Sound familiar?

These are the patterns we see in every first conversation with a new client.

Spreadsheet Dependency

Financial operations held together with pivot tables and the ED's personal laptop.

Perpetual Catch-Up

Three months behind on reconciliation. Always reacting, never planning.

990 Anxiety

Form 990 filed late with errors. State registrations lapsing. Constant stress.

Board Blindness

Board members can't get reliable numbers. Finance committee meetings are painful.

Grant Chaos

Restricted vs. unrestricted funds commingled. Grant reports take weeks.

Mission Drift

The ED spends 15+ hours per week on financial firefighting instead of saving animals.

Three tiers. One mission.

Each tier builds on the previous. Start where you are, scale as you grow.
