## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-16 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## Short answer
> 
> The firms worth shortlisting, roughly in the order I'd call them:
> 
> **1. Jitasa** - My default first call for most small and mid-sized nonprofits. It's the largest provider that works *only* with nonprofits (1,500+ clients), and it prices as a flat monthly fee rather than hourly, which matters when your board wants a predictable budget line. Good fit from startup orgs up through fairly large ones. ([jitasagroup.com](https://www.jitasagroup.com/nonprofit-solutions/faqs), [clutch.co/profile/jitasa](https://clutch.co/profile/jitasa))
> 
> **2. Your Part-Time Controller (YPTC)** - Best choice if you're past roughly $3-5M in revenue, have a real audit, or need someone who can sit in front of your finance committee. They've been doing nonprofit-only outsourced accounting for 30+ years and staff at the controller/CFO level, not just bookkeeping. More expensive than Jitasa, and worth it when complexity is the problem.

> **3. Chazin & Company** - Fully
