Accounting and
CFO-level services.
Accounting, board reporting, forecasting, and compliance, delivered by one team that owns the whole column, not four vendors who each see a slice of it.
From audit-ready books to CFO-level guidance for your board.

Audit-ready accounting
When the close takes weeks, and nobody fully trusts the number until it’s stale.
We handle daily transaction processing, bank reconciliation, and a disciplined month-end close, to GASB standards where you report as a governmental entity and FASB standards where you do not, with a documented preparer/reviewer protocol and every entry reviewed by a dedicated accountant. This is the foundation everything above it depends on.
- Daily transaction processing
- Bank reconciliation
- Grant and restricted-fund accounting
- Month-end close and controls
- Payroll support
Monthly board financial packages
When the board asks a question the report can’t answer.
Not a KPI screen. The full board-ready package: GASB or FASB statements, budget-to-actual on every line, the KPIs your board and authorizer actually watch, and a written recommendation on what to do next. Segmented to the basis you report on: Red Book funds, Form 990 functional expense, or ASC 958 net asset classes.
- Full GASB and FASB statements
- Budget-to-actual, every line
- Board-legible KPIs
- Written recommendation
- Authorizer-ready format
The month.
In perspective.
Budgeting and forecasting
When “next year” is a guess, not a model.
We lead the board-adopted annual budget and build multi-year projections and scenario models, driven by whatever actually moves your revenue, whether that is enrollment and FEFP, tuition and vouchers, the grant calendar, or case volume, so the board can pressure-test a decision before it becomes a commitment, and we flag the board the moment spending drifts from plan.
- Annual budget development
- Multi-year and scenario modeling
- Cash-flow forecasting
- Variance analysis and amendments
What if enrollment changes?
Read revenue, staffing and cash together before adjusting the budget.
Compliance and risk management
When compliance is a scramble every audit season.
Built on nearly two decades of GASB and FASB experience, we track filing deadlines, maintain audit-ready workpapers year-round, and serve as the single point of contact for your external auditor, so audit season starts from reconciled books, not a scramble.
- Audit-ready workpapers
- Auditor liaison
- Filing-deadline tracking
- GASB, FASB and grant compliance
