Addressing the financial reporting process for a local nonprofit

Sage Intacct enables Minnesota-based nonprofit Pillsbury United Communities to handle complexity with ease.

“It’s been a real pleasure working with Abdo, I do feel we had achieved a major success story together with the migration to Sage. Both the FTE effort and days required to close have been divided by two, and it provides the agency with much better data points for decision making and strategizing!”

This was my first year with Cookie Cart, and we are rebounding from some substantial financial transitions. We are honored to be in partnership with the Abdo team, who has been guiding and supporting us along the way.  When I offer my gratitude, it is heartfelt - this was a learning and development year for me and our team.  We have adjusted many processes through these opportunities, and Abdo serves us with a smile upon every step of the way.

They are all very professional and timely. More than willing to go out of their way to help with any needs, questions, or concerns I had about varied topics. The team was transparent in all communications and assisted in all we needed help with.

Community of Recovering People

Their deep understanding of our industry played a significant role in ensuring the process was seamless. As a nonprofit with an outsourced accounting team, the ability to collaborate and sync with them so effectively was absolutely critical. Beyond the technical aspects, they made this a valuable learning experience, going above and beyond to bring clarity to every stakeholder, from our internal team to leadership and all the way up to the board. Their professionalism and communication skills ensured that complex information was delivered transparently, fostering trust and confidence throughout the organization.

This year I celebrate my 24th nonprofit audit. I have been privileged to work with incredibly professional and intelligent people from four different firms; the team at Abdo tops them all. The collaborating way they approach their work results in the feeling of a true partnership. The intention of an annual audit is to ensure compliance and provide solutions to be better as an organization – we are better today due to our partnership with Abdo!
