Every fund tracked. Every dollar defensible.
Restricted, unrestricted, temporarily restricted. Grants, programs, designated gifts. One misclassified dollar and your board questions the report, or your funder questions you. Hiline builds fund accounting around your actual funds and programs, so every number holds up when someone asks where the money went.
Find clarity on every restricted dollar
A spreadsheet with a few tabs for "restricted" and "unrestricted" is a guess dressed up as a system, one that holds together right up until an auditor, a board member, or a funder asks a question it can't answer.
Fund accounting pain point
"There's this fund and that fund. It's pretty confusing."
"We have restricted funds that just haven't been recorded as such."
"Our income is showing as restricted, but I don't think it actually is."
"Grant money and membership money got mixed together. We have no idea which is which."
"Our account set up is inconsistent, so tracking any program is a guessing game."
The Hiline Solution
A chart of accounts built around your actual funds, grants, and programs from day one
Every restricted dollar tracked and released correctly, with nothing sitting misclassified
Real-time visibility into what's restricted, what's available, and what each grant has left
Reports built for your board and your funders, ready before they ask
Fund accounting connected to the rest of your books, living in one system
Numbers your board can actually trust
Stop guessing what's restricted
A donation coded as restricted when it isn't (or the reverse) throws off your whole balance sheet. We classify funds correctly from the start and keep restricted and unrestricted money separate, always.
Track every grant without a side spreadsheet
When grant expenses live in a spreadsheet instead of your books, nobody can say for certain what's been spent against what. We tie every transaction to the right grant, program, and class, so the answer always lives in your books.
Give your board and funders a report they trust
Nonprofits with a slow month-end close are nearly ten times more likely to lose a grant or major gift over it*. We close fast and report by fund, so your numbers are ready well before the meeting.
Stay audit-ready all year long
Reconciling once a year turns your audit into a monthlong archaeology dig. We reconcile monthly, so audit season arrives as a formality.
Ready to trust every number on your books?
Fund accounting built for how nonprofits actually work
Set up once, accurate every month after
We build your chart of accounts around your real funds, grants, and programs from the start. No retrofitting a for-profit template to fit a mission-driven budget.
Know what's restricted, what's not, and what's left
Every fund's balance updates as money comes in and goes out. We record restricted releases correctly the moment conditions are met, so your balance sheet always reflects reality.
Every grant gets its own ledger
Expenses code to the right grant, program, and class automatically. When a funder asks how much of their money is left, the answer takes a quick lookup, already tied to their grant.
Reports ready before anyone asks
Statement of activities, statement of financial position, and fund-level detail, built and ready ahead of every board meeting and funder request. No late nights reconstructing the quarter.
A real person who knows your funds by name
Your dedicated Hiline accountant learns your grants, your programs, and your restrictions from day one. When a board member or funder has a question, you get a straight answer from someone who already knows the fund, not a ticket in a queue.
