A continuous financial discipline.
We maintain your general ledger, track donor restrictions under FASB ASC 958, and prepare financial statements on a monthly cycle. Your board receives reconciled, GAAP-compliant numbers timed to its meeting calendar, with functional expense reporting aligned to Form 990 categories from the start.
The gap between current books & useful reports.
Board members expect financial reports that let them make decisions, not review history. What arrives too often is a package assembled the week before the meeting, built from a chart of accounts that does not map to functional expense categories, delivered too late for anyone to ask a meaningful follow-up before the vote.
The gap is almost always infrastructure. Without a consistent monthly close process and a chart of accounts aligned to how the organization actually needs to report, every board cycle becomes a scramble to reconstruct numbers rather than simply present them. Finance staff work hard against a structure that was never built for the reporting now being asked of it. Funders have raised the stakes further: program officers now ask for functional expense breakdowns as part of grant reporting, not just at audit time.
Monthly close.
Reconciled books delivered on a predictable monthly cycle. Bank accounts, credit cards, and balances with donor restrictions are reconciled consistently, catching discrepancies while they are still easy to trace rather than discovering them at year-end.
Contributions & donor restrictions
Contributions recorded and classified with or without donor restrictions under FASB ASC 958. Donor and grant restrictions are reflected accurately from the moment a gift is recorded, so the distinction between available operating funds and dollars held under donor restrictions is always clear.
Financial statements.
Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Activities, and Statement of Functional Expenses, prepared in GAAP-compliant form. Each statement is structured to align with Form 990 reporting categories from the start, eliminating the year-end reclassification exercise that erodes board confidence.
Board package preparation.
Financial reports formatted for how your board actually reviews numbers. Not a raw software export, but a package with the narrative context and visual structure a board needs to act on the information, delivered with enough lead time for genuine review before the meeting.
How the monthly cycle works.
01
Close calendar.
We establish a monthly close timeline aligned to when management and your board need financial information, so reports are never assembled under last-minute pressure.
02
Reconciliation.
Bank, credit card, and net asset reconciliations are completed on a consistent monthly cycle.
03
Statement preparation.
The three core financial statements are prepared and internally reviewed before board distribution.
04
Board package assembly.
Reports are formatted into a board-ready package with the context and structure your board needs.
05
Ongoing refinement
We adjust the reporting format and cadence as your board’s needs evolve, and revisit the format when new board members or committee leadership changes.
Built backward from Form 990.
Every chart of accounts we build starts with the end reporting requirement in mind. Form 990 functional expense categories, funder-required program-versus-administrative breakdowns, and FASB ASC 958 net asset classification are designed into the accounting structure in the first month of an engagement. Year-end becomes a reporting exercise instead of a reclassification project.
That design work is what separates this from a generalist bookkeeping service. A generalist can reconcile accounts and produce a trial balance. Mapping that trial balance correctly to the Statement of Functional Expenses categories that Form 990 requires, and that funders increasingly expect broken out, requires nonprofit-specific accounting knowledge most generalist providers do not maintain as a core competency.
