Bookkeeping for Non-Profits

Grant-savvy bookkeeping that meets every deadline.

City of Chicago grants, HUD, Illinois GATA, and federal programs — with cost allocation and QuickBooks discipline behind every submission.

What we stand for

Compliance. Accuracy. Reporting expertise. Reliability.

Grant-funded work depends on current books, sensible allocations, and reports that match what funders expect — month after month, closeout after closeout.

Compliance

City, state, and federal requirements each carry their own rules. We prepare submissions with those standards — and your auditors — in view.

Accuracy

Grant reporting starts in QuickBooks — income and expenses entered correctly so vouchers, MGIs, and PFRs match what actually happened.

Reporting Expertise

Deadline-driven submissions and closeout, handled with the detail funders expect.

Reliability

Monthly submissions and funder deadlines treated as non-negotiable — with documentation that holds up under review.

Specialized Services

Grant reporting, organized around how funding actually works.

Organized by the funders and submission types most non-profits juggle — built on the day-to-day bookkeeping your reports depend on.

City of Chicago Grants & eProcurement

Chicago grants managed end to end — budgets, iSupplier/eProcurement submissions, monthly reimbursements, revisions, and closeout — so approved dollars actually reach your programs without delay.

Illinois GATA & State Reporting

GATA-compliant budgets and state reporting, with expense monitoring that protects your full funding and keeps you in good standing.

HUD & Federal Grant Programs

HUD vouchers and federal grant budgets backed by accurate books — so vouchers are accepted, payments stay prompt, and reviews are easier to support.

MGIs, PFRs & Periodic Submissions

Recurring funder reports — MGIs, PFRs, and other submission types — prepared from clean data and filed on time, with backup that matches your general ledger line for line.

Cost Allocation & Grant-Aware Payroll

Shared costs and staff time allocated to the right programs from the start — consistent, and ready for any funder reviews.

Audit-Ready Books & Reconciliations

Reconciled, board-ready books that keep grant reporting accurate and organized, with clear financial records for boards, funders, and auditors.
