What Velu Offers
Founded in January 2019, we set our mission of becoming the #1 provider of CFO services for nonprofits in the United States. Our ideal clients are small to medium sized businesses and their
leaders who want to focus their efforts on the mission of their organizations, and put the important aspect of accounting and tax into the hands of someone who views themselves as team member with expertise in that field.
We believe the financial well-being of your organization involves more than just the day-to-day
accounting and compliance efforts. It takes being a proactive professional who can think outside of the box. It requires someone who cares about the mission of the organization and has the ability to convey its message through a financial perspective to all internal and external stakeholders.
Not every business runs the same or has the same needs. Our process starts by asking the relevant questions and listening. We use that information to develop a game plan with timelines so expectations are clear. We believe a strong foundation is the key to reaching new heights!
Topics such as the best accounting software to use, developing a customized chart of accounts, key financial policies, internal controls and financial procedures, cloud technology, and automation are
just some of the areas that define the form and function of your back office. We look to ensure these areas are operating at top efficiency right away.
With the foundation built we can dive into the more strategic areas of your business. These are things like entity structure, industry research, grant research, financial analysis, health insurance,
fringe benefits, and 401k and retirement plans. These are some of the areas you can begin to build your business from the foundation to start reaching to the sky!!
Finally, we are certified professionals. We are not salespeople...we are consultants. Our goal is to
always prepare accurate financial statements and tax returns, but we also want you to understand how these things work. After all, you are the one driving your business every day so it is crucial you are comfortable with your accounting and taxes.
Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your team!
