When a not-for-profit organization faced unclear financials, strained vendor relationships, and ongoing cash flow issues, Acclarity stepped in with swift, hands-on support.
From stabilizing day-to-day accounting to identifying process gaps and hiring a skilled accounting manager, we helped the client restore internal control and ensure timely, accurate financial reporting. See how our tailored approach delivered structure, clarity, and lasting impact.
Leaders of a not-for-profit organization recognized ongoing challenges within their small accounting function but lacked visibility into the root causes. Financial reporting was unclear and often delayed, vendor relationships were strained due to untimely payments, and cash flow remained a persistent concern. The unexpected departure of a key accounting team member presented a timely opportunity to seek external support and drive meaningful change.
Our Acclarity team quickly stepped in to bring the accounting function up to date, establish more effective processes, and support the hiring of a new accounting manager. By coming on-site, we were able to hit the ground running—managing payables, deposits, payroll, and financial reporting without delay. While catching up on transaction processing, we resolved vendor issues, corrected receivables balances, and performed a full balance sheet clean-up. During this process, we identified that cash flow issues were largely due to unauthorized spending. To address this, we streamlined workflows and clarified roles and responsibilities to ensure proper segregation of duties. We also helped draft the job description, supported the interview process, and guided the hiring of a new accounting manager. Finally, we delivered a prioritized list of recommendations to help the organization continuously improve its accounting processes, enhance financial reporting, and maintain strong internal controls.
Acclarity stepped in to stabilize and modernize the client’s accounting function during a critical period. By resolving financial inconsistencies, identifying root causes of cash flow issues, and streamlining internal processes, we restored clarity and control. Our strategic guidance and support—ranging from operations to talent—helped the client regain financial confidence and build a foundation for long-term success.
