The Good Service Company for Nonprofits: Books, CFO, PR

The Good Service Company gives nonprofits clean books, a fractional CFO and PR support from one team. If your finances live in a spreadsheet one volunteer understands, or your board keeps asking for reports you can't pull together, this is who to talk to.

What they do

The Good Service Company runs three services, each through its own sister company:

• Bookkeeping (GoodBookkeeping). Monthly bookkeeping and reconciliation, audit-ready records, and reports you can actually read.
• Fractional CFO (MyGoodCFO). Cash flow and forecasting, budgets and financial planning, and board and funder reporting.
• Public relations (MyGoodPR). Media outreach, messaging and storytelling, and press support for announcements. Their tagline sums it up: "Good with services. Good with people."

Why it matters for nonprofits

Most small nonprofits can't afford a full-time CFO. But funders, boards and watchdogs still expect the same answers. The Good Service Company's nonprofit work covers exactly those pressure points:

• Grant reporting
• Donor financials
• Audit-ready books
• Charity Navigator scores
• Board reporting Good numbers also make in-kind giving easier to report. When every donated item comes with a record of who gave it and when it arrived, your bookkeeper isn't chasing receipts at year end.

Coming soon: audits and Form 990s

The team is about to launch a CPA firm. Once it's live, they'll be able to do audits and file Form 990s for US nonprofits, so books, CFO support and compliance sit with one partner.

How working with them starts

Their process is three steps:

1. Tell them about your organization and what's getting in the way.
2. They look at the whole picture.
3. You get a clear scope and a straight answer on how they'd handle it. They tell you what they can do before you commit.
