What this includes

The monthly finance work that keeps everything else calmer.

Built around the practical jobs nonprofit teams need done consistently, without turning every question into a separate project.

01

Monthly bookkeeping

Transactions coded, accounts reconciled, and books closed on a predictable monthly rhythm.

Current books
02

Reconciliations

Bank accounts, credit cards, payment processors, and revenue deposits matched back to clean books.

No loose ends
03

Restricted fund tracking

Restricted, unrestricted, program, and project funds separated clearly so reports match the real commitments.

Clear balances
04

Cleanup and catch-up

Behind months cleaned up, duplicate accounts untangled, and unclear balances investigated before they become year-end problems.

Back on track
05

Audit prep

PBC lists, supporting documents, reconciliations, and explanations organized before audit season becomes urgent.

Audit-ready
06

GST/HST & T4A processing

GST/HST returns filed on schedule, and T4A slips prepared and submitted for contractors and honoraria payments.

CRA-ready

What it looks like

Books that separate every fund clearly.

For nonprofits, one bank balance often hides several different pools of money. Restricted, unrestricted, program, and capital funds need to stay separated so reports match the real commitments, not just the bank feed.

You might need this if

The books are technically there, but still hard to trust.

1

Your books are always a few weeks or months behind.

2

Restricted fund balances are hard to explain clearly.

3

Your board asks for numbers before the month is properly closed.

4

Audit prep depends on chasing files across inboxes and folders.

5

Year-end cleanup has become an annual emergency.

6

Reports depend on spreadsheets that only one person understands.

How it works

A simple rhythm from review to monthly close.

01

Review the setup

We look at your chart of accounts, bank feeds, fund structure, and current close process.

02

Clean the rhythm

We fix the places where bookkeeping is not lining up, then set the monthly checklist.

03

Close every month

You get current books, reconciliations complete, funds separated clearly, and a plain-English close note.

Outcome Month-end closes faster

Current books make board reporting, cash checks, and funding conversations easier.

Outcome Funds are easy to explain

Restricted and unrestricted balances stay separated, ready for audit or board questions.

Outcome Year-end feels lighter

Reconciliations, cleanup, and audit prep reduce the annual scramble.
