Millbury, MA–based Accountant Paul Dion launches non-profit division

Being a “non-profit” business doesn’t mean you have the luxury of running an inefficient organization. Far from it. With boards of directors and donors to answer to, non-profits not only have to run more efficiently, but utilize all the tax strategies and benefits available to them. To help local and regional nonprofits, Millbury, MA-based CPA Paul C. Dion has established a non-profit division.

“As a non-profit, the tax laws are quite specific and can have some serious ramifications if all the i’s aren’t dotted and t’s crossed,” said Paul C. Dion, CPA, CTC. “Our new division was set up to help not-for-profits set up and maintain their tax-exempt status by handling all their IRS reporting,” 

Some of the services provided by the non-profit division include: 
• Design, install, and maintain your Accounting System
• Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly payroll preparation• Payroll tax preparation and deposits
• Training for your accounting personnel• Completion and filing of non-profit status application
• Training for non-profit’s board on non-profit financial statement usage and effective budgeting practices
• Preparation and filing 990 and 990T tax forms
• Preparation of initial start-up documentation, including incorporation, federal employee identification number (FEIN), and payroll setup with federal and state agencies.

The new nonprofit division will also work with churches, including the preparation of the pastoral housing allowance and other required benefit documentation to meet the complex dual status of ministers. In addition, Paul Dion CPA will offer preparation services for new nonprofits filing 501 (c)(3) applications for tax-exempt status.

“Non-profits face plenty of challenges before you take into consideration taxes and special filings,” said Dion. “With this new division, we can help existing and new nonprofits focus the bulk of their attention on the good and important work they are doing.”
