Accounting Services for Social Service Organizations
We Build Stronger Social Service Nonprofits.
Don't let financial reporting and compliance steal your focus away from your mission. Leave the numbers to the experts.
We focus on the numbers, so you can focus on the mission.
Keeping up with different reporting and compliance requirements for every funding source? Understanding accounting complexities like cost allocation, in-kind donations, and grant revenue recognition? Managing cash flows through funding delays and uncertainties? We've done it all — for organizations just like yours — and we can help you!
Challenges We Can Help Your Social Service Organization Solve
You have a lot on your plate. Don't let financial reporting and compliance demands stand in your way of making a difference in your community. We can help your human service organization overcome common challenges like:
Managing Cash Flow:
You likely have a lag between when you spend funds and when you receive reimbursement with grant funding. We can help you forecast and manage your cash flow so you'll feel confident that you can bridge reimbursement gaps and weather funding delays and uncertainties.
Covering Overhead Costs:
Do you have multiple funding streams and program areas? We can work with your team to develop and maintain a defensible cost allocation plan that ensures compliance and transparency.
Grant Compliance and Reporting:
Navigating complex grant requirements, including allowable costs, time and effort reporting, and outcome tracking, can be overwhelming. We can take this task off your plate, handling any and every strange of the grant lifecycle for you.
Recording and Valuing In-Kind Contributions:
If you receive gifts in kind, such as food, clothing, and professional services, but struggle to properly record and value these contributions, we can help. YPTC will make sure all your in-kind donations are properly accounted for.
Technology Limitations:
When your systems for accounting, case management, and donor tracking are outdated, you may not be getting the most out of your data. YPTC can recommend and implement improvements within your existing processes, as well as assist you with system conversions if you decide to make a change.
