FAQs
What help do you offer if our grant setup is messy or we are behind on reporting?
A lot of organizations come in midstream with past-due reports, unclear coding, or grant budgets that do not match what is in the general ledger. A consulting engagement can start with a short “current state” review, then a cleanup plan that lines up grant budgets, expense coding, supporting documentation, and reporting deadlines. The goal is to get you back to a steady monthly rhythm so funder reports stop being a fire drill.
How do you handle cost allocation, shared expenses, and indirect costs across grants?
Grant reporting often breaks down when shared costs like rent, payroll, and admin time are spread inconsistently. A practical approach is to document an allocation method that fits your programs, apply it consistently each month, and keep backup schedules that tie to the financial statements. If a grant has a negotiated indirect rate or special rules, those details get built into the budget and tracking so reimbursements and reporting line up with funder expectations.
What do you need from our team to get started, and who owns what?
Most engagements work best when your team keeps approval authority and program context, while the consultant handles structure, tracking, and reporting mechanics. Typical items to share upfront include the grant agreements, budgets, reporting templates, current chart of accounts, recent financials, and a list of reporting deadlines. From there, roles are mapped out for who submits documentation, who reviews and approves, and who communicates with funders during reporting and closeout.
