6 Reasons You’ll Want to Work With Us 

Accurate & Auditable

Accurate & Auditable

Non-profit accounting is difficult. In fact, many CPAs fail to even understand it, and most accountants steer clear of it. At Daily Balance, it’s all we do and quality-consistency is our specialty. Because of that, you can rest assured that your books will be accurate and auditable.
Quick & Responsive

Quick & Responsive

We are just as responsive as an in-house bookkeeper would be, but we go a step further. Because we know the non-profit industry so well, we’ll stay on top of it all so you can focus on people and your mission. We provide rapid communication through Microsoft Teams so it’s like we’re working right next to you. In most cases, you can expect a reply within seconds!
No Downtime

No Downtime

You’ll receive one point of contact, but you’ll also have access to our team so that there is never any down time. 

We internally cross-train so that even if your contact is out, you’ll always get the quick responses you deserve.

Our name says it all: Daily Balance. We serve our clients daily so they never have to worry about key person risk again.

Save Up to 40_

Save Up to 40%

By outsourcing your accounting department to Daily Balance, you can save up to 40% on your accounting costs, while getting better expertise, service, and value. 
In-housing a full-time data entry person, bookkeeper, and an accountant means you’ll have to pay their salaries, payroll taxes, benefits, 401-K contributions, insurance, paid time off, workman’s comp insurance, training and administration expenses, and overhead costs (space, equipment, etc).

By hiring us, you’ll simply pay a flat monthly fee, which is often already included in your program funding anyway.

Financial Audit Representation

Financial Audit Representation

As your advocate, we handle your annual financial audits and will answer ALL of the hundreds of questions the auditor will have on your behalf. You’ll be happy to know that you most likely won’t even need to be part of the process.

You can stop feeling anxious and rest assured because we’ll make sure there are no surprises when your audit comes around.

Increase Your Funding

Increase Your Funding

As a non-profit, the backbone of your organization is funding, and that only comes as a result of accurate and meticulous books.

You no longer have to endure missed grant opportunities because you fail to have all the financials in place.

Your funders will be so happy to receive your accurate and unquestionable financials, and so will your future funders, because as your CFO adviser, we’ll guide and advise you on how to diversify with new funding.

Plus, You’ll Be Able To…

Loved by Auditing Firms

“Because of Daily Balance’s efforts we are able to perform our audits, reviews and 990 tax filings with the highest level of efficiency.”

FAQs

Are there specific California regulations that affect nonprofit accounting?
Yes. California nonprofits must comply with state-specific rules, such as registering with the Attorney General’s Registry of Charitable Trusts and filing annual Form RRF-1. They also must follow California’s nonprofit corporate laws and adhere to state-specific financial reporting and transparency requirements.
What financial statements are required for nonprofits?
Nonprofits should prepare a Statement of Financial Position (balance sheet), Statement of Activities (income statement), Statement of Functional Expenses, and Statement of Cash Flows. These reports help stakeholders assess the organization’s financial health and operational effectiveness.
Do Stockton nonprofits need an audit?
Not all nonprofits require an audit, but California law mandates one if a nonprofit receives $2 million or more in gross revenue annually. Even if not legally required, audits can increase donor confidence and ensure proper financial oversight.
How can a nonprofit in Stockton maintain tax-exempt status?
To maintain federal and state tax-exempt status, nonprofits must file annual IRS Form 990 and California Form 199. They should also keep good records, avoid political campaigning, and use funds strictly for their mission-aligned purposes.
Are there local resources for nonprofit financial guidance in Stockton?
Yes. Local organizations like the San Joaquin Community Foundation and regional offices of the Small Business Development Center offer financial training, workshops, and advisory services tailored to nonprofits operating in Stockton and the Central Valley.
Should Stockton nonprofits outsource their accounting?
Yes, especially if internal resources are limited. Outsourced nonprofit accounting firms bring expertise in compliance, reporting, and grant tracking, which can help organizations in Stockton save time, reduce errors, and improve financial transparency.
How often should a nonprofit reconcile its accounts?
Accounts should be reconciled monthly to ensure accuracy and detect discrepancies early. Timely reconciliations support sound internal controls, help meet filing deadlines, and keep the board updated on the organization’s financial position.
