A part-time CFO. Not a full-time hire.

Most organizations we meet are stuck between two bad options: a bookkeeper who can't answer a board question, or a finance director whose salary would eat a program.

There's a third shape.

One dedicated Client Manager who knows your whole ledger — your grants, your funders, your fiscal calendar. Someone who works at every level, from cash-flow projections down to accounts payable, and who sits in your board meeting and answers the questions directly.

Remote or onsite. Your call.

One client put it better than we could: "they made her feel like part of their team, part of their family — from setting up the organization through managing its finances."

That's the job.

What's the gap on your finance team right now?

The three famous methods to allocate the shared cost. Only one is right for a given expense.

Your admin salary, your rent, your phone system — none of them belong to a single grant. How you split them is the difference between a clean report and an audit finding.

The three famous methods:

FTE — Full Time Equivalent of the staff. Split by the share of time actually worked on each program, supported by timesheets, not estimates.

Square footage — for space. Rent, utilities, and facilities follow the floor plan.

Weighted Average— for volume. Meals served, clients seen, calls answered.

The method matters less than two things: that it reflects reality, and that the documentation existed before the expense was booked.

An allocation you can explain in a sentence is an allocation that survives an audit.

Remember: You can us ONE only method for the entire organization for the entire fiscal year!

Audit season should NOT be a season.

If your team struggles during the last month of the year to close the books and be audit-ready, the audit isn't the problem. The first eleven months of the year are.

Audit-ready is a monthly state, not a spring project:

· The books are closed, and the financial statements are delivered by the 10th
· The cost allocation is completed across the funding sources on a weekly basis
· The Budget-to-actual is reviewed while there's still time to fix a variance

What does the audit season look like on your calendar?
