Nonprofit organizations have a profound impact on the communities in which they serve and the importance of having these organizations in our communities cannot be stressed enough. In Northeast Iowa alone, there are nonprofits that provide life-saving and life-changing services on a daily basis. Since these organizations are donor-funded and exempt from paying income tax, they have a fiduciary duty to fulfill their missions and meet requirements set by their contributors and governmental agencies. Hacker Nelson, & Co. has extensive experience working with nonprofits to meet these requirements so that they can focus on what is most important to them - helping others.
Having a strong retail presence is important for small towns, such as Decorah, and is a major reason for our community being nationally recognized as a destination location.

Whether it be something as simple as bookkeeping or more complex such as developing a growth strategy, we at Hacker Nelson, & Co. gladly extend our services to you and your business so that we might help you continue to operate and even thrive in your local economy.
