How the work is structured

Three pillars that keep the books current, correct, and useful.

01

Keep it current

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, and periods closed on a predictable schedule so nothing piles up between board meetings.

  • Monthly bank and credit card reconciliations
  • Merchant and giving batch reconciliation
  • Accounts payable and receivable tracking
02

Make it correct

Fund accounting applied properly, restricted dollars protected, and a documentation trail that holds up to a treasurer change or an audit.

  • Restricted vs. unrestricted fund treatment
  • Designated giving and capital campaign tracking
  • Grant and program cost allocation
03

Make it useful

Reporting written for the people who have to make decisions: pastors, executive directors, boards, finance committees, and owner-operators.

  • Budget-to-actual comparison reporting
  • Fund balance and cash flow statements
  • Board-ready financial packets

Who we serve

The same discipline, applied to four different kinds of organizations.

Churches & ministries

General, designated, and building funds; contribution batches that reconcile; reports a volunteer treasurer can present without anxiety.

501(c)(3) nonprofits

Grant and restricted fund tracking, program versus administrative reporting, and documentation that satisfies auditors and funders.

Associations

Dues and membership revenue, event and conference accounting, and reporting split by committee or program.

Small businesses

Monthly bookkeeping, payroll support, and tax-ready books for owner-operators who would rather be running the business.

How an engagement starts

A calm, organized onboarding — not another project on your plate.

01 Stewardship review

A free conversation about what is happening in your books, what is working, and where the gaps and risks are.

02 Assessment

We review your chart of accounts, funds, giving records, and prior filings, then recommend scope and priorities.

03 Cleanup & setup

Historical entries corrected, funds and classes structured properly, and reporting templates built around your board.

04 Monthly rhythm

Recurring close, reporting delivery, and a standing line of communication so you are never wondering where things stand.

Software to match the service

MissionLedger handles the funds, donors, and 990 mapping your current system probably cannot.

If your accounting software was built for product sales, your nonprofit is working against it every month. MissionLedger was designed from the start for fund accounting, donor activity, and board-ready reporting — and Frontline can configure and run it for you.

Fund accounting by default General, designated, restricted, and capital funds with live balances — not a workaround in a for-profit chart of accounts.
Donor activity beside the ledger Pledges, recurring giving, and giving history recorded where the accounting lives, so reconciliation is not a separate project.
990 mapping built in Your chart of accounts maps to Form 990 lines, so year-end preparation starts from a clean foundation.
Guided close with an audit trail Bank feeds, a repeatable close workflow, and immutable logs that give volunteers and auditors confidence.
Start with a conversation

Tell us what is happening in your books and we will tell you what we would fix first.

No pressure and no obligation. A stewardship review is a working conversation about your funds, your reporting, and the risks you may not be able to see from inside.
