Batts Morrison Wales & Lee is a CPA firm exclusively serving nonprofit organizations and their leaders.
Our founder, Mike Batts, began serving nonprofit organizations as a new staff accountant right out of college.
When I began, as a newly minted accountant, to work with the wonderful people who had made it their life's work to help others, I was captivated.
These folks were doing great work, helping people with all aspects of their lives - physically, emotionally, educationally, and spiritually.

Excellent churches and ministries are led by people who desire to operate above reproach.
They want to do the right things for the right reasons, and they believe in real accountability.
Many church and ministry leaders have come to BMWL for audit and assurance services because of our strong reputation for helping them make sure the financial bases are covered.
They often come to us after working with another accounting firm, and they share with us that they were concerned that their previous firm was not bringing matters to their attention that needed to be addressed.

While one of the primary motivations of a business is to make a profit, charities start with a very different purpose.
Charities exist for the purpose of making a positive difference in the world.
The differences between businesses and charities go far beyond their different purposes.
Many of the laws that govern charities are different from the laws that govern businesses, and the tax and accounting rules are very different.
When a large financial institution was serving as the trustee for a charitable organization and had concerns about certain aspects of its compliance and financial reporting, the financial institution engaged BMWL to assist in identifying and addressing the issues and to audit the financial statements.

A foundation is an organization created especially for the purpose of supporting one or more other organizations or causes.
There are public foundations and private foundations.
Many foundations are affiliated with operating organizations that they support (e.g., college and university foundations, hospital foundations, church or denominational foundations, etc.).
Private foundations are often formed by an individual, a family, or a business for the purpose of making grants to operating charities, churches, and other publicly-supported 501(c)(3) organizations.
