Session Overview
Our organization is small but growing. We received an Illinois State grant to develop an incubator for small, micro level, construction entrepreneurs. We have purchased the building in 2020 and we are in construction phase.
Our accounting, tax and financial policies, procedures and reports must meet GATA Standards. We need to complete 2020 Quickbooks reconciliation and 990's.
