Shared Services
Accounting, Bookkeeping, and Payroll (2025)
Purpose
To provide accessible, equity-centered financial services and strengthen the financial literacy of nonprofits so that they can focus on mission-driven impact.
Pricing
Shared Services is built on a tailored fee structure to accommodate various organizational budget sizes and needs. At this time, the organizations eligible for Shared Services are small and mid-sized organizations with a budget between $350,000 and $3,000,000.
Accounting, Bookkeeping, and Payroll
The percentage for each organizational budget applies to all budgets up until the next column. For instance, if your organization has a budget of $750,000 and chooses to utilize our accounting and bookkeeping services, your organization would still pay 5% of your organizational budget (which would be $3,125 monthly or $37,500 annually). Organizations will be charged a 1-month set-up fee, in addition to monthly fees.
About Shared Services
Nonprofit organizations do critical work in shifting the lives of people and communities. Yet, this work, although rewarding, can be complex and challenging. From staff capacity concerns to operational gaps, we meet these challenges by investing in the administrative, financial, and organizational resources nonprofit organizations need to thrive. Through Shared Services, we provide the resources that nonprofits need to mitigate these challenges.
Our Services
TSNE’s Shared Services provides essential administrative and operational support to small and midsized nonprofits (that have their own 501(c)(3) status).
Our work is dedicated to uplifting small and mid-sized nonprofits working towards a just and equitable world. We are also focusing on serving Black, Indigenous, and/or Person/People of Color (BIPOC)-led and serving organizations and nonprofit organizations in New England.
Our Approach
Get in Touch
No matter the challenges or difficulties you might be experiencing as a nonprofit organization, we bring a service-oriented lens to help you navigate challenges. We want to work with you to learn new administrative, financial, and operational strategies that will help your organization grow its impact.
If you or your organization struggle to hire and retain knowledgeable and effective finance, bookkeeping, or payroll staff, or spend hours on accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll management that can be better spent on direct mission-oriented work, Shared Services may be a good fit for you.
Get in touch with us by emailing sharedservices@tsne.org.
As a nonprofit organization working across the sector for more than 65 years, we understand these challenges well. TSNE’s Shared Services program provides the foundational support small to mid-sized nonprofits, particularly BIPOC-led and/or serving organizations, need to navigate challenges and ultimately meet their missions. Each Shared Services organization works with a dedicated manager and accountant who will not only work to provide accurate and timely financial information but also support organizations in building financial literacy if that is something the organization needs.
