Case Study
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!”

Beyond the audit: Building a partnership that drives impact
For many organizations, the annual audit is a source of dread. But for My Very Own Bed, it’s an opportunity to help the organization further its mission. Abdo began working with this Twin Cities-based nonprofit in 2022 and, as Joe Wallis tells it, the partnership has created a meaningful opportunity for the team at Abdo too.
Audit or not? How to determine what your organization needs
Not every nonprofit needs an audit. In some cases, an alternative option, such as an internal control consultation or compilation of financial statements, may be the better solution. In this article, Abdo partner and nonprofit advisor Hannah Hugen sheds light on the benefits and limitations of an audit—and how to choose the right service for your nonprofit.
