    Hi Amanda,

    Thanks for raising such an important topic—outsourcing financial functions has become a strategic lifeline for many nonprofits, especially in today’s talent-constrained environment.

    At <strong data-start=”350″ data-end=”359″>Mazlo, we work closely with nonprofits and fiscal sponsors who are rethinking how they manage their back office. For many of our partners, outsourcing key financial tasks like <strong data-start=”530″ data-end=”602″>bookkeeping, disbursements, grant tracking, and compliance reporting has delivered major time savings and risk reduction—<em data-start=”655″ data-end=”701″>but only when the right systems are in place.

    A few trends we’ve seen work well in 2025:

    <ul data-start=”748″ data-end=”1367″>

  • <strong data-start=”750″ data-end=”808″>Centralized Financial Oversight + Outsourced Execution<br data-start=”808″ data-end=”811″> Nonprofits retain strategic control (budgets, approvals, reporting) while outsourcing day-to-day transactions, reconciliations, and vendor payments.

  • <strong data-start=”965″ data-end=”1003″>Real-Time Access to Financial Data<br data-start=”1003″ data-end=”1006″> Cloud-native tools like Mazlo allow nonprofit leaders to see the full picture—across projects, grants, or programs—even when an outside provider is executing the work.

  • <strong data-start=”1179″ data-end=”1214″>Compliance Built into Workflows<br data-start=”1214″ data-end=”1217″> The most successful outsourcing setups pair people with platforms that enforce internal controls, document everything, and make audit prep painless.

  • If anyone’s looking to streamline their financial operations, we’d be happy to share how Mazlo is helping organizations modernize their back office—<strong data-start=”1517″ data-end=”1560″>without giving up visibility or control.
