Testimonials

I was introduced to M.A.Y Consulting PLLC through a recommendation from an accountant at a friend’s company, and I am incredibly grateful for the referral. From the very beginning, their professionalism in handling nonprofit organization applications stood out. Their expertise and clear guidance reassured us that we were in good hands, which led us to hire them for our non-profit registration.

As newcomers to the nonprofit sector, we initially had many uncertainties and lacked knowledge about the necessary procedures. M.A.Y Consulting not only handled the registration process but also provided us with invaluable guidance on nonprofit regulations, government requirements, and future development. They took the time to explain compliance matters, tax-exempt status, and best practices for maintaining a nonprofit organization. Their proactive approach helped us understand key aspects we hadn’t even considered, ensuring that we were well-prepared for the journey ahead.

One of the most remarkable aspects of working with M.A.Y Consulting was their patience and dedication to client service. Since we are located in different states, we had concerns about communication and coordination. However, despite the time difference, they always responded to our inquiries promptly, thoroughly, and with great attention to detail. No matter how many questions we had, they patiently provided clear explanations and practical solutions. Their responsiveness and willingl=ness to assist at any time truly set them apart.

May helped my partner and me create a nonprofit organization to achieve our goal. The process was smooth as silk. From beginning to end, May told us exactly what we needed to provide and how to prepare all the required documents. Everything was done in a very professional manner. Within two months, we had completed everything and received our determination letter. Oh, by the way, their fee is more than fair compared to other offices. Two thumbs up!

Highly recommend for any non for profit who is looking for professional tax services!

Christine Wu, Board of Director

CSSA at UC San Diego

M.A.Y Consulting has been absolutely exceptional in helping me establish my nonprofit organization. Their services went far beyond just filing paperwork — they helped draft our bylaws, guided me through the 501(c)(3) tax-exempt application, and provided insightful, well-grounded accounting advice, including pros and cons of using a DAF. They also offered thoughtful recommendations on internal governance and compliance structures.

As someone who has worked in the nonprofit and philanthropy sector for over 20 years, I was deeply impressed by their level of expertise, professionalism, and most importantly, their strong ethical standards. Their responsiveness — even on weekends and evenings — made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend M.A.Y Consulting to anyone looking to start or strengthen a nonprofit organization. I am truly grateful for their partnership.
