马克·托马斯注册会计师

合作伙伴

"Clients come to us for our expertise 和 to solve their problems. They expect our best work, 和 we provide it."

As a CPA, 马克•托马斯 fixes problems. More accurately, he helps clients, especially those in the 非营利性 行业 审计及保证需要, create processes compliant with governmental accounting st和ards 和 systems 和 assist with internal controls to help them grow.

马克在501(c)(3)方面的工作, 501(c)(4) 和 501(c)(6) 非营利性s focuses on 审计 和 assurance work for educational institutions, including private 和 charter schools, trade associations for airports 和 pharmaceutical organizations, political groups 和 human services-related entities.

While Mark, a partner at 委员,葡京会手机app下载 & 老葡京手机app(老葡京手机app) with nearly 25 years of public accounting experience, supports 非营利性s in all areas, revenue recognition compliance is one of his specialties. As 非营利性s downsize 和 move into remote environments, he helps ensure their revenue recognition processes are set up correctly, especially as internal controls 和 personnel change over time. Mark also supports 非营利性s with lease accounting guidance to record those agreements accurately.

Pension plan 审计s are another area where 非营利性s look to Mark for guidance. The Department of Labor often requires this type of 审计, 和 clients frequently are unaware of what they must do to remain compliant. Mark works with a client’s leadership team, usually incorporating human resources, to educate clients on their fiduciary responsibilities 和 how to manage 和 account for any pension funds set aside correctly.

Mark is always ready when clients call 和 ask what they need to do to take on a new situation or adjust their operations for a new governmental st和ard. That’s why he often leads staff training 和 discussions with clients on implementing new st和ards. It’s a philosophy he inherited from his father who taught him to try his best in everything he does while helping people along the way.

That effort to do the best he can transfers to his life outside the office. Mark is a fan of DIY (do it yourself) projects because learning how to do new things gives him a sense of accomplishment. Fixing the brakes on his own car is among his many DIY achievements 和 he’s on a lifelong endeavor to restore a 1974 VW Super Beetle. 他不在外面工作的时候, Mark enjoys spending time with his family or reading a good fantasy book (the 《葡京会手机app下载》哈利波特 系列剧是他的最爱.)
