In the world of nonprofit accounting, the rewards often go far beyond a paycheck or a job title. They’re found in the moments of connection, the stories of impact, and the shared sense of purpose that drives YPTC staff to serve others. We asked our team: What is most rewarding about working with nonprofits? 

 

 “In such divisive times, I get to work with organizations and brave human beings that are making a positive difference all around the world. I am in awe of the work they do.” 

Leah Abraham, Staff Accountant 

 

“There’s something deeply fulfilling about waking up each day knowing your work helps others thrive. For me, working in the nonprofit sector isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. 

I’m inspired by the opportunity to support communities in meaningful ways. Whether it’s simplifying complex financial data for a board or helping a team navigate a challenging transition, I get to relieve some of the operational burdens so that nonprofits can stay focused on what matters most: their mission. 

It’s a joy to be part of something bigger than myself. Every conversation, every dashboard, every moment of clarity we create together is a step toward impact. I’m proud to lead with empathy, collaborate generously, and offer strategic guidance that empowers others to succeed. 

This is accounting with a purpose—where every number tells a story of impact, and every insight helps a mission move forward.” 

Aimee Pourciau, Director 

 

“Of course, there’s the obvious benefit making a meaningful difference and having a direct impact on our clients and, by extension, their missions, often in our local or regional area. That alone is incredibly fulfilling.  

Beyond that, it’s heartwarming to see how much our clients appreciate the support we provide, we truly do help them “sleep at night” as they navigate the unique challenges and complexities nonprofits often face. Many operate with smaller teams and fewer resources than their for-profit counterparts and it’s rewarding to see how the YPTC way and commitment to efficiency and exceptional training really shine. We’re able to deliver high-level service that fits within most budgets, helping these organizations thrive despite their constraints.” 

Brianna McGeorge, Associate 

 

 “The most rewarding part of working with nonprofits is knowing that I am supporting missions that matter and working alongside of individuals who are passionate and motivated.” 

Samantha Winkles, Associate

 

“Helping nonprofits streamline their processes which leads to cost savings as well as accurate and timely financial reporting.” 

Sophie Kariuki, Staff Accountant  

 

“I enjoy learning about my clients’ missions and how they are directly impacting the communities in which they work. It makes me happy knowing that I can play some small part in the important work they are doing.” 

Andy Witcher, Associate 

 

“What’s most rewarding about working with nonprofits is that you get to work alongside people who are smart enough to earn 10x what they do now, but they choose instead to make a difference. It’s equal parts humbling and inspiring, and I would not trade the experience for anything!” 

Daniel Tritch, Director 

 

“One of the most fulfilling parts of our work is knowing that our financial support empowers clients to stay focused on their mission. By handling the financial complexities, we help them confidently dedicate their energy to serving their communities.” 

Jennifer Wray, Associate 

 

“What’s most rewarding about working with nonprofits is knowing that your work directly supports meaningful change. Even though much of your role involves navigating complex budgets, federal guidelines, and grant allocations, you’re not just crunching numbers — you’re helping ensure that vital programs are properly funded and able to serve communities in need. There’s something deeply fulfilling about collaborating with passionate teams, solving challenges together, and seeing how even behind-the-scenes work contributes to a larger mission. Whether it’s making sure funds are allocated fairly or helping departments stay compliant, you’re part of something that truly matters.” 

Jessica Newsome, Associate
