Build a Sustainable Bookkeeping System for HomeAhead

By the end of the project, we would like to have a stronger, more sustainable bookkeeping system implemented. This would include:

- Completing the transition from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online and setting it up appropriately for our nonprofit
- Improving and documenting key bookkeeping processes, including invoicing, payments, payroll, reconciliations, reporting, and in-kind furniture accounting, with appropriate automation and internal controls
- Establishing and beginning the transition to a practical ongoing bookkeeping model, with clear responsibilities for staff, volunteers, and/or an outsourced professional

Success would mean that HomeAhead has improved systems actually in place, responsibilities clearly assigned, and a sustainable path forward as our longtime volunteer bookkeeper retires.

Organization Mission

HomeAhead believes everyone deserves a furnished home. We provide essential furniture and household goods to individuals and families with limited financial resources, helping them create comfortable, stable homes while giving donated furniture a second life.
