Built for nonprofit accounting

Generic bookkeeping misses the operating story.

Industry-specific accounting starts with the questions leaders actually face, then builds the chart of accounts, close, reporting, and meetings around those decisions.

Donation systems and QuickBooks

Keep donor records, deposits, restrictions, and accounting aligned.

Fundraising platforms are designed for donors and campaigns; QuickBooks is designed for the general ledger. We map donation batches, funds, campaigns, restrictions, merchant fees, refunds, pledges, and bank deposits so gross gifts and net cash reconcile without turning the accounting file into a donor database.

Common questions

Do you handle nonprofit tax and state filings?

Yes. We support Form 990, California Form 199, RRF-1, related compliance, and nonprofit formations, coordinated with the accounting work from beginning to end.

Do we have to change software?

Not automatically. We first evaluate the current system, reporting needs, data quality, and control gaps. A change should solve a real problem, not create a new one.

Can you clean up prior periods?

Historical cleanup can be scoped as an implementation project before the recurring accounting rhythm begins.
