I think outsourcing accounting services is the way of the future for nonprofits. The philanthropic world is reluctant to fund costly operations and administration because it takes dollars away from the core mission. Not only am I getting great, multi-disciplinary accounting services from Enkel, but my costs to get that level of service are way lower than they would be if I had to hire all of the people to do the work, and then manage them day-to-day.

- Rebecca Pauls, Executive Director, PLAN

The team at Enkel has been amazing to work with! With their payroll and bookkeeping support, I have been able to scale my business without worrying about spending days on spreadsheets and numbers. I know I can trust them to be thorough and professional.

- Caroline Somos, Founder, Blackbird Fabrics

Working with Enkel is just easy. I’ve used internal and external bookkeepers in my career so have seen it done both ways. The way Enkel works is ideal. The checklists and google sheets are totally automated, receipt bank works really well, the systems they use are straightforward, and everything is just simple. Last month took me 10 minutes instead of 10 hours.
