Onboard with Accounting For Good

You’re making the world better; Accounting For Good, get your passion and dedication to your cause. We’re all about supporting talented and committed organisations.

When your non-profit has a turnover over $1M or is a start-up ready to tackle more technical issues, getting on board with Accounting For Good improves your day-to-day processes and ensures high-performance support.

“A smooth onboarding process means NFPs can focus on their mission while experts take care of the numbers.”

Experience in the not-profit-sector makes a difference

With over two decades of experience, we’ve got the know-how to empower not-for-profit organisations. When you jump onboard with us, we’ll ensure the transition to our accounting services is as smooth as silk. We make it our business to keep you in the loop and provide support every step of the way.

It starts with a good ol’ chat. We like to call it a discovery session. We’ll dive deep into what your organisation is all about and determine what financial headaches you’ve been dealing with.

We’re not just here to crunch numbers; we want to understand your financial goals, too. That way, we can tailor our services to fit your organisational needs.

Once we’ve wrapped our heads around everything, we’ll create a customised proposal. Think of it as a roadmap that lays out exactly what we’ll be doing and how much it’ll cost.

We’ll kickstart the onboarding process if you’re on board (which we hope you are!). We’ll send over the documents to get the ball rolling and assign you your personal AFG Account Manager. From gathering your reporting requirements to helping with payroll details, they’ll be your go-to person, making sure everything runs like clockwork.

And don’t worry if you’re not a pro with our systems yet; we’ll get you up to speed with online or onsite training if needed.

Our primary goal

Our primary goal is to ensure you feel confident using our services so you can focus on making the differences. Whether managing your finances, implementing Xero, or providing expert accounting and consultancy advice, we have a team of highly experienced and qualified professionals dedicated to the future and sustainability of not-for-profit organisations.

Our Account Managers will work closely with you to track your progress and tweak our approach if needed.

Accounting For Good’s process when onboarding new clients is comprehensive without being overly intrusive. We take a broad brush approach, starting with reviewing the current financial systems and examining strengths and challenges, including compliance, risk, and proficiency. We catch up with key stakeholders, unpack financial activities, and review policies and procedures.

We’re here to assist you throughout the process, ensuring you achieve optimal results and align with your financial objectives. Continuous communication and responsibility are crucial to maintaining organised accounts. Our Account Managers will collaborate with you to assess outcomes and enhance our strategy.

Throughout our partnership, we’re available to provide ongoing support and guidance to your team.

At Accounting For Good, we specialise in the NFP sector. Our accounting team is made up of experts in supporting NFPs, and we offer a suite of training and support options.

If your not-for-profit needs comprehensive, compassionate and professional accounting services, Xero training or additional consultancy services, contact Accounting For Good today.

Key Takeaways

AFG works with established NFPs, not start-ups.

Accounting For Good partners with not-for-profits that already have an operating structure and turnover of around $1 million or more — ensuring they can deliver meaningful, ongoing financial support.

Onboarding begins with a tailored discovery session.

AFG doesn’t offer a generic package. They first take time to understand the organisation’s mission, challenges, systems and financial needs before designing a customised service plan.

Transitioning to AFG is designed to be seamless.

AFG manages the migration of financial data, systems and processes, ensuring the handover is smooth and that organisations experience minimal disruption during the switch.

Outsourcing to specialists frees NFPs to focus on impact.

By offloading financial administration, compliance and reporting to experts, organisations can concentrate on delivering programs and achieving their mission — while knowing the financial side is handled professionally.

FAQs

FAQs

Who is eligible to onboard with Accounting For Good?
AFG works with established not-for-profit organisations or charities — specifically those with a turnover of around AUD 1 million or more. They currently don’t onboard brand-new start-up entities.
What is the first step when we decide to engage AFG’s services?
The process begins with a “discovery session,” where AFG will talk with you to understand your organisation’s mission, challenges, and financial needs before recommending a tailored service plan.
What kind of services does AFG offer once onboarded?
Services include specialist not-for-profit accounting and bookkeeping, compliance and reporting support, and customised financial management tailored to organisations working in the NFP sector.
Will AFG help transition our current financial systems when we switch over?
Yes — part of onboarding involves making the transition as “smooth as silk.” AFG handles set-up and migration to ensure your finances are properly transferred and managed under their services.
How do we know what onboarding with AFG will cost us?
After the discovery session, AFG provides a customised proposal that outlines what services they’ll deliver and the corresponding fees — helping you know exactly what to expect.
Can AFG support organisations throughout growth or scaling phases?
Yes. AFG’s support is positioned to help NFPs not just manage current finances but also adapt if the organisation grows, becomes more complex, or takes on larger projects.
What happens if our organisation has special financial or regulatory needs?
AFG aims to tailor services based on the specific needs identified during the discovery session — providing specialised support rather than a “one-size-fits-all” accounting service.
How does onboarding with AFG improve our organization’s day-to-day operations?
By outsourcing the financial and accounting functions to specialists, your team can focus more on delivering programs and mission work, while AFG ensures the books, compliance and reporting are managed professionally and reliably.
