Our 501c3 service is as complete as it possibly can be. But sometimes, you may be able to use some other resources we have for you once you are a client of ours. Your mission is SO important to make this a better world for all the people you will be helping. We’re with you all they way, and we want to give you everything you need!
Unless you have some complex tax issues, you won’t need a CPA until your nonprofit brings in over $50,000 per year. (Under $50,000, it’s a simple 5-minute Internet filing once a year, no financials.)
Use our corporate checkup to make sure you are current and in compliance with state and federal regulations. The link to that will be in our final letter we email to you after you have received your 501c3 Determination Letter.

Here is an example of a prominent California (but your state may be quite different; these organizations are very skillful at making their solicitation appear to be very “official” looking): http://www.501c3GO.com/Corporate_Compliance.pdf.
FINALLY, WE ARE HERE FOR YOU IN THE YEARS TO COME.
We get calls from clients going back decades, asking us questions. After you get your 501c3 status, you’re still in our family. We still love you and will help you as we are able.
