Flexible Finance Support

Project details

What we need
  • Ongoing finance support for 10-15 hours over the course of 4 weeks
  • Support may include: budgeting, planning, systems set up and review
  • Note: We devised this project to connect nonprofits and volunteers for more flexible, more immediate impact. We strongly suggest you start with 4 weeks and decide from there if you'd like to continue working.
Additional details

We need someone who would be able to help us with the following during a period where we transition from a contractor to a non-profit CPA firm:
Reconcile our bank accounts for the last 4 months
Post Payroll data from Paychex into QBO
Enter grants accounting into QBO and generate financial reports for the first quarter of 2020.

What we have in place
  • We currently have our Operations Manager entering Income and Expenses into QBO, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have the ability to talk with our leaving consultant bookkeeper, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,094 , allowing us to use this money to support the latinx entrepreneurs during the Covid-19 emergency to cover their basic needs or the needs of their business.

This project will enable our organization board and directors to make informed financial decisions. It will also enable us to be in a better position when applying for new grants during Covid-19 and at the same time would allow for a really smooth transition to an accounting firm by having the accounting information up to date.

Our mission

Prospera advances Latina economic empowerment through leadership development, entrepreneurship and cooperative business ownership. We believe that when women are at the forefront of our local economies, entire communities thrive.

What we do

Prospera offers leadership and entrepreneurship programs that respond to the unique challenges and the immense resourcefulness that Latina immigrant women bring. We use a popular education approach because we believe Latina women own powerful experiences that make them strong entrepreneurs and natural promoters of social change. Through our culturally specific programs and Prospera's extensive network of partners, Latina entrepreneurs access the networks, the tools and the financial resources they need to launch, grow, and become successful owners of cooperative enterprises
