Also, we had some unexpected extra costs (over 1000,–) when we had to pay taxes for the foundation (strange, for a non-profit..). I'll see if we can get an accountant to check this, but also accountants are costly..

Ouch

Do you have any non-profit support organizations, local to where you have your accounts, that might be able to help for cheap or pro-bono?

Thank you for all the work you do!

    I have now asked the accountant I also use for my business, to help out with the foundation.

    Have you ever used something like Profit First accounting?

    It would give you a clearer picture of the accounting.

    Instead of financial statements or dashboards you could just check 4 account balances. Relay was giving out the book for free and they have it built in. I haven't used the Relay system, but I use PF for my freelance work and for larger project ideas.

    I know that we look for nonprofit-help everywhere we can, but I don't have a specific answer for you at this time, but I've marked this to see if we can answer you later, at least :)
