Financial Leadership, For Every Size
Spend More Time on the Mission, and with Family
Small Business
& Nonprofit
Small businesses and nonprofits face a difficult truth about financial expertise: the work requires senior judgment, but the budget rarely supports a senior hire.
Bryson Capital brings the same caliber of expertise that serves our larger clients, scaled, structured, and priced for organizations that need senior financial leadership without carrying it full-time.
What We Do
Our work meets small businesses and nonprofits across the full arc of their financial lifecycle, including:
Financial Setup & Structure
Chart of accounts design, banking and treasury setup, foundational policies
Day-to-Day Financial Operations
Month-end close, financial reporting, cash flow monitoring, AR and AP discipline, and payroll oversight
Board & Treasurer Support
Preparing board-ready financial packages, presenting to finance committees, and facilitating the board review
Fundraising & Grant Systems
Restricted fund accounting, grant tracking and reporting, donor management integration for funding partners
Audit & 990 Preparation
Readiness assessment, PBC schedule preparation, auditor coordination, and the documentation discipline
Scaling & Growth Support
Financial planning for expansion, hiring decisions, capacity analysis, banking relationships, and system upgrades
When to Engage Us
-
You're starting a business or nonprofit and want the financial foundation built right the first time
-
Your bookkeeper handles transactions well but you need someone senior thinking strategically about the numbers
-
A board treasurer needs experienced support preparing for finance committee or full board meetings
-
A major grant, funding round, loan, or capital campaign requires financial infrastructure your current setup can't support
-
Growth has outpaced your accounting systems and the monthly close is becoming unreliable
-
An upcoming audit, 990, or funder diligence review has exposed gaps that need to be closed
-
A founder, executive director, or finance lead is leaving and continuity is at risk
-
You're considering hiring a Controller or CFO and want to understand what the role should actually look like before you hire
