Nonprofit Accounting & Grant Reporting
Empowering executive directors and boards with audit-proof fund accounting, restricted asset tracking, foundation grant compliance, and clean Form 990 filings.
Identify Your Exact Financial Operating Bottleneck
Are you scaling commercial operations or stewarding public/fiduciary trust? Select your operating reality below to identify your immediate resolution path:
Track A: Founders & Growth CEOs
When top-line revenue is compounding, but real-time cash clarity lags behind critical operational decisions:
“Profitable on paper, but cash in the bank feels uncomfortably tight.”
“Month-end close takes weeks, leaving you with stale data to make critical hires.”
“Outgrowing your generic bookkeeper; nobody is forecasting forward runway.”
Track B: Nonprofit Executive Directors
When fiduciary accountability, grant tracking, and board oversight demand audit-proof fund transparency:
“Dreading the next board meeting due to confusing restricted-fund tracking.”
“Audit-readiness panic whenever grant reporting deadlines loom.”
“Manual reconciliations eating up staff hours that belong in programs.”
The Core Service Tiers
See how specialized fund accounting protects your 501(c)(3) charter and satisfies grantor compliance.
Foundation
- ✓ Multi-Class Fund Accounting (ASC 958): Full separation of net assets with donor restrictions (purpose/time) vs. without restriction.
- ✓ Monthly Grant Reconciliation & Drawdowns: Expense allocation to grant categories matching contractual budgets, eliminating clawback risk.
- ✓ 8–10 Day Board-Ready Close: Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Activities, and Functional Expenses by program vs. admin.
- ✓ Form 990 Tax Prep Workpapers: Complete schedules and audit-ready trial balance prepared directly for your external 990 filer.
- ✓ Uniform Guidance Compliance: Adherence to 2 CFR 200 standards for federal, state, and foundation grant awards.
Replaces grant clawback risks, board meeting panic over confusing restricted balances, commercial bookkeepers who don't understand fund accounting, and audit findings that damage reputation.
Growth
