Our Services

A Unique Approach We know every PAC has its own style and identity. Consequently, we tailor our services to meet each client’s particular requirements. We’ll work with you to provide effective PAC management processes that will enable your PAC staff to focus on fundraising and candidate support selection.

At the same time we know that keeping the cost of these services in-line is important. As a consequence we provide consulting as part of the annual retainer. Our clients can take advantage of our knowledge of PAC rules and regulations without incurring additional costs.

Most importantly, we understand that building a lasting relationship with our clients benefits all parties. We invest a considerable amount of time understanding each client’s requirements and we accept every client with the anticipation that it will be a long term relationship. Our fee arrangement, our commitment to meeting client expectations and our guaranteed service are summed up in our slogan… PAC Services…more than an option, it’s the Solution!

FEC & State Compliance PAC Services prepares and files reports with the FEC and state election authorities according to established schedules. Reports are provided to clients for review in advance of filing deadlines. Once approved, PAC Services files reports electronically or provides instructions for paper filing as appropriate for the jurisdiction. PAC Services stands behind its reporting service and guarantees report deadlines are met.

Receipts All contributions made to the PAC will be properly processed and tracked to insure individual receipts limits are not exceeded. PAC Services manages all types of PAC receipts including payroll contributions, debit/credit card transactions, checks and cash. We can also provide a D.C. post office box into which your PAC contributions can be directed. If you choose this service it includes a regularly scheduled pick-up with subsequent processing of the PAC receipts.

Disbursements PAC Services will prepare disbursements as requested in accordance with your internal control procedures. Check requests are reviewed to ensure compliance with applicable federal or state campaign finance laws. We can either print the checks in our office and delivery them to you; or we can email a PDF file of the checks, which can be printed at your offices. All transactions are appropriately documented for audit purposes and recorded for disclosure to the proper authorities.

Bank Reconciliation It is important that the PAC bank account is reconciled on a monthly basis to ensure that all activity has been properly recorded in your PAC management software. One of the most critical aspects of PAC financial administration is ensuring your PACs bank balance reconciles to the available cash on the reports filed with the FEC. Our service includes regular bank reconciliations which are provided with the PACs compliance reports.

PAC Tax Form Preparation PAC Services can assist clients in the preparation of federal and state income tax returns. We also prepare IRS Forms 8871 and 8872 when required in connection with state registration and compliance reporting.

Management Reporting Standard monthly reports are provided including receipts and disbursement registers; outstanding receipts and disbursement registers; and bank reconciliation reports. In addition, we can prepare a variety of management reports to meet your PACs’ requirements. Our goal is to be sure you have the tools and knowledge that will enhance the overall effectiveness and standing of your government affairs program.

Corporate Political Contributions Corporate campaign contributions are prohibited to committees registered with the FEC. However, many states allow direct corporate contributions. PAC Services provides compliance for this type of political contribution. We ensure that all such transactions are allowable and are properly reported when required.

Custom Services No two PACs operate exactly the same way, and we understand that there may be a special requirement or procedure that hasn’t been identified in the services already mentioned. Once we know exactly what you need, we’ll promptly respond and explain how we can address it. Here are some examples of custom services:
