Non-Profit Accounting Services

Non-profit organizations require specialized accounting expertise that differs significantly from commercial business accounting. Our non-profit accounting services understand the unique challenges of fund accounting, donor restrictions, grant compliance, and regulatory reporting requirements that Canadian charitable organizations face. Whether you're a registered charity with CRA or a non-profit organization with provincial incorporation, we provide the specialized financial management expertise you need.

From Toronto-based charities to organizations operating across Canadian provinces, our non-profit accounting team delivers comprehensive fund accounting solutions. We help you maintain compliance with CRA disbursement quota requirements, manage restricted and unrestricted funds properly, prepare T3010 charity returns accurately, and demonstrate fiscal responsibility to donors, board members, and funding organizations. Our non-profit bookkeeping services ensure your financial operations support your mission while maintaining transparency and accountability.

We understand that every dollar in a non-profit organization represents trust placed in you by donors, funders, and communities. Our specialized non-profit accounting services help you honor that trust through proper fund management, transparent reporting, and compliance with all regulatory requirements. Whether you need help with fund accounting setup, grant management, board reporting, or CRA charity compliance, we provide the expertise Canadian non-profits need to focus on their mission while maintaining financial excellence.

Fund Accounting System Design & Implementation

Our non-profit accounting team designs and implements fund accounting systems tailored to your organization's specific structure and reporting requirements. We establish proper chart of accounts with fund segments, implement automated fund allocation processes, and create reporting structures that maintain complete separation between restricted and unrestricted funds while providing comprehensive consolidated views for board decision-making.

We help non-profit organizations track multiple funds simultaneously—general operating funds, donor-restricted funds, endowment funds, capital campaign funds, and project-specific grants. Each fund maintains its own balance sheet and income statement, ensuring complete transparency about resource allocation while enabling your organization to demonstrate proper stewardship to donors and regulatory bodies. Our fund accounting expertise helps Canadian non-profits maintain compliance with donor restrictions while maximizing operational flexibility.

Whether you're a small community organization with a few funds or a large charity with complex multi-fund structures, we implement scalable fund accounting systems that grow with your organization. Our non-profit accounting services include fund statement preparation, inter-fund transaction management, and consolidated financial reporting that provides both detail and big-picture views of your financial position.

Charitable Receipting & Donor Management

Proper charitable receipting is critical for CRA compliance and donor relations. Our non-profit accounting services include comprehensive receipting systems that generate CRA-compliant official donation receipts for all eligible contributions over $20. We maintain complete donor records, track receipt issuance, and ensure all receipts meet current CRA requirements for format, information, and timing.

We handle complex donation situations including in-kind donations, securities donations, flow-through shares, and other specialized gift types that require specific documentation and valuation procedures. Our non-profit receipting expertise helps maximize donor tax benefits while maintaining compliance with CRA regulations, reducing audit risk, and building donor confidence through professional financial management.

Beyond receipting, we help non-profits maintain donor databases that support stewardship and fundraising efforts. Our donor management systems track donation history, generate giving reports, and provide the financial insights needed for effective donor communication and relationship building. Canadian charitable organizations trust our expertise to maintain proper documentation while focusing on their mission and donor relationships.

Grant Management & Funding Compliance

Successful grant management requires meticulous tracking from application through final reporting. Our non-profit accounting team provides comprehensive grant accounting services that monitor eligibility requirements, allowable expenses, budget utilization, reporting deadlines, and audit trail requirements for each grant your organization receives. We implement systems that prevent common compliance issues while maximizing eligible reimbursement.

Each grant receives individual tracking with separate expense categorization, budget monitoring, and compliance reporting. We help you understand funder requirements, implement proper expense allocation systems, maintain supporting documentation, and prepare financial reports that satisfy funding organizations. Our grant management expertise helps Canadian non-profits maintain good standing with funders while demonstrating the fiscal responsibility that leads to renewed funding.

We prepare grant financial statements, progress reports, budget variance analysis, and final reimbursement claims that meet diverse funder requirements. From government grants to private foundation funding to corporate sponsorships, our non-profit accounting services ensure proper documentation and reporting that builds funder confidence and supports successful grant management. We help you demonstrate impact through responsible financial management while maintaining compliance with all funder requirements.

T3010 Charity Returns & CRA Compliance

Maintaining charitable status requires proper T3010 filing and compliance with CRA disbursement quota requirements. Our non-profit accounting services ensure your organization meets all CRA reporting obligations accurately and on time. We track disbursement quotas throughout the year, maintain proper documentation for all charitable activities, and prepare T3010 returns that accurately reflect your organization's operations while maximizing allowable expense categorization.

We help registered charities understand complex CRA requirements including acceptable disbursement calculations, qualifying and non-qualifying expenditures, political activity restrictions, and fundraising ratio limitations. Our CRA compliance expertise helps non-profits maintain their charitable status while maximizing resources available for their mission. We implement systems that track compliance metrics throughout the year, preventing year-end surprises and supporting strategic decision-making.

Beyond T3010 filings, we provide CRA audit support, prepare documentation for charity status applications, and help organizations understand provincial reporting requirements that may apply alongside federal obligations. Canadian charitable organizations rely on our expertise to navigate CRA regulations while focusing on their mission-critical work. Our non-profit accounting services ensure you maintain compliance while optimizing your ability to serve your community.

Board Reporting & Financial Transparency

Non-profit boards need clear, comprehensive financial information to make informed decisions and demonstrate accountability to stakeholders. Our board reporting services deliver professional financial packages tailored to board requirements with executive summaries, detailed operational analysis, fund-specific statements, budget vs. actual reporting, and compliance dashboards that provide complete financial visibility.

We prepare consolidated financial statements that show your organization's complete financial position alongside fund-specific reports that demonstrate proper use of restricted funds. Our board reporting includes donor impact reports that show how funds are being used to advance your mission, program cost analysis that supports strategic decisions about resource allocation, and trend analysis that identifies financial patterns requiring board attention.

Beyond regular board meetings, we prepare annual financial statements for AGMs, donor reports that demonstrate transparency and accountability, and customized reports for specific stakeholders including funders, regulators, and community partners. Our non-profit accounting services help Canadian organizations build trust through transparent, accurate, and timely financial reporting that supports good governance and informed decision-making.

Budget Management & Financial Planning

Effective non-profit management requires careful budget planning and ongoing monitoring. Our budget management services help organizations develop realistic budgets that support strategic planning, fund diversification goals, and program sustainability. We implement budget tracking systems that provide real-time variance analysis, identify trends requiring attention, and support data-driven decisions about resource allocation.

We prepare operating budgets, capital budgets, grant-specific budgets, and cash flow projections that help non-profits plan for sustainability. Our budget vs. actual reporting highlights areas where spending aligns with or deviates from plans, enabling timely adjustments that support fiscal responsibility. We help boards and executive directors understand financial implications of programming decisions and plan for multi-year financial sustainability.

Our non-profit budgeting expertise includes scenario planning for different funding scenarios, reserve policy development, and financial sustainability planning. Canadian non-profit organizations trust our budget management services to provide the financial insights needed for strategic planning, board presentations, and funder proposals. We help you balance mission-driven goals with fiscal responsibility, ensuring your organization remains financially healthy while maximizing community impact.
