Doing It All
Are you an Executive Director, a Treasurer, or an Operations Manager that is wearing many hats while fulfilling your role at your nonprofit? Bookkeeping is a time-consuming task that takes you away from focusing on furthering your mission. Or maybe you’re overwhelmed with wondering if your financial tracking is being done correctly – given that nonprofits have complicated reporting requirements – and just need someone’s support who has experience with nonprofit bookkeeping. My goal is to play a small part in the big impact your nonprofit is making by doing the bookkeeping so that you have time to do more good.
Restricted Funds and Functional Expenses
If you don’t track them correctly in your accounting software then you’re not getting an accurate financial picture and you’re not able to report on how money was spent. I can help you set up QuickBooks Online in a way that works for tracking restricted funds wholistically and individually by grant/fund, as well as categorizing transactions by function.
Systems and Processes
Audit. It can be a scary word if you don’t have good systems in place for managing the supporting documentation that you would need to provide for all of your financial transactions. I can help you with receipt management and digital documentation storage. And if you’d like some support refining your approvals processes and spending oversight I can help with that too!
A Little Bit About Me
I am reliable and client-centered; I really want to partner with you to help your nonprofit flourish!
I’ve always wanted a career that involved helping others, so when I found that I actually loved bookkeeping, it made sense that I was drawn to wanting to support nonprofits. When I’m not keeping the books, I love playing board games with my family, reading good fiction, and taking dance classes. I also have an apple orchard with my husband, and my experience working with the earth and hundreds of “newborn” apple trees makes it clear to me that a root system is a powerful thing. Its health is the key to a plant’s growth. It may be cheesy, but I also see the connection between healthy, accurate books and the ability for a nonprofit to grow, so when it came time to name my business, Root System Bookkeeping was the obvious choice (and it helps that my last name ties in nicely). I’m a QuickBooks ProAdvisor and member of the Digital Bookkeeper Association.
