At AlProfit Consult, we are always committed to supporting all our clients with specialized services, specific requirements, and ongoing customization. We believe that every case is different from the next and requires dedicated effort and special attention.
Nonprofit organizations are an important part of our collaborations. We work closely with several organizations in our country, providing ongoing accounting services, financial consulting, implementation of accounting software, and other support services.
During these engagements, we have come to understand the importance most of them place on fulfilling their mission; often, a significant portion of their expenses is funded by the organization's own members. On the other hand, their financial administration is a challenge in itself. Their different modes of operation, donors' specific requirements, and, overall, our financial culture of managing shared funds are more difficult than one might think.
Some of the issues that can be improved in the day-to-day financial management of nonprofit organizations are as follows:
- The necessary personnel to directly manage the organization's finances are missing. Due to the nature of the projects and their intermittent implementation, a significant portion of organizations—especially relatively small ones (in terms of funds and staff involved)—are unable to hire a full-time economist.
- There is no accounting information system or accounting software to manage all the necessary financial information, control transactions, record data, and then report to management or donors. This is mainly due to a lack of funds, donors' specific requirements to report on a cash basis rather than on accrual basis, a lack of information, and many other factors and reasons.
- The collaboration with external accounting firms to manage financial data and tax returns is completely superficial. In most cases, the accounting office only provides the filing of periodic tax returns and the recording of data in a parallel accounting system, which is used solely for preparing financial statements for general purposes (those filed with tax authorities).
AlProfit Consult can help you improve the management of accounting data and completely transform the role a financial consulting firm plays in its day-to-day work. We can be an integral part of decision-making right from the initial phase of budget drafting and proposal preparation for the donor.
Going forward, we will monitor the project's implementation step by step and provide ongoing support. You will always have our commitment to discuss any decision you make, and you won't have to worry about the usual reporting to donors, directors, or public authorities.
Our studio specializes in using the financial software QuickBooks. This isn't everything, nor is it enough on its own to ensure success in your work, but it is a reliable and important factor in your success. We can install it (entirely free of charge) and assist with its implementation within your organization. This platform is quite well-known and popular, and by any classification or ranking, QuickBooks is without a doubt the most popular and best-known program.
In most cases, the donors themselves recommend implementing QuickBooks to manage data and generate reports from within the application. Since it is well-known and used in most organizations, monitoring by donors also becomes easier. The flexibility it offers and its global popularity make it easy for anyone to use. QuickBooks is not just an accounting program; it is a dedicated system for storing and reporting data, from budgeting to reporting for internal and donor purposes.
Even more important than installing and working in QuickBooks is its implementation and ongoing monitoring, involving all administrative and interested parties within your organization. We understand that the day-to-day work within an organization is quite intensive, and there is often no time to prepare the necessary documentation and to timely record every expense that occurs.
AlProfit Consult can help you by getting involved in your daily work. We can discuss and jointly design work processes and then provide ongoing follow-up. You won't have to decide each time an expense arises which documents need to be prepared or which expenses have already been incurred. You will be clear on the necessary documentation, financial costs, and any other procedures required by the donor, public authorities, or even by the organization's own practices and decisions. This way you can focus on your daily work and do what needs to be done and what you do best: fulfilling your organization's mission.
