About Nonprofit Guru
We're a CPA-led, fully remote firm that runs and strengthens the back office for nonprofits across the United States.
The firm
Nonprofit Guru is led by a Virginia-licensed CPA with about 20 years in nonprofit finance, accounting and operations. That includes six years in financial statement audit and fourteen years in nonprofit CFO-level roles, with hands-on responsibility for finance, HR, payroll, audit readiness, compliance, operations and finance technology.
Every engagement is founder-led. You work directly with the CPA leading the firm, not a rotating team of junior staff.
Our approach
- Small client list, by design. We take on a limited number of ongoing clients, so each one gets senior attention.
- Scope in writing first. You know exactly what we’ll do and what it costs before work starts.
- Plain language. Reports and advice your leadership and board can actually use.
- Built to last. We document processes and set up systems so your back office doesn’t depend on any one person, including us.
Why CPA-led matters
- Professional standards. As a licensed CPA firm, we’re held to professional and ethical standards.
- Audit-ready by default. Our audit background shapes how we keep books, document decisions and prepare schedules.
- The whole picture. Finance, compliance, payroll, HR and operations are connected. One accountable lead sees how they fit together.
What we don’t do
We don’t perform audits, reviews or compilations. That keeps us firmly on your side of the table, working alongside your independent auditor.
Tools we work in
We have extensive hands-on experience with QuickBooks Online, Xero, Ramp, Rippling and Asana. We’re independent, and we aren’t affiliated with or paid by these vendors.
