Building nonprofit resilience

Nonprofits help sustain our communities.  

To continue their critical work, nonprofits need to navigate challenges of their own: Budgetary constraints, complex funding, compliance, technology, donor stewardship are only some of the hurdles they face. 

Each nonprofit organisation mission is unique, and so are the ways they overcome obstacles and seek opportunities. BDO professionals bring a specialised focus to the distinct concerns of the sector. We tailor approaches to help organisations maintain a nonprofit heart and business mindset, so they can improve financial and operational health while expanding their impact.

BDO understands the unique audit, tax and advisory requirements of the not-for-profit sector, which comes from our experience in acting for the sector over many years. We know that not-for-profit organisations are founded upon strong relationships. A value BDO shares and is known for.

Our experienced not-for-profit teams work closely with you to design cost-effective approaches to improving operational performance, while maintaining a strong commitment to the communities you serve.

We take time to develop a solid understanding of your organisation, your mission and values, and combine this with our in-depth knowledge of issues affecting the not-for-profit sector to deliver proven results. We can help you navigate:

• Global donor services

• Strategic business planning

• Salary packaging solutions

• National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

• Tax exemptions and concessions 

• Identification of risk in the not-for-profit sector

• IT strategy and infrastructure

• Project management implementation

• Compliance including regulatory and financial reporting.

We understand that ‘not-for-profit’ describes a number of different types of organisations, including educational institutions, charities, healthcare, sporting and community clubs, and membership organisations. With this front of mind, we provide advice that reflects the nature of your organisation — with your unique needs, challenges and opportunities.
