Testimonials !!
Linda Pfingst was an invaluable resource to the New Jersey Conference of Mayors
during my time as President.  Right from the start, Linda impressed us with her thorough,
efficient, professional manner - an approach that not only inspired confidence, but
generated the results we were looking for.  She is exceedingly knowledgeable of the laws
that apply to nonprofit organizations and incredibly easy to work with.  Linda’s attention
to details and ability to prioritize NJCM’s various financial projects is unsurpassed.  I can
say that it was a truly agreeable experience collaborating with Linda. I would
recommend her to any organization that wants results they can see!

I just wanted to let everyone know that the Coalition has been approved by the IRS as a 501c3
organization.  The application package was very large and took a lot of time to put together.  Our
CPA, Linda Pfingst did an outstanding job. She deserves a big thank you from everyone.  Without her
we could not have done it!  She donated countless hours to getting this application completed and
approved.  She believes in what we do and apparently so does the IRS.  This ruling will now allow us to
accept large donations from corporate and private endowment sponsors to build on our fledgling
programs such as our Police Leadership Institute for Accreditation Managers, a model written
directive system that is compliant with the NJSACOP's, CALEA's Recognition standards and AG
guidelines (for small agencies), and supplementing local agencies with capitol who cannot otherwise
afford accreditation.  This is a great day for law enforcement accreditation in New Jersey!

Linda has been an invaluable resource to our organization since 1994. I know that we are following
the laws that apply to nonprofit organizations and that our funds are being handled properly. Even
more importantly, I know that I can count on her to alert us to changes in our financial status, not just
from day to day or even year to year, but over the long term. Our organization never embarks on a
project with long range financial implications without getting her input. Linda manages our funds
carefully, making sure that we are getting the best rates on our reserve funds, but never risking our
principal. Linda has saved me enormous amounts of time by using past information about our spending
habits in order to help develop our annual budget. In addition to having an outstanding understanding
of the financial underpinnings of our organization, Linda is just plain likeable!

Linda’s expertise and experience with non-profit organizations made the filing of our 1023
application a much easier task.  Her close attention to each detail of the required and supplemental
documents ensured that our application would process smoothly and in a timely manner. Linda
understood how important receiving tax exempt status was to the success of our rabbit rescue
organization and how anxiously we were awaiting word. The first to congratulate and inform us that
the 501 c 3 status had been granted, Linda is a genuine pleasure to work with!

Financial accountability and integrity are one of the guiding principles of New Jersey Reads.  As a
new statewide nonprofit, Linda’s expertise has ensured that our filings and audits are accurate and
submitted on-time, which is key to the operation and ongoing success of any nonprofit.  The breadth
and depth of her expertise is always a delight, great surprise and reassuring.  She’s always reading
the latest in accounting and tax practices, networking with experts and sharing nuggets – in plain,
easy-to-understand terms.  For a non-financial person, she makes finances fun and, as a bonus, she
strengthens my leadership abilities in managing a growing organization.

Whiskers Rescue was incorporated in 2001. After years of searching for an accountant with  excellent
knowledge of non profits, fair prices, and a willingness to work with small organizations we were
lucky enough to find Linda Pfingst. She has been our organization's accountant as well as our
personal accountant now for several years and we have had nothing but wonderful experiences.
Thanks to her knowledge we have been able to grow Whiskers Rescue and in the process provide the
invaluable service of trap, neuter, return for both the feral cat population and the members of our
community looking for an alternative to euthanasia. Linda has been instrumental in making this
possible.

I have been active in a finance role for the International Ombudsman Association (and its
predecessor, The Ombudsman Association),  for the pleasure of working with you for five of those six
years. I am pleased to have this opportunity to thank you for the excellent service you have provided
to our association during this period. You have always prepared your reports accurately and on time
and have service you have provided to our association during this period. You have always prepared
your reports accurately and on time and have benefited our organization. For example, your budget
suggestions have led to a more accurate and easier to understand budget for our Board. Finances are
one of the least exciting and least understood topics to some of our Board members, but, now, many
are asking questions and have become fully engaged when finances are discussed. Equally important,
you have become a part of our team and you have made my job much easier and enjoyable knowing
that I can always count on you.


Thank you,
