Are Your Organisation’s Finances Standing In The Way Of Your World- Changing Mission?

As a non-profit or community-focused organisation, you’re in the
business of changing lives, making a difference, and leaving a
positive legacy for years to come. In what can sometimes be a
thankless job, it pays to know that you’re accomplishing
something significant, and making an impact on the world around
you. Chances are, you want to feel a sense of accomplishment,
knowing that you’re on top of things and on track to make your
organisation better!

But in reality, the day-to-day tasks that actually land
on your shoulders aren’t quite so inspiring. From audits
to funding obligations, to payroll, and more… it can
even feel as if your finances are holding you back
from success.

Have You Found Yourself Hitting Any Of These Walls With Your Non-Profit’s Finances?

Are your current bookkeepers unable to keep up with the complexities of running a non-profit or community-focused organisation? And you need support that aligns with your unique needs and challenges.

Does your organisation support disadvantaged groups, or employ people with limited technical and other literacy skills? And you need creative solutions to bridge gaps and provide equal access to what they need.

Do you feel stressed or worried about complying with government and funding requirements? And you wish you had a sounding board for trusted advice and help.

Do you struggle to stay on top of your books, payroll, and reporting? And you feel like you’re constantly behind on bills and other finance tasks.

Do you work remotely and don’t have local access to bookkeeping or financial services? And you want a reliable, accessible, remote solution that still gives you the level of financial clarity and control you need.

Are you constantly afraid your audit will derail your progress and slow you down? And you want peace of mind that it’ll go smoothly with no surprises.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. So many non-profits and community-focused
organisations are burdened by a lack of clarity over their finances, but it doesn’t have to be this
way. With a proactive, hands-on, and ultra-customised approach to your bookkeeping and
finances, you can feel equipped to make the greatest impact possible.

At Purposely, We’re On A Mission To Take The Stress Out Of Your Non-Profit’s Finances So You Can Drive More Change

By leaving your bookkeeping, payroll, audit compliance, and more
up to us, you can make smarter, more empowered decisions for
the future of your organisation. With the capacity to take on the
work of an entire finance department, you can rely on us as your
independent Chief Financial Officer – not only taking practical
tasks off your plate but offering a sounding board for out-the-box
thinking and growth-minded advice.

As experts in non-profit and community-focused
organisation accounting, we’ll help you keep the pulse
on your numbers and your purpose front of mind.

ready, with up-to-date reporting
