The Marcum Tax-Exempt Advisory Services group has extensive experience in handling all aspects of tax planning, compliance and accounting issues for tax-exempt organizations. Our clients range from small, charitable organizations to large, international membership associations:

• Educational, religious and charitable organizations
• Independent schools
• Trade associations
• Social clubs
• Fraternal organizations

We work closely with the management, boards and staff of each organization in a team effort to meet the special challenges and issues they face.
