The Accounting Firm for Faith-Based Organizations
Give your nonprofit the foundation to grow.
Nonprofit accounting and compliance can be complex and time-consuming. Align builds you a foundation that keeps your finances clear and easy to track. With that kind of transparency, your ministry can grow, scale, and put every dollar toward greater impact.
A TRUSTED EXPERT IN NONPROFIT FINANCE
When your finances are clear, your mission goes further.
Running a nonprofit carries significant weight. You trust God completely with the mission He has entrusted to you, and still, the finances can feel overwhelming. You may find yourself asking, Am I even managing this the right way?
Mia understands the heart of a ministry leader. From a young age, she felt called to hone her accounting expertise specifically for faith-based ministries, rather than build a general practice. For decades since, she has partnered with ministries across the nation and even internationally, becoming a specialist in the rules, risks, and day-to-day realities nonprofits face.
When you establish transparent financial systems and safeguards, everything downstream changes! You can trace a single dollar from the moment it's given to the moment it funds the mission. You know exactly where your ministry stands, so you're equipped to make wise decisions. Your donors see their generosity at work and give with greater confidence. And your financial plan becomes the road map to expand impact.
"WHO WILL TRUST YOU WITH TRUE RICHES?" LUKE 16:11
No ministry is too small, too new, or too far along.
For decades, ministries across the nation have trusted Align with their finances, and what an honor that has been. We've watched organizations of every size and mission discover that faithful stewardship isn't optional; it's how a ministry fulfills its calling. When you steward every dollar with integrity, true riches follow: lives changed, families restored, communities transformed.

THE NUANCES TO GET NONPROFIT ACCOUNTING RIGHT
Bringing clarity, compliance, and ease to nonprofit accounting.
Nonprofit accounting is its own world. There are restricted funds to monitor, grants to report on, tax-exemption rules to follow, and donations to track. Most firms don't specialize in any of that, and your ministry is too important to leave compliance to guesswork. So we set up clear accounting systems your team can repeat every month. You save time, every dollar works harder, and your mission goes further than ever.
A trusted CPA-led accounting firm
Accounting services for Nonprofits.
Every donation your ministry receives comes from someone who believes in your mission. That gift deserves to be followed all the way through. When you can follow a dollar from donation to the project it funds, you know your spending matches your vision. Nothing gets lost along the way.
That kind of tracking takes a system, and a system only works if your team knows how to run it. So we build it with you, then train your team on the ongoing processes. That is the part most firms skip. We work hand in hand, empowering your team to understand the process, spot problems early, and stay compliant. Your team gains real independence, and you gain confidence that every dollar is going where God is leading you.

Why Align
Biblical wisdom built into every step.
Align was founded by Mia Celino, CPA. Her heart is to see your missional organization align its finances with its vision and thrive. Her goal is to equip you with the tools and confidence to fulfill the calling God has entrusted to you.
Everything Align offers, from the booklet to consulting, is grounded in what Scripture says about stewardship, accountability, and faithfulness. That conviction shapes how we work: we don't create dependence. Pastors, elders, and staff leave every engagement able to read, question, and defend the numbers themselves.
It all runs on the Five-Point Alignment Method, the framework Mia developed to pair national nonprofit best practices with biblical wisdom. This method helps your budget become what it was always meant to be: your vision expressed in numbers, with every dollar moving toward the destination God has given you.
Working with Align Consulting Group was an absolute blessing! They guided us through every step of forming our nonprofit, from filing with the state to obtaining our IRS 501(c)(3) status.
Their professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence that everything was handled properly. We couldn't have asked for a smoother process! Thank you, ACG!
