Outsourced finance teams for founder-led nonprofits.
Grant tracking and transparent reporting for boards and donors. Founder’s Accounting™ supports founder-led nonprofits with $1M to $100M in revenue.
Donors and boards expect transparency. Grants expect precision.
Nonprofits answer to more stakeholders than most businesses: boards, donors, grantmakers and regulators. Each expects clear, accurate reporting, and many grants restrict how funds can be spent.
Tracking restricted and unrestricted funds, reporting to funders on time and preparing for audits and annual filings takes discipline that small finance teams struggle to maintain, especially while the organization’s leaders are focused on the mission.
What it costs you
Grant compliance risk
Misallocated restricted funds can put future funding at risk.
Late funder reports

Questions? Answers.
Do you prepare our annual filings?
Your CPA prepares your annual filings. Your team keeps the records and statements your CPA needs.
Can you help us prepare for an audit?
Yes. Tier 2 and Tier 3 include controller oversight, and an Audit-Ready Books Rebuild can bring records up to standard first.

Security is built into how we work. Your financial data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is limited to the people who need it and protected with multi-factor authentication, and every team member is bound by confidentiality agreements. Bank account access is granted only to authorized team members, only with your approval, and removed as soon as it’s no longer needed. Every platform we use, and every tool that connects to your systems, is held to high security standards.
