Nonprofit.

While you're focused on giving back, we've got your back.

We serve scores of not-for-profit entities across California, with a broad range of organizational missions. From a single tax-exempt organization to a complex mix of related for-profit and nonprofit entities, MGO has the expertise to serve you.

We continually strive to be more than traditional auditors and consultants, offering additional services such as board presentations, information on nonprofit “hot topics” and in-house training for your accounting staff. MGO partners and directors have instructed hundreds of CPAs throughout California in auditing and accounting for nonprofit organizations, including facilitating understanding of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) audits. To help ensure that we provide the best possible service to our not-for-profit clients, we also serve on the boards of numerous organizations.

Greater efficiency for the greater good.
