The challenge

As a lean nonprofit organization, Illinois Independent Living Center (IILC) has only one executive director who handles property management, volunteer oversight and bookkeeping. This left little time for preparing financial records for the annual audit review required for compliance.

The approach

Wipfli delivers ongoing audit and assurance support through monthly accounting reviews and continuous coaching. With deep knowledge of nonprofit accounting standards, Wipfli helped IILC establish best practices for reconciling accounts and accurately recording transactions.

The result

IILC is confident it has clear and accurate financials. Having Wipfli’s guidance on best practices year-round has transformed IILC’s audit season preparation into two hassle-free weeks.
