Every dollar has a donor behind it.
Your books should prove it.
EFP provides accounting and bookkeeping built specifically for Atlanta nonprofits — proper fund accounting for restricted and unrestricted dollars, grant-ready reporting, and financials your board and funders can actually trust. We work with nonprofits and mission-driven organizations of every size.
No grant-level reporting
Program vs. admin costs untracked
Grant compliance built in
Clear program & admin expense ratios
Your mission is clear.
Your books shouldn’t put funding at risk.
- ✕ You’re not fully confident restricted and unrestricted funds are being tracked separately and correctly.
- ✕ Grant reporting deadlines create scrambles because the numbers aren’t organized by grant.
- ✕ Your board asks financial questions you can’t fully answer with confidence.
- ✕ You don’t have a clear, defensible program-vs-administrative expense ratio to show funders.
- ✕ Your books aren’t ready for an audit, and tax season or a 990 filing always feels like a fire drill.
That’s exactly what EFP was built to solve.
We give Atlanta nonprofits clean, fund-accurate books and the financial clarity your board, funders, and auditors expect — without hiring a full-time finance director.
You focus on the mission. We’ll handle the financial architecture behind it.
What does EFP actually do for your organization?
More than basic bookkeeping — EFP acts as your nonprofit’s financial back office, built around the accountability your funders and board expect.
Fund accounting
Restricted and unrestricted funds tracked correctly, so you always know what dollars can be used for what.
Grant & donor reporting
Financial reporting organized by grant and funder, so compliance reporting is never a last-minute scramble.
Bookkeeping & financial reporting
Clean monthly books and nonprofit-specific financial statements built around how your organization actually operates.
Program vs. admin expense tracking
Clear visibility into your overhead ratio — the number funders and donors look at most closely.
Board-ready financial reporting
Clear, understandable financials your board can actually use to make decisions with confidence.
Audit & tax-filing readiness
Books that are clean and organized well ahead of your annual audit or tax filing, so nothing is a scramble.
EFP’s nonprofit accounting
services are built for:
- Nonprofits and mission-driven organizations that need rigorous financial oversight
- Organizations managing multiple grants or restricted donor funds
- Nonprofits preparing for an audit or an annual tax filing
- Boards that want clearer, more confident financial visibility
- Organizations that need to show funders a clear program-to-admin expense ratio
- Organizations that have outgrown a volunteer treasurer or generalist bookkeeper
We’re not the right match for very small, all-volunteer organizations with minimal transaction volume, or those that only need basic annual tax filing with no ongoing bookkeeping. If that’s where you are, we’re happy to point you in the right direction.
We’d rather be honest upfront than waste your time. That’s how we’ve built relationships in Atlanta for over 15 years.
Specialized nonprofit expertise.
Without the full-time headcount.
Most small and mid-sized Atlanta nonprofits don’t have the budget or volume to justify a full-time finance director — but they still need the expertise. There’s a smarter way.
| In-House Finance Hire | EFP for Nonprofits | |
|---|---|---|
| Annual cost | $45,000–$65,000+ salary & benefits | Fraction of the cost flexible monthly engagement |
| Fund accounting expertise | Varies by hire | Core specialty |
| Grant & board reporting | Rarely included | Included |
| Scalable as you grow | Limited — fixed capacity | Scales with you |
| Available to start | Weeks to hire | Within days |
| Commitment required | Full-time employment | Flexible engagement |
The bottom line: a specialized outside team gives most Atlanta nonprofits the same — often better — financial oversight as a full-time hire, at a fraction of the cost and without the management overhead.
Atlanta organization leaders who’ve been where you are.

Getting started is easier than you think.
Three steps from where you are now to having your organization’s books fully clear and compliant. The first one costs you nothing.
Free books & fund accounting review
A 30-minute conversation about your organization’s current bookkeeping and fund tracking, and where the gaps are. No pitch, no pressure.
Compliance & books assessment
We review your books and fund structure, identify the gaps, and map out exactly what a clean setup would look like for your organization.
Ongoing accounting partnership
Monthly reconciliation, reporting, and support — so your board and funders always have the clarity they expect.
Everything you want to know before you reach out.
Do you handle fund accounting for restricted and unrestricted donations?
Yes — fund accounting is a core part of what we do for nonprofit clients. We track restricted and unrestricted funds separately and correctly, so you always know what dollars can be used for what.
Can you help with grant compliance reporting?
Yes. We organize your financial reporting by grant and funder, so satisfying grant compliance requirements is never a last-minute scramble.
What’s the difference between a generalist bookkeeper and EFP for nonprofits?
A generalist bookkeeper handles standard transactions. We understand fund accounting, grant restrictions, and nonprofit financial statements — so nothing gets miscategorized or missed.
How much does nonprofit accounting cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your organization and the complexity of your funds and grants. Most nonprofit clients invest a fraction of what a full-time finance hire would cost. We’re upfront about pricing on your free call.
Can you help us prepare our books for an audit or annual tax filing?
Absolutely. A clean catch-up and audit-ready setup is one of the most common ways organizations start working with us, especially ahead of a Form 990 filing or funder-required audit.
Do you only work with Atlanta nonprofits?
We’re Atlanta-based and know this market well, but our accounting and bookkeeping services are fully remote-capable, and we work with organizations across the country.
