Accounting process optimization
Whatever your resources, we'll help you make the most of them.

Excel, spreadsheet, and database training
Might sound basic, but we think spreadsheet fluency is the number-one way for finance professionals to build self-sufficiency, automate their error-checking and learn to efficiently build custom solutions & tools.
- One-off trainings tailored to your specific needs (sending the same emails over and over? constantly consolidating CSVs from multiple systems?)
- Access our library of Excel resources
Grant management infrastructure
Every funder is different, but that doesn't mean you need to start from scratch on every grant. We’ll help you spend less time on grant maintenance and more time on grant outcomes by designing systems that anticipate & accommodate them all.
- Budget construction models that can support a range of funder formats & detail requests
- System guidance to help your teams track and manage grant spend with minimal effort
Audit, 990, and Form PC readiness
Year-end always comes sooner - and lasts longer - than you expect. We can help assemble and
cross-reference your audit PBCs to reduce the additional workload on your existing teams -
plus, we can give you a head-start on next year's audit by adjusting your day-to-day processes to anticipate the PBCs.
