About 508 CPA

A CPA firm built for 508(c)(1)(A) ministries.

We exist to give ministry leaders on the 508 path straight answers, organized books, and the confidence to focus on the work they're called to.

Why we started

Leaders on the 508 path deserve a CPA who understands it.

Matthew Hale started 508 CPA after seeing how many ministry leaders were overwhelmed by the tax and accounting side of the 508 world, and how hard it was for them to find a CPA who understood the path they had chosen.

Too many were left to figure it out alone or paid for mistakes no one warned them about. 508 CPA was built to change that, with clear guidance from formation through everyday operations.
