Good intentions alone are not enough to keep your campaign compliant with South Carolina’s rigorous ethics laws.
Here’s how we help.
Campaign Ethics Consulting Services (CECS) is a financial consulting company specializing in the ever-changing fields of campaign reporting and fundraising in the state of South Carolina.
Leigh McGill, owner of CECS, has more than 20 years of experience filing and consulting on SC ethics reporting, along with 25 years in finance and bookkeeping. Leigh knows the rules inside and out, has an impressive roster of contacts, and knows who to call.
CECS offers a variety of tailored services to its clients, including Campaign Ethics Reporting and Campaign Fundraising.
Our financial consulting company can help you file the required quarterly candidate campaign disclosure reports and annual Statements of Economic Interest with the South Carolina Ethics Commission, as well as consult on the rules and regulations of the South Carolina Ethics Committees, and ensure your books are accurate and compliant for all campaign bank accounts.
