Six things a nonprofit finance office has to produce every year, plus anything else it needs built.
Leap builds each one from the same general ledger export, so nothing has to be entered twice.
Schedule of federal awards
A nonprofit that spends $1,000,000 or more in federal funds in a year has to produce a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards for its Single Audit: every federal award, its assistance listing number, and every dollar spent against it, reconciled back to the general ledger by hand.
Leap reads your general ledger export and groups every federal expenditure by assistance listing number and awarding agency. It reconciles the schedule back to your books and flags uncoded federal spend, overspend, and likely major programs before your auditor sees them.
An audit-ready Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, reconciled to the dollar, with a clean print package ready for the audit file.
Cost allocation across grants
A shared cost, a program director's salary or the office rent, has to be split across every grant it benefits, using a method your auditor can trace, and redone every time a grant starts or ends.
Leap applies the allocation method your organization already uses, splits every shared cost across the grants and cost pools it belongs to, and reconciles each pool back to the general ledger.
A documented cost allocation schedule, with each grant's share traceable to the method and the transaction behind it.
Funder reporting
Every funder wants its own report, in its own format, on its own schedule, built from the same underlying numbers your organization already keeps for itself.
Leap maps your general ledger to each funder's required categories and produces the report in the format that funder actually asks for, not a generic export you have to reformat by hand.
A finished funder report, ready to submit, for every funder on your list.
Time and effort certification
Federal rules require every employee paid from a federal award to certify that the effort they charged matches the work they actually did, tracked and signed on a schedule, with variances explained.
Leap reconciles charged effort against certified effort for every employee and funding source, confirms one hundred percent of each employee's time is accounted for, and flags variances and missing signatures.
A complete time and effort file, ready for your auditor, with every certification accounted for.
Drawdown and reimbursement
Pulling down federal cash or requesting reimbursement means matching every dollar requested to an expense that has actually been incurred, on the timeline the funder allows, without over-drawing or leaving cash on the table.
Leap matches each drawdown or reimbursement request to the expenditures behind it, checks the request against what the ledger actually shows was spent, and flags any request that would draw more than the organization has spent.
A drawdown or reimbursement request backed by the numbers, ready to submit the same day.
Federal Audit Clearinghouse filing
The Data Collection Form and the federal awards section are due to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within 30 days of the auditor's report, or nine months after fiscal year end, whichever comes first, filed by the organization's own certifying official, not the audit firm, once the auditor has set the major-program list and coverage percentage.
Leap builds the federal awards section in the Clearinghouse's own column order, runs the major-program threshold and the 40 percent coverage test against your own numbers before the auditor does, and tracks the filing deadline against your fiscal year end.
A federal awards section ready for fac.gov, the coverage math already checked, and the nine-step submission checklist for your certifying official.
Built for your finance office
Every nonprofit finance office has three or four workflows nobody sells software for: the board packet that takes a week each quarter, the restricted-fund release schedule kept in a spreadsheet, the subrecipient monitoring log, the indirect cost rate proposal that comes around every year. They get done by hand because nothing fits.
Tell us the workflow and hand us the export it runs on. We build it into Leap for your organization, on your ledger's columns and your funders' formats, and we run it with you the first time it matters. The usual turnaround is two to four weeks.
A working tool your office uses every month, with a named person standing behind it, priced as the custom plan on the pricing page.
