Transitional Services of New York for Long Island, Inc. and Haven House/Bridges, Inc. began working with Cerini & Associates LLP, in 2023. The transition was seamless to say the least. We are provided with support and expertise throughout the year; a level of service not often achieved in today’s climate. Their understanding of the non-profit industry provides us with confidence, as well as, resources directly related to our day-to-day operations. We look forward to continuing the partnership for years to come.
Oakcliff Sailing (like many non-profits) is unique. Cerini slows down, listens and adapts to our needs.
As a Training and Coaching center Oakcliff Sailing doesn’t just train on the water, we also train in the boat shop and in the front office. Cerini’s seminars are helpful to management and students.
Cerini has been serving our congregation for many years, and we have come to rely on them for high quality work combined with friendly support. Whenever we need assistance, they are always readily available to advise us on the appropriate tax and accounting treatment. Their team of dedicated, knowledgeable and professional staff is a real credit to the firm.
The Art League of Long Island truly appreciates their working relationship with Cerini & Associates. We have come to lean on their team not only for our regular audits and reviews, but also for assistance with general tax requests, and complicated accounting and bookkeeping questions. Their staff is always available for a quick call to help.
Last year, the Art League of Long Island faced a tremendous challenge in the flooding of our building, and we once again reached out to the team at Cerini & Associates for assistance - this time with shredding our older files. They were more than happy to assist. It's just one more way they are supportive of the non-profits with which they work.
They truly "get it" when it comes to working with non-profits, and we could not be happier with their services.
Cerini & Associates are more than just an auditing firm for our organization. They have been exceptional with information and suggestions. All of the partners and staff are very knowledgeable in their fields and have even gone the extra mile in learning our state specific reporting requirements. Our staff feel at ease when working with this team. I am thoroughly impressed with their laid back yet professionalism approach, communication forum and response timeliness. It has been refreshing working with this organization as they have expressed a mutual interest in our work and accounting practices.
Leading Edge has been partnering with Cerini and Associates to conduct its annual independent audit since 2018.

The whole team is smart, efficient and a pleasure to work with -- we highly recommend them!
We are a relatively new client of Cerini’s, but, though we are not a particularly large entity, the level of interest and professionalism they have shown to our organization has been so high right from the start that it feels as if we have been a client of theirs for many years. This is but one factor among many that has already convinced us that Cerini is the right firm for us as we continue to grow. Their expertise in dealing with non-profit organizations has proven extremely helpful to us, and they have demonstrated strong analytical skills in addressing typical, as well as complex, transactions. They are unusually responsive to all of our needs and we look forward to many years of working with them.
After 20 plus years in the Defense Industry, I switched gears and joined a not-for-profit Home Healthcare company. I was expecting some growing pains as I changed industries, especially since it was year-end and just weeks away from the annual audit. It was a wonderful surprise when I met with the Cerini team and learned of their in-depth knowledge of our company.
Their experience and expertise were great assets and allowed for a much smoother transition than I ever expected. Now, several years later, the firm continues to be a partner in our reporting success and a valuable resource as we navigate through the uncertain times.

Thank you, partners!
We began working with Cerini in 2016. Our relationship partner is Matthew Burke. Matthew and his associates provide exceptional service and guidance. The transition to the firm was fast and seamless. They quickly learned our business, were always available to answer questions, understood our unique requirements, helped us streamline our reporting, ensured all of our processes and reports complied with new GAAP requirements, and supported us in completing our annual review more efficiently than ever before, even during a COVID year. In addition, Matthew and his team work closely with our Controller and Executive Director each year to present our financial results to our Board in a clear and concise manner. We recommend Cerini without any hesitation.

We are grateful for our alliance with Cerini & Associates and the impact their dedication to increasing literacy has made on the community. Employees and clients should feel gratified that they are putting books in the hands of underprivileged children across New York, and that they are single-handedly helping to eradicate illiteracy.

The firm is also a resource year-round – providing guidance for new accounting pronouncements, offering seminars & training sessions, and brainstorming options to handle unique transactions that occur.
