Don’t expect to only hear from us by email. Don’t look for us locked away in one of our own conference rooms. Rather, expect to see us working side-by-side with your staff members, volunteers and clients. Not only does this allow us to immerse ourselves in your organization, it gives us an intimate view of the everyday challenges you face. With blum, you will have the support you need to explore your options and pursue the best path forward.
Drawing on this experience, we can show you proven ways to leverage existing resources to impact results, like how to address less funding from government and private sources, comply with increased regulations, stretch already limited resources to meet greater needs and enhance the capabilities of your in-house financial staff without adding to overhead costs.
Our comprehensive service offerings allow us to help you implement proven strategies so you can make accurate and informed business decisions:
blum provides timely and knowledgeable responses. They are consistent and reliable in the services that they provide. As the Executive Director of a non-profit agency, I find their staff to be professional and always mindful of the unique needs of a non-profit environment. They are uniquely positioned to present professional advice and counsel for the present and for the future needs for our agency, while always keeping a hand on the pulse of the trends in our industry.
- Toni Dolan, Executive Director, Beth-El Center, Inc.As the president of a long-term care continuum I was challenged in the process of creating internal controls, streamlining our accounting processes and implementing best practice procedures and methods. blum came on board to handle the accounting functions, and when my controller left the organization I increased their responsibilities. I get all of the benefits of a talented accounting team without the expense of a full-time employee. They understand our unique needs as a not-for-profit provider and are extremely responsive to our concerns and are patient in answering our questions. They are professional, organized, and have established systems so that our monthly, quarterly and year-end processes provide the information that ensures our annual audit and corporate reporting goes smoothly. I know now I have valid and accurate information that gives me the confidence to make the right decisions for our business.
- Patricia Morse, President & CEO, CT Baptist HomesOutsourcing our bookkeeping and accounting functions to blum was one the best decisions we’ve made. Each month blum provides the Executive Director and Board a clear, comprehensible, consistent picture of the agency’s financial status, enabling all of us to plan more strategically and manage more effectively. We can discuss finances with funders with confidence. Relieved of some financial and administrative responsibilities, staff can focus on program development and revenue generation. We can do what we do best, and let blum do what they do best.
- Carol DeVido Hauss, Executive Director, Literacy Volunteers of Greater HartfordThe ability to work collaboratively is a Discovery Center value. We were also seeking to reduce our administrative overhead so we could focus more of our resources on building our programs. blum understood our needs and provided solutions that work for a small company with a mostly non-technical staff.
- Kate Busch Gervais, Executive Director, The Discovery Centerblum has been a great partner for the YMCA of Greater Hartford. It all starts with their team who have been wonderful to work. Their knowledge and understanding of not for profits in general and YMCA's specifically enable us to focus on areas that are most important to our organization. blum is able to draw upon a variety of resources within their firm to make sure that our audit plan covers everything that we need to focus on so we can make certain that we have the control environment we want and that those controls are working.
