Outsourced Solutions for Not-for-Profit Organizations

Name: OUT Nonprofit Orgs
Brand: EisnerAmper

Integrated finance, technology, HR, and growth support for organizations focused on mission-fulfillment, not overhead.

A donor sends a six-figure gift with restrictions on how it can be spent. A federal grantor requires a single audit, which the organization has never been through. The board wants monthly financials, but the accounting team is still reconciling last quarter. Meanwhile, the executive director is trying to launch a capital campaign, hire a development director, and evaluate whether the organization's cybersecurity posture is where it needs to be.

Whether your organization needs to build an operational function from scratch or strengthen a team that is already in place, EisnerAmper's outsourced services platform can help. We work across finance, technology, human resources, and marketing, acting as an extension of your staff or supplementing your existing teams with additional capacity and capabilities. Some clients rely on us to run entire functions; others bring us in alongside an in-house director who needs deeper bench strength or coverage in areas their team does not have.

Finance & Accounting

Every dollar in a nonprofit has a story attached to it: who gave it, what it can be spent on, and who needs to see how it was used. We handle the accounting that makes those stories auditable, whether that means running the full finance function or working alongside your controller or CFO to fill capacity or coverage gaps.

Fund accounting and restricted/unrestricted revenue tracking
Grant accounting, grant writing, compliance, and OMB Uniform Guidance support
Form 990 preparation and tax-exempt compliance
Monthly close, financial reporting, and board-ready packages
Budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management
CFO-level strategic guidance for executive directors and boards

Technology & AI

Nonprofits depend on donor databases, grant tracking platforms, and program management tools. Some organizations have no IT support at all; others have an IT coordinator or manager who needs backup on security, vendor management, or larger projects. We scale to fit either scenario.

Managed IT services and help desk
Cybersecurity, threat monitoring, and incident response
Donor management and CRM system support
Data and AI enablement for program reporting and fundraising analytics
Virtual CIO for organization-wide technology strategy

Human Resources

Nonprofit HR covers a wide range: recruiting program staff, administering benefits that help retain talent in a competitive market, managing compliance across full-time and part-time employees, and sometimes coordinating large volunteer networks. We support organizations that need a full-outsourced HR function and those with an HR director who needs additional capacity for recruiting, benefits administration, or compensation analysis.

HR operations and employment compliance
Staff recruiting and onboarding
Payroll administration
Benefits design and administration
Compensation benchmarking for nonprofit roles

Growth & Marketing

Growing a donor base, raising public awareness, and attracting corporate sponsors takes sustained marketing effort. For organizations without a marketing team, we provide full-function marketing. For those with a development or communications director already in place, we supplement with strategic leadership, campaign execution, or digital capabilities they may not have in-house.

More Than Outsourcing

When you work with EisnerAmper on outsourced services, you are not just getting an accounting team or an IT team. You are working with a firm that has served not-for-profit organizations for more than 50 years across audit, tax, advisory, and outsourcing. That means if a question comes up that goes beyond the scope of your outsourced engagement, we can connect you with the right professional without you having to find another firm.

A grant compliance question during the monthly close can be routed to our advisory team. A tax-exempt status issue that surfaces during bookkeeping can go directly to our tax professionals. Our assurance group can address an internal control concern. It is one relationship that spans every service your organization might need.

Our team brings direct experience with:

Fund accounting structures and restricted gift compliance
OMB Uniform Guidance and single audit requirements
Form 990 reporting and maintaining tax-exempt status
Donor, grantor, and board reporting expectations
Internal control assessment and fraud prevention for nonprofits
FASB pronouncements specific to not-for-profit organizations

When Organizations Typically Engage Us

Growth Beyond Current Capacity

Organizations expanding programs, adding locations, or receiving large new grants need operational infrastructure that can keep pace. We provide that support whether the organization needs to build a function from the ground up or add capacity to an existing team.

Staff Turnover or Key Vacancies

When a CFO, controller, or IT lead departs, the gap is felt immediately. Outsourced support provides continuity while the organization fills the role, and can remain in place afterward to supplement the new hire.

Audit Readiness & Compliance Pressure

Organizations preparing for single audits, responding to new OMB requirements, or facing increased scrutiny from donors and grantors need clean books, documented controls, and a team that has been through the process before.

Mission Focus

Organizations that want staff to spend more time on programs, fundraising, and community impact. Outsourcing operational functions lets leadership redirect internal resources toward the work the organization was created to do.

Integrated Support Model

Not-for-profit clients often start with one service and add others as needs evolve. An organization might bring in outsourced accounting to get through a single audit, then add managed IT after a security concern, then engage fundraising support ahead of a capital campaign. This incremental approach lets organizations build capacity at their own pace without committing to large-scale internal hiring.
