Associations

We have your Interests in Mind

Trade and professional associations organized under IRS Code Section 501(c) (6) represent and promote the interests of an entire industry or profession. To maintain their tax-exempt status they must follow complex legal and administrative requirements. They are subject to intense public and political scrutiny and their financial statements must meet the highest standards.

Clark Nuber’s long record of service to associations makes us the perfect choice for the tax, audit and financial analysis needs of these important organizations. In addition to these services, our experts can help you discover the right kinds of financial information to use in communicating your effectiveness to members and the public at large.

Our industry-specific services to trade and professional associations include:

  • The formation of 501(c)(3) not-for-profit entities for member education or other charitable purposes.
  • Advising associations on how to form Political Action Committees for lobbying or other political activity while maintaining tax-exempt status.
  • Minimizing unrelated business income from group retro plans, advertising and sponsorships.
