Audit Assistance for Nonprofits
The right audit prep starts with clean records and a partner who’s done it before.
Preparing audit schedules and requested documentation
Avoid the Scramble With Year-Round Audit Readiness
When it comes to audits, most nonprofits don’t struggle because of one big error. It’s usually a dozen small ones—missing documentation, poorly labeled expenses, confusing charts of accounts. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With The Charity CFO’s audit assistance, your books are accurate, organized, and audit-ready all year long—not just during crunch time. We support you through every phase of the process, from preparing schedules and gathering documentation to answering your auditor’s questions and strengthening your internal controls.
The Foundation of a Smooth Nonprofit Audit
What you really need ahead of an audit is the right partner—someone who ensures everything is accurate before the audit begins and who can stand beside you throughout the process. The Charity CFO is here to help with audit assistance services including:
Whether auditing for your nonprofit organization is being performed for the first time or the tenth, we’ll keep you moving through it with clarity and confidence.
It’s About More Than Passing the Audit
Getting through your audit is important. But so is using it as a moment to strengthen your financial systems, improve transparency, and build trust with your board, funders, and stakeholders. With our audit assistance, your audit becomes an asset—not a headache.
When your bookkeeping is clean and your processes are strong, everything becomes easier: applying for grants, answering donor questions, making strategic decisions, and preparing for future growth. We’re not just helping you “get through it.” We’re helping you grow through it.
Frequently Asked Questions About Audit Assistance
Do you conduct the audit for us?
No. As your financial partner, we support the nonprofit audit process—but we’re not the auditing firm. Instead, we work alongside your external auditor to prepare materials and act as your liaison throughout the process.
Will you prepare our IRS Federal Form 990?
For clients with audits, we typically coordinate with your external CPA to provide everything needed for tax preparation. While we do offer 990 prep in-house when needed, we don’t take on tax returns as a stand-alone service
How do you help with grant audits?
We support audits from local, state, and federal funders—including Single Audits under Uniform Guidance. If your organization spends $1 million or more in federal funds (for fiscal years ending after 10/1/24), a Single Audit may be required. We help you prepare with compliant systems, clean documentation, and financial reports that meet funder standards.
They are great communicators and make the financial aspects of running a non-profit much easier. Thank you, Charity CFO!
