About the firm
GivingArc has offered nonprofit bookkeeping since September 2024. It describes itself as a small team with CPA oversight and serves 501(c)(3) organizations only, from under $50,000 to about $3 million in annual receipts. It is based in the Los Angeles area and works remotely, and it is an associate member of the California Association of Nonprofits.
Who it works with
GivingArc works in the client’s own QuickBooks Online file as an accountant user, so the organization keeps ownership of its books. Monthly work covers bank and card reconciliation, functional expense and program allocation, and optional grant and restricted fund tracking.
Services and how engagements work
Clients get price and scope in writing without a required discovery call, then grant QuickBooks access for opening balances and chart-of-accounts setup before the first monthly close. Reports, including a Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Activities, budget vs. actual and a one-page board report, arrive by the 10th business day. Service is month-to-month. GivingArc does not perform audits, reviews or compilations, process payroll or pay bills, and it answers board questions by email rather than attending meetings.
Fees
GivingArc publishes its prices: monthly bookkeeping runs $300 to $1,950, with grant tracking add-ons of $75 to $500 and restricted fund tracking at $100. Form 990-EZ starts at $500, Form 990 at $1,500, and 1099s are $30 per form.
