Attolero is Latin for “sustain” or “support”, and that is exactly what Robert Bales and his small team of professionals at Attolero aim to do for Charlotte nonprofits.  Founded in 2016 and serving nonprofits nation-wide, Attolero is excited to contribute right here in their hometown by partnering with SHARE Charlotte.

"Attolero is thrilled to team up with SHARE Charlotte -  we have a shared passion and mission for serving nonprofits, and we [Attolero] are excited to broaden our impact in the Charlotte nonprofit community," Bales announces.  “Together, we are going to bring more meaningful content to SHARE’s digital Nonprofit Bulletin Board, a private Facebook group where over 400 Mecklenburg County nonprofits are collaborating to share ideas, resources and needs across their organizations”.  

True to its name, Attolero provides supporting services to nonprofits so they can focus completely on serving their cause and pursuing their passions.  Attolero offers nonprofits a cloud based accounting, payroll, and tax support team at a price point well below traditional options.

Attolero’s business support services provide benefits at all levels of a nonprofit organization.  From nonprofit leadership to the staff and even volunteers, Attolero’s services can simplify and streamline much of an organization's financial functions. 

Attolero strives to build long-lasting relationships with their clients by providing impactful knowledge and value in their areas of expertise. SHARE Charlotte quickly observed their value firsthand during an initial conversation with Attolero. 

“Attolero was referred to us by a friend, and after sharing our challenges and needs as a small business nonprofit with Robert, I was so impressed with the solutions Attolero had to offer!” says Amy Jacobs, Executive Director of SHARE Charlotte. “I learned that not only could they save us money on our day-to-day needs, but they could help us streamline our invoicing process and complete our annual 990 by pulling data directly from the financials they help us manage.  This saves us a lot of time and energy, not having to outsource our financial needs to multiple suppliers.”

Neil Cottrell, President of The Joe Martin ALS Foundation, also has high praises to give and states that Attolero “has gone above and beyond my expectations. They understand that nonprofits need business solutions and accounting services at an affordable price. Attolero not only provides us quality accounting services, but also incredibly valuable advice and suggestions on how to improve operations and analytics. Robert Bales and the Attolero team are supportive, understanding and respond quickly to our calls for help.  I had several questions about the PPP application and with their help we were able to submit it early and successfully. I highly recommend Attolero!”
