Your charity has enough to worry about. Your books shouldn't be one of them.

When transactions pile up, reports are hard to understand, and deadlines approach, bookkeeping starts taking time away from the work that matters most your mission.

Does this sound familiar?

    Our books are months behind.

    Receipts pile up and it becomes difficult to know where things stand.

  • Icon of a document with lines of text and a pen

    I don't know whether these numbers are right.

    Reports are confusing and leadership is unsure what the numbers are telling them.

  • Outline icon of two people standing side by side.

    The board is asking questions I can't easily answer.

    The information needed is not always readily available.

  • Icon of a handbag with a luggage tag attached.

    T3010 season becomes a scramble every year.

    Gathering the information needed for filing takes more time than expected.

  • Simple clock showing 3:00.

    I'm spending too much time trying to sort this out myself.

    Time spent fixing bookkeeping is time taken away from programs and the organization's mission.

  • Running a charity already carries enough responsibility. Your bookkeeping should give you clarity, not create another source of stress.

Why charity bookkeeping is different

Charities have financial realities that differ from ordinary businesses.

Restricted funds and donations

Money given for a specific purpose is tracked separately from general funds, and reported that way.

Reporting expectations

Funders, donors and members expect a clear picture of where money came from and how it was used.

Board oversight

Boards need statements they can read and act on, not just a set of numbers.

Annual filing requirements

Registered charities have filing obligations each year that ordinary businesses do not.
