Integrated Financial Services

With the requirements of grant reporting, programmatic evaluation, fundraising and social enterprise management, the design and maintenance of nonprofit accounting systems is complex. Our approach is unique: we work with clients to develop integrated systems that satisfy the competing demands of compliance reporting, managerial analysis and fundraising efforts.

Accounting and Management Reporting System -
We design and modify accounting and budgeting systems to improve compliance reporting, fundraising efforts and managerial analysis. We work with your team to design effective systems for capturing and reporting meaningful financial data that can be used to strengthen your ability to manage the financial performance of your programmatic and social enterprise activities, as well as comply with the various legal, grant and investor-driven requirements.
Shared-Cost Accounting -
We design logical and effective systems for directly tracing and assigning shared costs to individual programs or even specific activities within each program, enabling sound analysis of the financial costs of various programmatic activities.
Financial Projections/Pro-formas -
Our dynamic, interactive models are unlike any others on the market and have consistently received praise from clients, investors and funders. We thoughtfully handle the complexities of the nonprofit operating environment, rather than forcing them into a for-profit model.
Social Enterprise Financial Modeling -
We design financial models that effectively capture the unique hybrid characteristics of social enterprises by:
- Capturing complex capital structures which can include combinations of subsidies, grants, donated equipment and infrastructure in addition to traditional debt and equity.
- Relating operating subsidies to social costs and social and environmental outcomes.
- Ensuring all costs related to social enterprise activities are accounted for.
- Properly accounting for cross-subsidization and other financial transfers between the social enterprise and related organizations.
Asset Management -
We design systems to help clients leverage their existing assets through proactive asset management and planning. We also ensure that infrastructure and equipment assets are inventoried and depreciation and replacement procedures are implemented.
Cash-flow Management -
Our cash-flow projections help managers maximize cash utilization and manage potential shortfalls by leveraging unused cash, delaying expenditures, obtaining short-term loans or advanced payments.

Our approach is unique: we work with clients to develop integrated systems that satisfy the competing demands of compliance reporting, managerial analysis and fundraising efforts:

Fundraising Efforts
- Budgets and other financial requirements for grant applications
- Pro-forma financial analysis for access to debt, equity, or venture philanthropy investments
Program and Social Enterprise Management
- Ongoing assessment of costs and revenues, and performance evaluation
- Predictive planning: financial projections, what-if analysis, quotation/pricing
- Asset leverage, management and planning
Compliance Reporting
- Grant reporting and budgeting
- Tax and legal reporting

Our integrated approach has grown out of our diverse professional experiences: our partners have developed, launched and managed social enterprises and nonprofit agencies and have consulted to hundreds of nonprofit organizations and social enterprises. We bring a unique functional experience and textured understanding of the nonprofit operating environment that is critical to the creation of sound financial systems, and which is difficult to find.
