Built around the operation
Start with how money moves through the business.
Nonprofits often need standard financial reports and funder-specific views at the same time. The bookkeeping process should capture restrictions, programs, approvals and eligible-cost support as transactions arrive.
The scope is shaped around the systems, accounts, deadlines and reporting decisions already in the business.
What the service can include
Records and reporting that fit the industry.
Grant and fund tracking
Separate material funding agreements, restrictions and reporting periods.
Program costs
Capture payroll, contractor and supplier costs by supported program.
Membership and donations
Organize receipts, deposits and platform records by revenue source.
Board reporting
Deliver a consistent operating, cash and obligation view.
Expense approvals
Keep authorization and supporting records attached to the workflow.
Year-end support
Prepare reconciliations and schedules for the external accountant or reviewer.
Local details belong in the workflow.
Ottawa organizations may receive federal, provincial, municipal, foundation and member funding. Each agreement can define different eligible costs and reporting evidence, so the source agreement remains the authority.
Bookkeeping organizes the evidence. Legal, tax and regulatory decisions remain with the appropriately qualified adviser.

What does the board receive?
