Restricted vs. unrestricted
Every grant dollar, tracked to the right fund
Mixing restricted and unrestricted money is the fastest way to lose a funder's trust. We keep them cleanly separated, with a budget and balance for every grant.
- Per-grant tracking — each fund with its own budget, spend, and balance.
- Funder-ready reports — pull a clean report for any grant in minutes.
- A clean audit trail — every transaction coded and documented.

When the books are reconciled every month and the documentation is already organized, audits and T3010 filing stop being a fire drill.
- Monthly reconciliation — no year-end backlog, ever.
- T3010 prepared & reviewed — accurate and on deadline.

Why ABukhari
A finance specialist, not a generalist with a spreadsheet
Most bookkeepers treat a charity like any other small business. They miss restricted funds, fumble the T3010, and hand boards reports no one can read.
ABukhari Financial is different. With more than 14 years in nonprofit and charity finance — including multi-funder grant portfolios — fund accounting, funder compliance, and audit coordination aren't a stretch for us, they're the whole point. Business clients get that same discipline: accurate books, filings that are never late, and someone who can explain what the numbers mean.

FAQ
Questions nonprofits ask us
Do you replace our accountant or auditor?
No — we handle your day-to-day bookkeeping, compliance, and reporting, and we work alongside your CPA or auditor. By keeping your books clean year-round, we make their job faster and your year-end smoother.
How do you handle restricted and grant funding?
We track every fund separately, with its own budget and balance, so restricted dollars are never mixed with unrestricted money. That means funder reports are accurate and ready whenever you need them.
Can you prepare our T3010 charity return?
Yes. We prepare and review your T3010, keep your CRA deadlines tracked, and make sure your filings line up with your books — no last-minute scramble.
Is our financial data secure?
Your data stays in reputable, access-controlled cloud accounting platforms, protected by signed confidentiality agreements and reviewed by your lead accountant on every file.
Do you work with businesses as well as nonprofits?
Yes. Nonprofits and charities are our specialty, and we also provide full-cycle bookkeeping, payroll, GST/HST and year-end preparation for small and medium businesses. See business services for details.
How much does it cost?
Fixed monthly packages start at $350 for businesses and $450 for nonprofits, scoped to your size and needs — no hourly billing or surprise invoices. See packages for details.
