Board meeting next week and no financials ready?

With monthly bookkeeping that stays current, board-ready financials are simply part of the routine.

Your treasurer is stepping down... Now what?

It happens to almost every nonprofit eventually. The person who "just knows" how the books work moves on, and everyone else is left guessing.

The fix: current books, documented processes, and monthly financials that anyone on your board can understand. That's exactly what I help nonprofits build!

Just landed a big grant? Congratulations! That's a huge win for your organization and it's mission.

Now comes the unfortunate part funders care about: tracking every dollar, spending it the way the agreement allows, and reporting on it accurately and on time. Restricted grant money needs its own clear trail in your books.

Audit season shouldn't mean late nights, missing documents, and surprise findings!

Most audit headaches come from a few common gaps: reconciliations that aren't done monthly, restricted funds that aren't tracked separately, and grant expenses without clear documentation.

My free Audit Readiness Checklist walks you through 41 checkpoints so you can find the gaps before your auditor does. Grab it in the link below!

Hi! I'm Kristan, owner of Compass Rose Bookkeeping LLC.

I've spent more than 20 years in accounting and finance, from growing into an accounting manager at a mortgage company to managing the finances of a nonprofit foundation. Along the way I found the work that is most meaningful to me is helping nonprofits get their books in order so they can focus on their mission. Helping those who help others!

If your organization is growing rapidly, grant-funded, or dreading its next audit, I'd love to help! You can start with my free Audit Readiness Checklist found in the link below:
