Non-profits answer to funders, boards, and regulators — not just the CRA. ATS gives you fund-based bookkeeping that tracks grants and restricted funds cleanly, keeps you board- and audit-ready, and supports your annual filings, so your team can focus on the mission instead of the spreadsheet.
How is non-profit bookkeeping different from a business? Non-profits and charities use fund accounting: money is tracked by fund and by restriction, so you can show a funder exactly how their grant was spent and show your board the organization’s overall position. It also involves donation and grant tracking, board-ready reporting, and annual filings (for registered charities, the T3010). ATS sets up fund-based bookkeeping in QuickBooks or Xero and keeps it clean, transparent, and ready for your auditor and your board.
A funder wants to see their grant was spent on what they funded. A board wants a clear, honest picture of the whole organization. An auditor wants records that tie out. Non-profit bookkeeping has to serve all three at once. ATS sets up fund and grant tracking, keeps restricted and unrestricted money clearly separated, produces board-ready statements, and keeps everything organized so your annual filings and any audit go smoothly — without you living in the accounting software.
Mission-driven organizations of every size.
Transparency for funders, clarity for your board.
