Donor-funded national NGO
A practical finance transformation that connected the chart of accounts, donor tracking, budgeting, payroll, cost allocation and management reporting.
The organisation was strengthening its finance and governance architecture while managing donor-funded programmes. Legacy account structures and fragmented project tracking limited budget visibility and made consistent management reporting more difficult.
Reviewed the ledger structure, project architecture, donor reporting needs and existing control routines.
Designed a nonprofit-oriented chart of accounts linking account nature, organisational function and funding restriction.
Configured project and class tracking, budget-versus-actual reporting, payroll journals and cost-allocation logic.
Developed operating guidance, control points and management-reporting routines, supported by staff capacity building.
