The Challenge

The firm needed help with:

  • Fund Misclassification: Restricted, unrestricted, and endowments were intermingled.
  • Delayed 990 Filings: Manual bookkeeping slowed tax season.
  • Program Oversight: Clients couldn’t track how grants were spent per initiative.

Our Solution

We created nonprofit-specific workflows:

Fund & Budget Tracking

  • Set up class-based accounting for each program, campaign, and grant.
  • Delivered monthly variance reports and compliance trackers.

Tax & Audit Readiness

  • Prepared Form 990 support packages and Schedule B donor tracking.
  • Delivered audit-ready books with reconciliations and footnotes.

The Results

After just six months of working with us, the business experienced tangible improvements:

Metric Before After
Fund Misclassification High Audit Risk 100% Properly Segregated
Program Oversight Minimal Budget vs. Actual by Program
CPA Time on Tax Prep 10+ Hours/Filey Less than 2 Hours (Prepped in Advance)

Key Takeaways

  • Form 990 prep is streamlined when books are clean and audit-ready.
  • CPA firms can expand their nonprofit book without growing headcount.
