“As a non-profit our programming is multidimensional and potentially complex. Our funding is from many different sources. Carew & Wells isn’t just an auditor to us. They take the time to explain the audit process and offer advice as to how to improve our accounting operations so that we become a better organization.”

Marc McMurphy, Executive Director, White Birch Community Center.

This has left both management and governance feeling secure and satisfied.”
