Bio
Natalie Brenner
For nonprofit organizations, annual audit and tax time can be challenging and anxiety-producing. Often, nonprofit staff are overworked, overwhelmed and the looming audit and tax season can be a burdensome time. Over the three years that I worked with BPKZ, the support I received from all of the BPKZ folks, including Grant Tentis made the difficult audit time smooth, clear and as easy as it could possibly be. I greatly appreciated Grant's sense of humor, approachable manner and clear way of answering questions and explaining things. Grant went the extra mile to get to know my organization as well as get to know me as the organization's finance manager and truly cared about by my and the organization's well-being and success. I dare say that working with Grant and the rest of the BPKZ auditors and tax professionals made the audit process enjoyable.

Grant is very easy to work with and explains tax situations so they are easy to understand. He's the kind of guy I would have a beer with, and I appreciate his positive, laid-back attitude.
