The Challenge
You're Running a State Organization. Not an Accounting Department.
You're an executive director or state adviser wearing ten different hats. Accounting shouldn't be one of them.
Between chapter billing, grant tracking, 990 filings, payroll for contractors, and monthly board reporting — the financial side of running a CTSO is a full-time job. But you don't have a full-time accountant.
Most accounting firms don't understand CTSOs. They don't know what HOSA CMS is, they've never managed chapter dues, and they need to be taught your world before they can help.
You need a partner who already gets it — so you can focus on your students and your mission.

Client Stories
What CTSO Leaders Are Saying
Blackpoint has brought us into the 21st century with their accounting services. Integrity, efficiency, and dedication are the qualities they bring to their customers. They're quick to respond, proactive in solving problems, and always willing to go the extra mile. It is a joy to have them on our team — they've truly become a trusted partner to Cal-HOSA.
We started working with Blackpoint this year, and it's been a fantastic experience. Our accountant has been organized, responsive, and extremely helpful. He quickly learned the unique needs of our nonprofit and made sure everything stayed on track financially. He's helped us manage grants, prepare for events, and keep clear, accurate records. Blackpoint has been a huge asset to Utah FCCLA.

A Form 990-N for a small nonprofit (receipts normally $50K or less) is free with any other engagement, or starts at $250 on its own.

We use QuickBooks Online as our primary platform. For CTSOs, we ensure full reconciliation between QuickBooks and your membership/registration systems like HOSA CMS.
