Financial Health Assessments for Nonprofits
A Complete Picture of Reality for Your Organization
A healthy future for your nonprofit starts with a full understanding of where it is today.
Here’s how we give that to you.
Data Discovery and Collection
We spend a day or two onsite with you to gather your financial information.
Here’s what we gather:
- Statements of financial position (balance sheets), activities (profit/loss statements), functional expenses, and cash flow
- Current and past budgets
- Capital expenditures
- Grants, donations, and other funding sources
- Financial forecasts, projections, and strategy doc
- Organizational documents
Financial Analysis
We examine all the financial data we collect to uncover the story it tells.
Here’s what we learn:
- With trend analysis, we identify financial patterns over time.
- With ratio analysis, we determine your financial health and stability.
- With budget variance analysis, we compare your actual financial performance against your targets.
Risk Identification and Evaluation
