A nationally recognized nonprofit—well known for its work in social impact—faced a tough moment. Key HR and finance leaders had recently departed. The organization’s ERP system was failing. Financial reporting was delayed. And the team was struggling to stay compliant with critical government grant requirements.
All of this at a time when steady operations and transparency were essential to maintaining funding and program momentum.
With a broken back office and no permanent leadership in place, the organization needed help—and fast.
The Solution: Strategic Interim Support and Long-Term Back-Office Rebuild
That’s where Ravix stepped in.
Over the course of three years, Ravix Group became a true extension of the nonprofit’s internal team—guiding them through transitions, building new systems, and laying the foundation for sustainable success.
Here’s how it worked:
✅ Clean, On-Time Audits—Year After Year
Ravix transformed what had been a chronically delayed audit process into a reliable, audit-ready routine. The result? Timely audits, clean reports, and renewed funder confidence.
✅ Payroll and HR Continuity
When the head of HR left, Ravix stepped in to run payroll without disruption and helped recruit and hire a full-time replacement. Interim leadership ensured compliance and continuity throughout the transition.
✅ Stabilized Teams, Hired the Right People
Ravix placed interim accounting and HR professionals quickly, keeping daily operations on track. They then recruited and trained long-term hires—ensuring handoffs were seamless and effective.
✅ Modernized Systems (and Reclaimed Countless Hours)
The outdated ERP and payroll systems were replaced with Sage Intacct and an upgraded payroll platform. The shift reduced manual work, improved reporting accuracy, and enabled project-based time tracking—critical for nonprofit accounting and grant compliance.
✅ Fractional CFO Leadership
Ravix provided interim CFO services for three years. From budgeting to federal indirect rate negotiations, this leadership stabilized finance operations during a vulnerable time.
✅ Financial Department Redesign
After assessing team structure and skill gaps, Ravix recommended an org redesign and led the recruitment of a permanent CFO.
✅ Deep Compliance and Reporting Expertise
The team managed financial planning and analysis, grant audit prep, and reporting for major funders—ensuring no detail was missed and no deadline was blown.
Let’s talk about how we can help you focus on impact—not back-office stress.
