eCratchit
eCratchit provides web-based outsourced accounting, accounts payable and fractional CFO services to over 150 nonprofit organizations nationwide, delivered by a team of CPAs and staff accountants.
eCratchit is an outsourced accounting and CFO services firm serving nonprofit organizations across the United States. Founded in 2000, the company delivers web-based back-office accounting - including accounts payable processing, payroll management, revenue processing, bank reconciliations and monthly financial reporting - through a dedicated "Finance Team" model that acts as a client's own finance department. It also provides fractional CFO services, audit support, budget development and financial consulting for mission-driven organizations.
The firm employs approximately 40 people, among them CPAs, staff accountants and bookkeepers with more than 30 years of experience. Its work is grounded in nonprofit accounting and GAAP rules, and it serves clients in education, community development, healthcare and social services. Over 150 nonprofit organizations are currently clients; hundreds more have been served over two decades. The accounts payable operation processes more than 10,000 transactions a month.
Technology is central to the delivery model. eCratchit built its own web-based accounting platform, a proprietary accounts payable portal giving vendors and clients transaction visibility, an online filing cabinet, and financial reporting dashboards - work it began before cloud accounting became mainstream. Clients are served nationwide, and the company frames its purpose around the principle that a strong finance function underwrites a strong mission.
