Operational Audits

We assess your entire back office infrastructure—finance, human resources, technology, administration, and governance—to identify inefficiencies and opportunities for streamlining your internal systems and processes.

Assessment: We kick off the audit by gathering information and independently assessing your internal systems.
Interviews: We dive deeper into your operations by interviewing leadership and key personnel.
Audit Report: We present an audit report consisting of recommendations for improvement, as well as time- and cost-saving opportunities.

Our goal is to enable nonprofits to be impactful by professionalizing their back-offices. Operational audits have saved our clients over 5,000 hours per year—hours that they have redirected to their core mission.

Is an Operational Audit the Right Fit for Your Nonprofit?

Operational audits can be a powerful tool to professionalize your back office. Consider an operational audit if:

You're established: Having at least one year of operation and five or more staff members provides valuable data and context for the audit.
Efficiency matters: You're committed to identifying and eliminating internal inefficiencies that hinder your progress.
Scaling: If you're in the process of scaling up, audits can be invaluable to ensure that your systems are robust enough to support your growth.
Focus is key: You want to redirect time and resources from internal processes to the heart of your mission—delivering impactful programs.

However, an operational audit may not be ideal if:

You're just starting out: Early-stage organizations are still establishing their foundation and we recommend they focus on the back office setup.
Change is challenging: You're resistant to adapting existing practices, even if inefficiencies are present.

We welcome you to reach out if you're unsure whether an audit is the right fit for you.
