About Mission First Operations

About MFO Nonprofit Accounting

Nonprofits do their best work when they're focused on their mission — not buried in spreadsheets or worried about compliance. MFO Nonprofit Accounting exists to handle the back office so your team can stay focused on what matters most.

We are a specialized accounting firm serving nonprofits exclusively. Founded in 2018, we've grown to support over 150 nonprofit clients across the country with a dedicated team of accounting professionals who understand the unique financial landscape of the sector — from fund accounting and grant reporting to board-ready financial statements.

Our Services We offer a comprehensive suite of internal accounting services, including bookkeeping, financial reporting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, financial advisory, and payroll & HR support. We do not perform audit or tax work, but we collaborate seamlessly with your auditors and tax preparers.

Why MFO Every client is assigned a dedicated Nonprofit Controller backed by a full team — senior accountants, payroll specialists, and CFO-level advisors. You get the depth of a fully-staffed finance department without the overhead of building one in-house. We use best-in-class cloud technology, including QuickBooks Online and Ramp, to deliver accurate, timely reporting your leadership team can actually use.

We are reliable, proactive, and deeply engaged with the organizations we serve. Our average client tenure speaks for itself.

We’ve been using Mission First for controller services for our nonprofit, Ten Ten Life, ever since our founding. Everyone that we’ve interacted with has been very knowledgeable, personable, and great to work with. They’ve been very responsive to time sensitive needs, and have freed up untold hours of work that has allowed us to focus primarily on our operations.

We have been Mission First customers since they launched in 2018 and their services continue to exceed our expectations. The staff is responsive to our questions and needs and demonstrate a deep understanding of accounting and finance requirements in the non-profit space. In 2022, we launched a related entity and MFO provided exceptional advice and counsel throughout that process. They continue to grow with us and provide reliable and creative solutions for our team.

It has been great working with Mission First Operations. We've used Mission First Operations since kicking off our operations. They helped us set up accurate and professional systems and have also been able to weigh in on more complex accounting and operations questions we've encountered. Working with them feels like more of an extension of your team than alternative bookkeepers. Would highly recommend them.
