When this nonprofit came to MBS Accountancy, their in-house controller was struggling to balance their core responsibility, including grant acquisition and grant billing, with accounting tasks. Juggling this immense workload caused the controller to make billing errors that eventually resulted in the nonprofit facing an eventual shutdown
