For Nonprofits

The financial back office your nonprofit was meant to have.

One team, one platform, delivering clean books, program-level reporting, and board-ready insight every month. Built for nonprofits run by program people, not finance people.
The business performance and finance partner for purpose-driven organizations

If any of these are quietly true at your organization, you're not alone.

Most services nonprofits sit somewhere in the gap between "the books are technically being done" and "we can actually use them to lead the organization." Here's what that gap looks like in practice.
01
The board meeting

"Which of our programs are actually paying for themselves?"

A reasonable question. One you should be able to answer in 60 seconds. Instead it takes two weeks, a spreadsheet rebuild, and a lot of caveats. Most nonprofit books were never designed to produce a program P&L.

"We just need to get through this audit."

A month of rebuilding spreadsheets so the numbers tie to the financials. The board is anxious, the ED is stressed, the bookkeeper is buried. It's not really an audit problem. It's a year-round books problem showing up at the worst possible time.

03
Funder reports

"This report is going to take three days."

Different cuts of the same data for different grants on different
reporting cycles. All manual, all repetitive, all draining capacity. And
funders notice. Organizations with clean, professional financial
reporting get more grants.

"How long do we have if the grant doesn't comethrough?"

Nonprofits run thin reserves, grants arrive on different cycles,
reimbursements lag 30 to 90 days. Cash flow forecasting matters
more here than in almost any sector, and most nonprofits do it badly
because the books don't make it easy.

Cash visibility

How we work alongside your organization.

A consultative process built around how nonprofit leaders actually work. We do the heavy lifting,
you stay in the room, and the conversation moves from "what's happening?" to "what should we
do next?"
1
Foundation

We rebuild the books so they can actually answer questions.

Chart of accounts redesigned for fund accounting,
program tracking, and functional expense splits. Every
transaction tagged so program P&Ls, restricted funds, and grant compliance come from the same source.
Three-way tagging on every transaction
Restricted funds tracked against their conditions
Cost allocation processes agreed to and implemented, enabling daily progress reporting
2
Monthly rhythm

We close the month and walk you through what it means.

Clean monthly close. Plain-English performance report
with program P&Ls, cash position, and forward-looking
commentary. A live session with your Business
Performance Partner to talk through what to do next.
Board-ready Insights report every month
Business Performance Partner strategy session walking through what changed
Action plan tracked between sessions
3
Lead with clarity

You stop reacting to your books and start leading with them.

Board meetings shift from interrogating numbers to
backing decisions. Audits become a non-event. Funder reports take an hour. Program decisions get the data they need.
Audits handled year-round, not as a fire drill
Funder reporting built into the monthly rhythm
Growth planning backed by numbers you trust

Three things that make Visory different for nonprofits.

Not better than every other option for every organization. Just genuinely different in three ways that matter most to services nonprofits.
VISORY
Bookkeeping
Payroll & AP/AR
Business Performance & Reporting
Business Performance & Reporting

One team. One platform. The whole back office.

Most nonprofits stitch together a business manager, a payroll provider, an audit firm, and sometimes a fractional CFO. Visory runs all of it on one platform with one team, one contract, and one source of truth. No handoffs, no version conflicts, no chasing four providers when something breaks.
Playbook
Playbook
Playbook

Built on what's worked across our nonprofit portfolio.

Your Business Performance Partner walks in with the levers, the benchmarks, and the playbooks already learned from organizations at your stage. How peers structure their chart of accounts, which board reporting formats land, what grant cycles to watch for. You're not starting from scratch every month.

Sharper insights, every month, without lifting a finger.

Anomalies surfaced before they become problems. Peer benchmarks built into every board pack. Insights that feel one step ahead of the conversation, not two months behind it. You get the advantage of a tech-forward back office without having to think about the tech.

Available when you need them. Layer in what fits.

Most organizations start with the monthly rhythm and pull in the rest as they go. Nothing's all-or-nothing. Pick the parts that move your organization right now.

From monthly reports that went nowhere, to a financial partner who understands agency economics and has a plan to improve them.

What nonprofit leaders ask before they start with us.

A bookkeeper records what happened. Visory builds the system that turns the data into something you can actually use, including program-level P&Ls, board-ready packs, funder reports, and audit-ready output every month. Most bookkeepers handle the transactional layer. We handle the full back office.

Visory can operate in multiple ways for your organization. We can give your finance director leverage, taking the processing work off their plate so they can focus on strategy and program management. Most internal finance leads become Visory's biggest advocates because they finally have the foundation they need. Or, if you'd prefer, Visory can take on the full financial management of your back office as part of your organization.

Through a purpose-built chart of accounts that tags every transaction with the funding source it ties back to. You see in real-time how much restricted funding is available, what conditions apply, and how it has been spent. No more end-of-year rebuilding from spreadsheets.

Your Form 990 is filed by your own audit firm, or by one of our trusted partner firms (whitelabel available) if you'd like Visory to coordinate the full process. Because the books are kept audit-ready year round, the 990 prep is fast and clean either way. Same for Single Audit if your organization receives over $1M in federal expenditures.

We document everything. Your chart of accounts logic, allocation methodologies, and reporting structures are all written down and owned by you. If you ever leave Visory, you walk away with a finance function that works, not a black box.

Most of our clients are services nonprofits between $1M and $10M in annual revenue with 5 to 100 staff, but we do serve organizations outside this range depending on what they need. The best way to know is a quick conversation about your situation.

Standard onboarding is 30 to 60 days depending on complexity. For organizations with messy historical books, expect 60 to 90 days including cleanup. We do a thorough chart of accounts redesign at the start so the foundation is right from day one.

Yes. Audit prep is one of our most common entry points. We come in, clean up the books, set up proper documentation, and get you audit-ready in 30 to 60 days. After that, the monthly rhythm keeps you ready year round.
