- 400% : increase in contracts in place/reimbursement managed.

​

 CHALLENGES:  

MatForce was looking for a firm with non-profit knowledge and a deep bench of expert resources (auditors, employment law professionals). MatForce wanted to be able to have files organized efficiently: for future reference, for grant reimbursement submissions, and for audits. They required a flexible firm with both on-site and off-site capabilities.

​

RESULTS:

Since Great Expectations (GE) started working with Matforce, their gross revenue has increased by 410%. According to granting agencies, Matforce's grant funding has been increased in part due to their successful audits.​

​

HOW WE HELPED:
Simplified Audit: Grant funding is the cornerstone of their funding increase. Due to the volume of federal grant expenses in fiscal year 2021, Matforce was required to participate in a single audit. With GE's help, the audit turned up no significant findings.

​

990 Preparedness: From everyday data entry to single audits and preparations for the annual 990 tax filing, GE is there to help facilitate our client's accounting needs.

​

Grant Reporting and Management: GE managed the accounting, maintained backup documentation, and facilitated timely submissions of grant reimbursements for 9 grants/contracts, 8 of which were government contracts.
