Non-Profit Bookkeeping
Every penny where it belongs, every day.
There are so many advantages to having the Royce CPA Firm as your outsourced accounting department. You have the assurance of knowing that an expert has classified items properly for the end of year tax process, which not only speeds up the process, but also allows you to use the information for grant writing. You have easily accessible accounting information that allows you to be more transparent with your donors. You now have a structured QuickBooks account to accurately track how much money your nonprofit has given and how much is stockpiled. And you’re getting help with your grants management, since it’s more cost-effective to have a CPA firm handling the quarterly tracking and reporting on federal grants.
Just like a regular business, a non-profit needs to keep track of its expenses. Hiring us for bookkeeping is often much more economical and efficient for a non-profit so that you can concentrate on doing some good! We generally use QuickBooks Online with our clients, but also use QuickBooks Desktop, as well.
Keeping good books is particularly essential for non-profits, because they need to stay in compliance with their standard chart of accounts. We can make sure that your books are ready for any examination and for tax preparation.
