Accounting & Consulting for Associations, Trade Unions, & Professional Societies

Technology may simplify operations, but its ability to reach constituencies more easily and disseminate news and information more quickly challenge the very reason member-driven organizations arose in the first place. As a result, these groups must find new ways to add value while functioning in an environment of increased transparency.

As so many not-for-profit groups have discovered, tapping the expertise of an industry leader can prove essential to maintaining and building membership, streamlining everyday operations and fulfilling regulatory requirements. PKF O’Connor Davies’ commitment to the not-for-profit industry began with our founding more than a century ago; today we are proud to work with more than 2,000 such groups with a special focus on member-driven organizations.
