Specialized Bookkeeping For Growing Nonprofits
We help nonprofit leaders understand their numbers, strengthen internal controls, and confidently report to their boards.
Dialed-in. Creative.
Real.
Flexible.
Nonprofit Finances Are Different
You don’t just need clean books.
You need:
Clear separation of restricted and unrestricted funds
Accurate program-level reporting
Budget-to-actual comparisons that mean something
Clean audit trails for grant funding
Reports that your board can actually understand
Most bookkeeping firms treat nonprofits like small businesses.
But nonprofits operate under a different level of accountability - to donors, to grantors, to the public, and to the communities they serve.
When your financial systems aren’t built for that reality, growth becomes risky instead of sustainable.
Financial Systems Built for Nonprofits
We don’t just “keep the books.”
We build financial infrastructure that supports your mission, protects your organization, and gives your leadership team clarity.
When your accounting is structured correctly, you gain:
👍Confidence in how restricted funds are tracked
👍Clear budget-to-actual reporting by program
👍Financial statements your board can actually understand

Your numbers should strengthen your mission, not create uncertainty around it.

MEET THE FOUNDER
Hey, I'm Emily!
I’ve spent the last ten years working in the accounting field, building deep expertise in QuickBooks Online and the systems that support strong financial management. During that time, the accounting landscape has evolved significantly, with new integrations, automation tools, and technology that allow organizations to operate more efficiently and with greater clarity.
My focus is helping nonprofit leaders implement financial systems that are accurate, streamlined, and built for accountability. From fund tracking to board reporting, I believe your numbers should support your mission, not complicate it.
I care deeply about helping organizations strengthen their financial foundations so leadership teams can make informed decisions with confidence.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three children, and being outdoors whenever possible. I’m grateful to do work that supports mission-driven organizations making a meaningful impact in their communities.

Our Work
How We Deliver Results
Listen & Learn
Every nonprofit is different.
We begin by learning your mission, programs, funding sources, reporting requirements, and internal processes. We take time to understand how money flows through your organization, from grants and donations to program expenses and payroll.
Before we touch your books, we make sure we fully understand your reality.
Clean & Organize
Next, we bring structure and clarity to your financial systems.
This includes:
Adding your approved budget to your accounting software
Aligning your chart of accounts with your programs and reporting needs
Cleaning up restricted and unrestricted fund tracking
Reconciling and correcting prior-period discrepancies (if needed)
Our goal is to ensure your books reflect how your organization actually operates, not just a generic accounting template.
Connect & Automate
Once your foundation is solid, we transition into consistent monthly support.
Each month includes:
Accurate transaction categorization
Reconciliations of all accounts
Program-level budget-to-actual reporting
Clear financial statements
A dedicated financial review meeting
You’ll know where your organization stands, not just at year-end, but every month.
Review & Support
Financial stewardship is ongoing.
We meet regularly to review your reports, answer questions, and provide guidance as your organization grows. Whether you’re preparing for a board meeting, applying for grants, or evaluating a new initiative, we’re here to ensure your numbers support confident decision-making.
Because strong financial systems don’t just track the past, they help shape the future.
