Typical work includes fund and grant aware bookkeeping, board and finance committee reporting, audit preparation, handbook and policy rewrites, payroll and benefits setup, and nonprofit status and registration support.

Senior centers are a focus. We help senior centers that are separating from Sound Generations become independent: nonprofit status and fiscal sponsorship questions, payroll on their own account, health benefits and HR policies, their own QuickBooks, banking, point of sale, and a new brand and website. After the cutover we continue with monthly financials, grant budgets, HR check-ins, and compliance reminders.
