Hire Finance & Accounting Talent for Nonprofits

Nonprofit accounting answers to donors and grant rules, not shareholders, and the restrictions on money shape everything. MAVI places finance professionals who understand fund accounting, grant compliance, and restricted versus unrestricted funds.

Nonprofit Finance Expertise That Matters

A nonprofit tracks money by its purpose and its restrictions, not by profit, which inverts much of ordinary accounting. An accountant from a for-profit background can keep clean books and still mishandle the fund restrictions and grant rules that define nonprofit finance.

1

Fund-Based Accounting

Nonprofits account by fund, separating money by purpose and restriction. A specialist maintains fund accounting and the net asset classes it requires. A generalist tracks one pool of money and loses the restriction detail nonprofits are held to.

2

Grant Compliance

Grants come with conditions on how money is spent and reported, and compliance is mandatory. A specialist tracks grant spending against conditions and prepares funder reporting. A generalist can spend grant money correctly by accident and still miss the compliance reporting funders require.

3

Restricted Funds

Donor-restricted funds must be tracked and released only as restrictions are met. A specialist tracks restriction release and keeps restricted and unrestricted balances clean. A generalist can commingle restricted money, which for a nonprofit is a serious failing.

4

Functional Expense

Nonprofits report expenses by function, program, admin, and fundraising, for filings and transparency. A specialist allocates expenses by function accurately. A generalist records expenses by type and isn't set up for the functional reporting nonprofits must produce.
