Apples To Apples Bookkeeping

For almost two decades I have effectively and strategically managed billions of dollars in U.S. government funds. Now, as a Virtual Bookkeeper for Nonprofits, I take all of that expertise and pour it into not-for-profit organizations like yours, helping your NPOs funding work smarter and harder and focused on your core mission, while keeping you on the right side of the government’s tangled web of rules and regulations so you keep your grants and are able to secure more. Working since 2002 at the federal government’s Centre for Disease Control and Prevention as a trusted Program/Funding Resource Specialist and Team Leader, I have developed a proven methodology for managing billions of dollars of public funds and assessing their effectiveness. It’s a rare skill set that perfectly caters to the needs of NPOs, and I’m proud to have played a role in ensuring money goes where it’s needed most, including: ~ Managed and led grants related to injury and vaccines ($17 million and $4.95 billion Vaccines for Children program) allocated to states. ~ Manage the Working Capital Funds - $215 million and $6.2 billion (COVID-19) - allocated to one of the four CDC Business Services Offices. ~ Headed Budget Planning for the Agency and received recognition for my team’s management of the CDC’s three budget submissions, totaling $6-$7 billion, during the fiscal year. In my experience, 501(c)(3) organizations struggle to manage funds properly - the heavy demands of day-to-day funds management and strict compliance regulations, coupled with replying to donor/funder requests can be too much to handle. This can push NPOs into survival and crisis mode, rather than long-term strategic planning that allows organizations to thrive. And this is where Apples to Apples Bookkeeping comes in. We take all of the complicated financial responsibilities off your plate, and leave you to focus on the mission.
