How our services compare
Fiscal Administration
Fiscal Administration is an all-inclusive program designed for 501(c)(3) arts organizations. The company works directly with a dedicated administrator who handles all of the fiscal tasks including bookkeeping, financial reporting, payroll administration, receipt of income and payment of bills.
Fiscal Sponsorship
Fiscal Sponsorship offers individual artists and companies the legal and tax-exempt benefits of a 501(c)(3) organization without the challenges of incorporating. Providing fiduciary oversight and administrative services to build capacity of the project, Fiscal Sponsorship comes at a range of levels, and can be utilized by artists at all stages of their careers.
Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping helps artists build better financial practices and organizational systems by accurately recording and tracking all of their financial transactions. Our bookkeeping service can be customized for companies and individual artists with budgets of any size.
Pentacle’s Fiscal Services are supported, in part, by public funds from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. Pentacle receives private support for its Fiscal Services from the Howard Gilman Foundation, The New York Community Trust, The Hyde and Watson Foundation, The Jerome Robbins Foundation, and The Harkness Foundation for Dance.
