Cash Flow Advisory

When Mission and Cash Flow Collide

Nonprofits face a version of the cash flow problem that for-profit businesses rarely encounter: your revenue is largely outside your control. Grant disbursements arrive on funder timelines. Donations spike in December and disappear in February. Programs run year-round regardless of when the money comes in.

The result is an organization that does meaningful work and still can't make payroll in March, not because of poor leadership, but because the financial structure was never built to handle the timing gap between commitment and cash.

Where Cash Disappears in Nonprofits

• Grant income received months after program costs were incurred
• Seasonal giving patterns creating predictable cash crises each year
• Program cost allocation that doesn't match reporting periods
• No reserve policy. Every dollar goes out as fast as it comes in
• Payroll continuity risk during low-giving periods
• Capital expenditures funded from operating cash rather than designated reserves
