The challenge

Illinois Independent Living Center (IILC) is a small nonprofit where the executive director manages everything from property oversight to bookkeeping. With limited staff and time, its complicated accounting processes and lengthy audits were creating significant strain on the organization.

The approach

Wipfli provided month-end accounting reviews and year-round coaching to optimize IILC’s accounting system, reconcile accounts and properly record special income and expense instances. This ongoing support keeps the nonprofit’s books clear and accurate throughout the year.

The result

When audit time arrived, the auditor team had 98% of what they needed right at their fingertips. Because of Wipfli's support, audits became fast and easy rather than a burden, allowing the executive director more time to focus on the organization’s mission.
