Accounting Support for Nonprofits and Mission-Driven Organizations

Sylvia & Co. Accounting provides reliable accounting and bookkeeping support for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations that need experienced financial oversight without the cost of a full-time hire.

Our services are designed to support accuracy, consistency, and strong internal financial systems. Pricing is transparent and based on organizational size, transaction volume, funding complexity, and reporting needs. Each engagement is scoped in advance so expectations are clear from the start.
