Grant-ready. Audit-ready. Mission-ready.
Nonprofit accounting, finance, payroll, grant fiscal compliance, and funder reporting — with named owners, defined deadlines, and full transparency for every engagement.
How we’re accountable to you
Four pillars of nonprofit operations, with named owners, defined timelines, and published standards
Multi-fund reconciliation, allocation review, and variance commentary delivered within 15 business days – every month, guaranteed.
Program, management & general, and fundraising expenses classified continuously – not rebuilt at year-end for your Form 990.
Audit workpapers, filings support, and compliance monitoring embedded into daily work – so your annual audit becomes routine.
Grant Budgets, Board Reports, and Financial Forecasts—Delivered
Board reports and funder reports delivered early, built from live numbers with clear narrative and supporting documentation.
Cash flow forecasting and burn-rate analysis with scenario planning across programs and grants.
Loan structuring, refinancing, and capital planning for nonprofits—built around restricted funds, board governance, and long-term sustainability.
On-time pay runs, correct withholding, Form 941 and state filings, W-2s and 1099s – backed by complete payroll reports that support program costs allocation.
Defensible program and grant allocations for payroll and fringe benefits – built for audits, grant invoicing, and Form 990 reporting.
Benefits administration, stipends, reimbursements, garnishments, retro and off-cycle pay runs, terminations, and multi-state payroll compliance.
Secure, connected data infrastructure for nonprofit operations
Automated sync across CRM, donor platforms, accounting, payroll, billing, and case systems—validated pipelines and monitored refresh cycles.
Standardized definitions, de-duplication, validation rules, and full audit trails – so your metrics stay consistent across board and funder reports.
Role-based access controls, encryption, data retention policies, and PHI safeguards for client and participant.
Check our work. Anytime
Every transaction your Bookr team processes is visible in real time. See month-end close progress, grant invoice status, and board pack delivery – without sending a single email.
Real-time grant performance
Track burn rates, restricted fund balances, and funder invoice status in one view. When a grant trends off-budget, Bookr flags it early with next steps — reallocation, budget mod, or funder conversation — before it becomes a problem.
Pebble AI — answers, not just data
Ask a question in plain language. Pebble AI pulls the right contract, reads the terms, layers in real-time performance data, and gives you a decisive answer — no folder digging, no waiting.
Board, Funder & Impact Reporting
Board and funder financial narratives built from live data – customized by audience, backed by traceable numbers.
From on-boarding to audit-ready in 60 days
When clarity matters, our partners rely on Bookr to move with confidence.
Baseline & plan.
We map your current month-end close, grant workflows, and approval processes, then align on the operating standard you need: timelines, owners, and reporting expectations.
Controls & cadence.
We implement a repeatable monthly rhythm: approvals, documentation, and review checkpoints – so nothing slips and compliance is built into every workflow.
Audit-ready rhythm.
Your finance function runs predictably: month-end close lands on time, grant reporting and invoicing are funder-ready, and every number is supported by traceable documentation.
