Lancaster & Reed is a leading firm in non profit audit services. We have an experience level that many smaller firms simply don't have and a high level of personal service that larger firms can't touch. We have service experience with broad range of non profit clients including:
•Institutionally Related & Private Foundations
•Trade associations and all types of membership organizations
•Professional societies
•Health care providers, clinics, nursing homes and small non profit hospitals
•Voluntary health and welfare organizations
•Arts and cultural organizations
•Religious organizations and churches
•Homeless support organizations

•Historical societies and museums
•Charitable remainder and annuity trusts
•Employee Benefit Plans
At many CPA firms non profit engagements are discounted and treated as "filler" work used to keep staff busy during slow periods of the year. At Lancaster & Reed we do not take that approach. Although we make every possible effort toward efficiency in order to minimize client fee cost, we invest in our practice by hiring high caliber professionals and by making sure they have the necessary expertise and training. By staffing our engagements with seasoned professionals, we can make significant observations and recommendations relative to assisting our clients in achieving their organization's objectives.
