Excel-Based Accounting System
Project details
What we need
- Setup or update of accounting system in Excel or Google Sheets
- Training and guidelines on how to manage system and generate basic reports
Additional details
Hello,
My organization, Taproot Collaborative, is a start-up needing to set up an Excel-based financial tracking system. We are fiscally sponsored and get monthly reports from our sponsor. But we need an internal tracking system. We don't have a lot of employees, and I think the system could be created fairly quickly. We'd love some help!! You can see what we do here: www.taprootcollaborative.org.
Thanks.
What we have in place
- We currently have monthly financial reports from our fiscal sponsors, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have (nothing to add here), and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $6,094 , allowing us to hire indigenous young adults to assist in our restoration project.
We want to grow and someday divest from our fiscal sponsor. Getting guidance setting up a good, basic accounting system is key to that, as well as our fundraising and project reporting.

Testimonials
Don was great. He took on a complicated challenge and found an innovative solution. Moreover, he worked graciously offering up his skills as several iterations were hashed out, and found the patience to explain carefully how things worked, walking me through all steps to make sure I understood their function properly. It's clear that Donald is a highly experienced, qualified, and meticulous accountant. He's well-versed in creating spreadsheets using both Excel and Google docs and knows how to integrate templates in various servers. He also knows a lot of shortcuts that streamline data entry that he tenaciously passed along. Donald took on the project with gusto, losing no steam as we encountered challenges, and working long hours and often on weekends formulating solutions. I highly recommend him. I feel confident that he created a simple, elegant accounting solution that will stand the test of time and function as an essential tool that will help our recently founded organization grow in the years ahead.
