Getting started is simpler than you think
- Book a free consultation — A working conversation about your books, grants, and where things are falling behind — not a sales pitch.
- Get a scoped, flat-fee proposal — A monthly rate based on your organization’s size, transaction volume, and reporting needs — no hourly billing, ever.
- Your Account Cloud Advisory team gets to work — Fund structure review, chart of accounts cleanup, and a clean handoff. Most engagements start within two to three weeks.
Why nonprofits choose Account Cloud Advisory
A nonprofit-only practice, not a for-profit firm with a nonprofit division.
A nonprofit-only practice: Every engagement starts from ASC 958, not a chart of accounts built for a business. One flat fee, never hourly: Every engagement is scoped and agreed up front. Works with or without Unity: Unity is recommended but never required; we assess your current systems first.
