Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 Reconcilation decrepancy Late 2024 through mid-2025 was very challenging for our small non-profit. The winter was quite slow and we had multiple illness and surgeries to content with. Our talented team - teenagers to octogenarians, is now healthier and working well together. Some have stepped up as managers, and our elderly founders are able to delegate more. Our new senior bookkeeper helped complete this 990, and is preparing for the 2025 EOY. We anticipate completing the forms early. As planned we searched high and low for local non-profit tax accountants. The few we found were far away and too expensive for our tender budget.
