Nonprofit Accounting Services: Tailored Accounting Solutions

Nonprofits must navigate fund accounting and adhere to strict donor rules, all while striving to achieve their mission. Our specialized nonprofit accounting services are designed to address the challenges and complexities nonprofits face, helping them stay compliant and efficient.

With a team of experienced accounting professionals, including Fractional Finance Directors, Outsourced Controllers, Outsourced Bookkeepers, and our AccountingIQ Software Solutions Practice, we provide tailored solutions to nonprofit accounting. Here’s how the fractional services offered by The A Team Cares can help:

Nonprofit Financial Reporting

Our nonprofit accounting services include comprehensive monthly oversight and closing procedures which provide nonprofits with a clear picture of their financial health. We provide a clear breakdown of all month-end closing responsibilities to facilitate a timely close, enabling financial transparency and accountability. These elements are critical for building and maintaining trust with donors and stakeholders.

Donor-Restricted Funds Management

We help organizations ensure that donor-restricted funds are tracked appropriately, honoring the donors’ intentions and maintaining compliance with financial regulations. 

With deep knowledge in accounting for non-profit organizations, we provide accurate information for every purpose, from board meeting presentations to audits.

Budgeting, Cash Flow Management, and Forecasting for Nonprofits

This trio of nonprofit accounting services enables nonprofits to plan for future expenses and revenues, anticipate and manage their cash flow to maintain operational stability, and establish strategic financial goals that align with their mission.

We tailor our nonprofit accounting services to the reporting needs of each client. Examples of reports we commonly produce are budget vs. actuals, cash flows and cash flow forecasts, and annual budgets.

Audit Assistance

We manage the audit process for our clients every step of the way, from the pre-audit engagement through to reviewing the audited financial statements. As the liaison and primary point of contact between the auditors and our clients, we complete each task in a timely manner.

In addition, we handle preparation of the Statement of Functional Expenses, the tracking of gala revenues and expenses, and the preparation of the schedule of temporarily restricted net assets.

Providing Tax-Ready Financials

Our Team prepares the reports and data necessary for tax accountants to make accurate and timely tax filings. The reports include financial statements, fixed asset schedules, prepaid expense schedules, and other supporting documentation. While our team does not file the tax returns itself, we work closely with tax accountants to ensure our clients have a seamless filing experience.

Accounting Software Solutions

Our AccountingIQ Specialists utilize accounting technology to streamline complex tasks in nonprofit accounting, automate routine operations, and enhance data accuracy. Our nonprofit outsourced accounting services enable our clients to make well-informed, timely business decisions.

Additionally, our software solutions are tailored to each client’s unique needs and include data migrations between our clients’ donation-tracking and accounting systems, implementations of receipt-tracking software such as Expensify or Fyle, conversions from QB Desktop to QB Online, accounts payable solutions, and more.

Investment Tracking Services

Our experienced Team will align transactions with financial records, reconciling for accuracy and transparency. Through our nonprofit outsourced accounting services, we help our clients manage their assets effectively and support strategic investment decisions necessary for financial stability and growth.

We also prepare roll-forward schedules that track changes in asset balances and income and expense events, to provide our Clients with accurate information.
