporting materials. A clear checklist is shared so you know exactly what's needed before work begins.

03

Preparation and review

The filing, analysis, or documentation is prepared and reviewed internally before it reaches you. Questions are raised directly if anything needs clarification.

04

Delivery and close

The completed work is delivered for your review. A brief walkthrough is available. Any final adjustments are made before the engagement concludes.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions about these services

Can more than one service be engaged at the same time?
Yes. Multiple services can run concurrently or sequentially depending on your timeline. Each is scoped and priced independently. The most common combination is tax return preparation together with unrelated business income analysis, where the UBI review informs the annual return.
Do these services cover state filings as well as federal?
The standard scope for each service focuses on federal information returns and federal tax-exempt status requirements. State-level charitable registration, state exemption filings, and state UBI obligations vary significantly by jurisdiction. If your situation involves state-level work, that can be discussed during the initial consultation to determine whether it falls within scope or requires a separate arrangement.
What financial records are typically needed to get started?
The specific list depends on the service. For annual return preparation, a trial balance or financial statements for the year are the starting point. For income analysis, a breakdown of revenue sources is needed. For exemption status support, organizational financial history and budget projections are the foundation. A complete checklist is shared after the initial discussion.
How is the pricing structured — is payment due upfront?
Payment terms are discussed at the start of each engagement. The figures listed on this page represent the full investment for the standard scope of each service. Arrangements for partial payment at engagement start and remainder at delivery can be discussed if that works better for your organization's budget cycle.
