Restricted money,
Restricted money,
kept restricted.
The failure that ends small nonprofits is rarely fraud. It is restricted grant money spent on payroll because nobody tracked which dollars had strings attached until the funder asked.

What we do
Four services, built for nonprofits
We are not a CPA firm. Where a funder requires an audit or review, that goes to an independent CPA.

Monthly bookkeeping with restricted and unrestricted funds tracked properly from the start.

How we work
A Florida practice for nonprofits, and not a CPA firm
LMN Accounting LLC is a limited liability company registered in the State of Florida, document number L22000292476, filed in 2022, with registration details on public record with the Florida Division of Corporations.
We are not a certified public accounting firm and we perform no audits, reviews or compilations — where a funder, grantor or state registration requires one, it must come from an independent CPA firm and we will tell you early rather than at the deadline. We are also not attorneys: charitable solicitation law, lobbying limits, private benefit and exempt status questions belong with counsel. Your officers sign the 990 and the organisation remains responsible for its own compliance.
Frequently asked
The questions we get most
Can you audit us?
No. Audits and reviews require an independent CPA firm, and independence means it cannot be the people who keep your books. We will prepare the schedules your auditor needs and tell you when an audit is required.
Why does restricted tracking matter so much?
Because spending restricted money on general operating costs is the single most common way a small nonprofit ends up in trouble with a funder — usually without anyone intending it.
Our books are a mess and an audit is coming. Help?
Common, and we will tell you honestly what can and cannot be reconstructed. Clean-up is quoted separately after we have looked.
Who signs the Form 990?
An officer of the organisation. We prepare and review it with you, but it is your filing and it becomes a public document that funders will read.
Do we need to register with the state?
Florida requires charitable solicitation registration for most organisations that solicit. We track the filing; the legal question of whether an exemption applies is one for counsel.
Can you advise on lobbying limits?
No. That is legal advice. We can track and report the expenditure accurately, which is what counsel will need.
Treasurer handing over?
A free first meeting on where the books stand and what it would take to steady them.
