Accounting and Financial & Operational Consulting
for Non Profit Organizations |
Are you getting timely and accurate financial statements and reports you and your Board of Directors can actually understand? Do you monitor spending and expenses against your budget? Are you using funds that have been given to you, as they were intended by the donor? Do you file all of the required state and federal reports and tax returns on a timely basis?
If you are the leader of a non profit organization, I'm sure you know that in todays' economy, fund raising is extrememly difficult. Like you, I have held poistions such as Executive Director, CFO and VP of Operations for non profit ministries. I have been the chief fund-rasiser. I have also looked within the organizations I have been repsonsible for, to find any added expense that I could eliminate. Sometimes that means making very difficult decisions, particulary when you see the need to reduce the number of staff. It is difficult to reduce staff while maintaining or even improving the level or service and productively. However, outsourcing your accounting services might be an area where you can save money while improving the flow of information and confidence in your leadership and your organization.
One of the ways that I can help you is by providing professional accounting/bookkeeping services at a very low, fixed, monthly fee. Nonprofit organizations who ask for donations and rely on donations for their support, owe a duty to their donors, to properly account for the donations and use those donations wisely. I believe that as your Board and donors receive timely and accurate financial information, they will become more confident in the leadership and direction of the organization, and will be more willing to increase their level of support.
One website that specilizes in helping non profit organizations improve their internal operations says this:
"Today, many non profit organizations are moving toward outsourcing their accounting services. There are
five primary reasons why non profit organizations should consider outsourcing their finance and accounting
functions:
1. outsourcing may cost less than internal staffing
2. outsourcing can provide a higher level of expertise
3. outsourcing may result in more timely, accurate, and meaningful financial information
4. outsourcing generally improves business processes and controls
5. outsourcing often eliminates risks asscociated with poor internal hires"
