Grant-compliant finance for arts & culture nonprofits that keep winning grants faster than the back office can absorb them.
Get a free grant rulebook See how it worksOne operator. Three founding slots this year. Two remain.
Every funder brings its own rules — billing basis, documentation, deadlines, disallowed costs. Every rule adds hours. The hours come out of the mission.
So you rebuild the same report five ways, invoice late because you're scared to bill wrong, run payroll on hope, and spend three weeks a year doing archaeology for the audit. Not because you're bad at this — because you were never supposed to be doing it. You started this to make art.
Success is what breaks the spreadsheet. This service exists so that when you win your next grant, it's just good news.
An eight-week cash runway tying every payroll date to expected grant receipts. You know it clears — not hope, know.
Every funder invoiced on time, to its own rules, human-approved. The money comes back on schedule. Nothing owed to you gets forgotten.
The auditor's request list maintained year-round, not rebuilt annually. Audit season becomes handing over a binder that already exists.
Everything is a document you can hold, show your board, or hand an auditor. It all lives in your accounts and belongs to you.
Your finance system, built and documented — ending with the first clean close of your organization's life.
The close, run for you, every month — so the system gets better with every grant instead of worse.
Your part of onboarding: read access to the books, copies of your grant agreements, and one kickoff hour. If you can forward PDFs, you can onboard.
We're early, and we won't pretend otherwise. No wall of testimonials — instead, real work you can inspect before you commit, and a guarantee with teeth:
And once we're operating: if a funder invoice we prepare goes out late or out of compliance with its rulebook, that month is free. Bounded, provable, in writing.
This system runs a real multi-grant arts nonprofit's finances every month — including county cost-reimbursement contracts under active fiscal monitoring. You'll be a founding client, at a founding rate, with an obsessive level of attention precisely because you're early.

Email us one grant agreement — the funder whose rules scare you most.
Within 48 hours: its billing basis, the documentation you must keep, disallowed costs, deadlines — and the three most common ways organizations get burned by this exact type of contract.
That's it. The rulebook is yours either way. If it's useful, imagine one for every funder you have.
Five teardowns a month. Your documents stay private — read by one person, stored nowhere else, deleted on request.
