FOR SMALL NONPROFITS

Get your nonprofit's books back on track.

You don't have to figure it out alone.

Behind on bookkeeping? Unsure whether the numbers are right? Spending too much time piecing together what happened last month?
Mazlo helps small nonprofits get their financial operations organized, with hands-on support and a simplified way to manage payments, expenses, grants and the information your books depend on.
Start with what's not working. You don't need to have it all figured out before we talk.

Your nonprofit is doing important work. Keeping the books shouldn't feel this hard.

Maybe you inherited a system nobody fully explained.
Maybe your bookkeeper is waiting on information, your receipts are scattered, and the spreadsheet that holds everything together only makes sense to one person.
Or maybe the books look complete, but you still struggle to answer a basic question:
How much do we actually have available for the work we need to do?
You don't need another place to enter the same information. You need a clearer connection between the money moving through your organization and the records that explain it.
That is where Mazlo helps.

Get organized today. Build a better way to stay organized.

Mazlo brings everyday financial work together: requesting a payment, attaching documentation, getting approval, assigning the right program or fund, reporting on grants, and keeping that information connected.
Instead of reconstructing the story of an expense weeks later, your team can capture the details as the work happens.

Give your money a structure that makes sense.

Organize financial activity around your nonprofit's programs, projects, and funds. Track restricted and unrestricted money, issue spend cards with controls, assign accounting codes, and split transactions where needed, without relying on a separate explanation for every payment.

Spend less time asking, "What was this for?"

Bring payment requests, supporting documents, and approvals into the same workflow. Give the people making purchases a clear way to provide the information finance needs, rather than leaving someone to chase it down later.

Give your bookkeeper better information to work with.

Mazlo connects with QuickBooks Online so coded financial activity can move into your accounting system without the same manual export-and-upload routine.

Your bookkeeper can work from more organized information instead of repeatedly rebuilding the context behind each transaction.

See what is happening before the next report arrives.

View balances and financial activity by program or person. Give the right people access while keeping oversight with your finance team.

A clearer view of everyday finances makes it easier to identify questions early and have more useful conversations about what comes next.

From months behind to a more manageable financial routine.

How Base got back on track with Mazlo
Base, an artist-led nonprofit, was managing its finances across a community bank, an outside bookkeeper, QuickBooks, and other disconnected tools.
As bookkeeping fell behind, financial answers did too. Catching up meant cleaning exports, uploading transactions, and asking teammates about old purchases.
With Mazlo, Base introduced shared payment requests, a financial structure that reflected its programs, and a direct QuickBooks Online connection.

A better setup starts with understanding yours.

Start with what is not working.

Tell us where things are getting stuck. That might be missing information, confusing categories, delayed reports, or too much work moving data between systems.
We'll talk through whether Mazlo is the right fit and what support the transition would require.

Put a practical structure in place.

Set up your programs, funds, accounting categories, and team permissions around how your nonprofit actually works.
Mazlo's onboarding support helps you connect the pieces rather than leaving you to configure everything on your own.

Make the everyday work easier to maintain.

Give your team a consistent way to request payments, provide receipts, and supply the details needed for review.
The goal is not simply to catch up once. It is to make the next month easier to manage than the last.

Keep QuickBooks. Improve what goes into it.

You do not have to abandon your accounting system to improve your financial operations.
Mazlo supports the everyday work around your books: moving money, organizing documentation, applying codes, and giving your team visibility.
QuickBooks Online can remain your accounting system, with your bookkeeper or accountant responsible for the accounting review and close.
Less reconstructing what happened. More useful information to work from.

Questions you might be asking

Plus IconMinus Icon

Can you help us get organized and clean up our books?

You don't have to figure out the transition on your own.
Our team specializes in helping nonprofits establish well-kept books, strong financial processes, and clear, real-time numbers. We help you understand what needs attention and guide you toward a setup your team can confidently maintain.

When additional hands-on support is needed, we can bring in a project manager to organize the work and coordinate the transition, as well as bookkeeping professionals to help clean up your existing records.

Our costs are reasonable. More importantly, this is an investment in establishing great systems, processes, and books—not simply paying to catch up again.

Do we need to clean up our books before talking to Mazlo?

No. Start by telling us where things stand.

Whether you're months behind, dealing with confusing records, or simply unsure what needs fixing, we'll help you identify a practical starting point. Getting organized is part of the work we can help you with, not a prerequisite for the conversation.

Does Mazlo replace our bookkeeper or accountant?

Mazlo works alongside your bookkeeper or accountant, giving them better-organized information and a more connected financial workflow.

Your accounting professional can focus on reviewing the books, making accounting decisions, and preparing financial statements and filings, rather than repeatedly chasing receipts and reconstructing transactions.

When you need additional help with cleanup or the transition, we can bring in that support.

We have already paid someone to clean things up. How is this different?

Correcting historical records and improving everyday financial operations are different jobs. A cleanup can address the past without changing the processes that caused the backlog.

Mazlo helps you address both: getting your financial records into better shape and establishing a more manageable way to handle new payments, expenses, documentation, and approvals.

The goal is not just to catch up once. It is to make staying on track easier.

Will we have to change everything at once?

No. Mazlo supports a phased transition, and you can keep your existing accounting tools, including QuickBooks Online.

We'll help you choose a starting point that fits your organization's needs and capacity, then work through the transition with you. When the work needs dedicated coordination, we can bring in a project manager to help keep it moving without leaving every detail on your plate.

You don't need to have all the answers to take the next step.

You need to know what is working, what needs attention, and how to move forward.
Tell us what is happening with your nonprofit's books. Let's see whether Mazlo can help you get back on track—and build a better way to stay there.
