Accounting for federally funded organizations & small business
Books kept current, supported, and ready for review.
Northbridge Accounting & Consulting prepares the financial records of federally funded organizations — and the businesses that want the same rigor — to a standard that withstands independent review: clear, current, and ready for the auditor before the auditor arrives.
The standard we hold
Financial records held to an audit standard — not a bookkeeping standard.
Most organizations discover the true state of their books during an audit. By then, the cost of disorder is measured in findings, delayed reimbursements, and time.
We work the other way around. Records are kept the way an experienced auditor expects to receive them — reconciled, documented, and traceable to source — so that review confirms the work rather than uncovering it.
2 CFR 200.501 · the Single Audit threshold
Expend a million dollars or more in federal awards in a fiscal year, and a Single Audit follows. How that audit goes is decided long before fieldwork — by records that are reconciled, documented, and retrievable on demand. That preparation is the core of what we do.
Where the work comes from
Grounded in the audit of Alaska Native organizations.
Adele Royal spent her career inside the federally funded world — first auditing Alaska Native corporations at KPMG, then running their accounting and finance from the inside. That fluency, on your side of the table, is the whole point of Northbridge.
Who we work with
Federally funded organizations
Tribal governments, tribal enterprises, and nonprofits under federal awards — where allowability, allocation, and audit scrutiny are routine, and the books have to prove it.
Small business
Private companies that want federal-grade discipline applied to their books: a clean monthly close and statements ready for a lender, a buyer, or a clear view of the business.
let’s talk
When your books should be ready for review, let’s talk about where they stand.
Engagements are scoped to the organization. The first conversation is simply to understand the situation and whether we are the right fit.
