The Five Accounting Challenges That Test Nonprofits

Nonprofits face accounting challenges including fund tracking, grant compliance, revenue recognition, expense allocation, and transparency in reporting.

Fund Accounting and Restrictions

Tracking restricted, unrestricted, and temporarily restricted funds demands precision.

Grant Compliance and Reimbursement

Grants often require cost reporting and audits; missteps risk losing funding.

Revenue Recognition for Donations and Pledges

Pledges and in-kind gifts need careful timing under ASC 958.

Expense Allocation

Dividing program, admin, and fundraising costs affects donor trust and charity ratings.

Reporting Transparency

Boards, donors, and regulators all want different views of the same data.

Kilgoris Project COO

“I think it’s a no brainer because for the full suite of tools, I think the total yearly cost is in the ballpark of if I wanted to hire a single operations person in-house to do some of the stuff full time.”

Tom Kysar

Director of Operations of Forecast Foundation

“I don’t think of them as a vendor, I look at them as a resource and a support system for us. I think of them as part of my team. It is almost as if they are a limb of the Squash Zone.”
