Our Founding Story

Let us do your books so you can do your mission.

Origin: Alexander and Ian are fellow accountants and brothers-in-law. They started White Lotus together based on their passion for supporting nonprofits and making the world a better place. Alexander saw these organizations had complex accounting needs even if their budgets couldn’t justify Big Four prices.
Vision: Ian has always been a visionary who sees ideas where others may not. He is an attentive sounding board for Alexander and after countless late-night discussions between them, Ian and Alexander came to the powerful realization that lay the foundation for White Lotus.
Ideas: Nonprofit leaders possess an unparalleled passion for pursuing their missions, but many struggle with financial processes. At the same time, they all hated (and some were not good at) financial processes. They often lack the resources to hire top-notch finance professionals or implement the latest processes.
Family: It was time to build a family-run accounting business that would cater specifically to the needs of small to medium nonprofits. Together, they formalized in 2022 and started taking on clients right away.
Experts: Since then, Ian and Alexander have worked with dozens of organizations, managed millions of dollars, and helped all their clients achieve their full potential through their expert financial management.
Results: With an average 9.5 out of 10 satisfaction ratings, they must be doing something right!
Present: At White Lotus, we are more than just a business – we are a team of passionate, purpose-driven individuals who are committed to making a difference in the world.
