What makes us different:
We understand your mission
We shield your directors and officers from fiduciary liability to donors and grantors by using fund accounting to protect restricted from unrestricted assets.
We make you more profitable
We give you better numbers than you’ve ever seen before and show you where in your numbers you can make more money without you having to become an accountant to understand it.
We automate your financial processes
We make integration of your operating and accounting software platforms work smoothly, which eliminates costly manual manipulation of data by your bookkeeper and gets revenue and expense transactions to the right GL account and fund.
Make budgets easy
We give you simple budget templates for each operating unit and automatically roll them into a consolidated budget. No more spending months on next year’s budget or re-forecasting the current year’s budget.
Besides non-profits, we help startups, real estate companies and established businesses make more money and lower risk. Browse our other CFO services.

FAQs
How can a virtual CFO help my non-profit?
A virtual CFO makes sure you follow nonprofit accounting rules, manages budgets for programs and grants, gives smart advice to your board, and creates systems that keep your finances stable. We help you show donors you’re using their money wisely while helping you make good decisions that increase your impact.
What makes CFO & Co different from other non-profit consultants?
We combine deep nonprofit know-how with affordable support that fits your organization, serves your mission and protects you from D&O liability. Our financial processes fit organizations with small donor funds to multi-million-dollar government grants.
Do you work with small non-profits or only large organizations?
Both. We work with nonprofits of all sizes – from small community groups to big foundations. Whether your budget is $100K or $10M per year, our services fit what you need and can afford.
How do you help with grant management and reporting?
We create reports to track grant spending and other reports grantors, agencies, and auditors demand. Compliance with donor and grant restrictions is tight and nothing falls through the cracks.
What is fund accounting and why does my non-profit need it?
Fund accounting separates the books for restricted and unrestricted funds. This prevents commingling of funds which violate donor and grantor restrictions. Financial reports are easier to understand because they report results for unrestricted operating units and each restricted fund separately. Contact us to learn how we can make your finances stronger.
How do CFO services help non-profit organizations stay compliant?
CFO services help non-profit organizations stay compliant by ensuring accurate financial reporting, proper handling of restricted funds, and adherence to regulatory requirements. This includes maintaining clean books, improving internal controls, and preparing for audits, so your organization can operate with confidence and transparency.
How do CFO services support better reporting to boards and donors?
CFO services improve reporting by providing clear, accurate financial statements and insights that are easy for boards and donors to understand. This includes budget-to-actual reporting, cash flow visibility, and structured financial updates that support better oversight and decision-making.
Are virtual CFO services suitable for non-profit organizations?
Yes. Virtual CFO services for non-profits provide the same level of financial leadership as an in-house CFO, without the cost of a full-time hire. This allows organizations to access experienced guidance, improve financial processes, and maintain strong oversight while remaining cost-efficient.
