Bee Compliance was launched in April 2020, with the goal of providing accessible, client focused compliance services to democratic and progressive organizations and candidates. We understand that every organization and campaign is different, and we aim to provide a tailored and comprehensive compliance experience to each of our clients—which means transparency, ample review times, and “reconciled to the penny” reports. We offer a wide range of services including drafting, reviewing, and filing required campaign finance reports with relevant regulatory bodies (FEC, Secretary of State, etc.), as well as basic accounting and bookkeeping services.
