Reports Your Board and Donors Can Actually Read
Fund accounting and financial reporting built for nonprofit accountability
Running a nonprofit means answering to multiple stakeholders at once — your board, your donors, your grantors, and in some cases, the IRS. The financial reports you share with each of them need to do more than add up correctly. They need to tell a clear story about where funds came from, where they went, and how much supported your programs versus your administrative costs.
At Hartmann & Associates, we prepare financial statements structured specifically for nonprofit organizations, with program and administrative expenses separated so every stakeholder can see exactly how resources were used. Our financial statement preparation follows the reporting framework nonprofits need, not a one-size-fits-all small business format.
We also handle bookkeeping on an ongoing basis, maintaining the fund accounting records that make accurate reporting possible in the first place. When your books are organized month to month, your year-end financial statements and your donor reports don't require a scramble — they reflect what's already been tracked.

Compliance Handled Carefully — Tax-Exempt Status Intact
Tax-exempt status is not something a nonprofit can afford to lose, and it's not something that maintains itself automatically. The IRS requires annual reporting, and the details matter. A missed deadline, an incomplete Form 990, or misclassified revenue can create problems that take far longer to resolve than they would have taken to prevent.
Our business tax services include preparation of nonprofit-specific tax filings, including Form 990 preparation for organizations required to file. We approach these filings carefully, making sure income, expenses, program descriptions, and governance disclosures are accurately reported.
- Form 990 preparation for required filers
- Nonprofit-specific business tax return support
- Sales tax compliance review where applicable
- Coordination with your financial statements for consistent, accurate reporting
We're not a large CPA firm with a dedicated nonprofit practice group — we're a full-service accounting firm that works with nonprofits the same way we work with every client: personally, carefully, and in-house. Nothing is outsourced.
Full-Service Accounting Without the Big-Firm Price Tag
Small and mid-sized nonprofits often assume that the level of accounting support they actually need is out of reach — that it requires a large firm with a dedicated nonprofit division and fees to match. That assumption costs organizations more than they realize, usually in the form of disorganized books, delayed reports, and compliance stress.
Hartmann & Associates has been serving Northern Nevada businesses and organizations for over 48 years. We offer the same depth of service — bookkeeping, financial statements, tax filings, and advisory support — that larger firms provide, with the personal attention that only comes from a smaller, relationship-driven practice. Every client works directly with our team. No handoffs, no outsourcing, no junior staff working through a queue.
For nonprofits operating on tight budgets, that combination matters. You get accounting that's done right, by people who know your organization, at a price point that makes sense for an organization reinvesting every dollar into its mission.

We work with nonprofits of varying sizes across Northern Nevada, including smaller community organizations and associations. If your organization needs organized books, accurate financial statements, or help with annual tax filings, we can help — regardless of your budget or staff size.What is fund accounting, and does your firm handle it?
Fund accounting is a bookkeeping method used by nonprofits to track money by its designated purpose — separating restricted funds (donor-designated or grant-restricted) from unrestricted operating funds. We maintain fund-based records so your financial statements reflect how money was received and used, which is what your board and grantors need to see.Do you prepare Form 990 for nonprofits in Nevada?

We prepare the return accurately and on time, coordinating the information with your financial statements to make sure everything is consistent and complete before filing.Can you help us separate program expenses from administrative expenses in our reports?
Yes — this is a standard part of how we structure financial statements for nonprofit clients. Program versus administrative expense reporting is a core requirement for donor transparency and board oversight, and we build that separation into your books and your reports from the start.Our organization is based in Sparks. Do you work with nonprofits in the surrounding area as well?
