The treasurer’s portal, end to end
Setting the club up, keeping the money from each meeting, reconciling to the bank statement, and giving the foundation its own books.
Sharpe CPA / Videos
Short screen recordings of the two applications — the treasurer's portal for service clubs and nonprofit organizations, and the practice management application for CPA firms. No narration over slides: the actual program, with real figures, doing the thing it is for.
The treasurer's portal
Free to any organization with a 501 designation. These follow one fiscal year through the portal, in the order a treasurer actually meets the work.
Setting the club up, keeping the money from each meeting, reconciling to the bank statement, and giving the foundation its own books.
What each member gave, what was counted afterwards, what reached the bank and the checks written — and why the meeting will not show as reconciled until the three agree.
Bringing the month to agreement, and what the portal does about a difference rather than letting you close over it.
A budget adopted by the board, every check posted to its line, and what happens when a line is over or there is no budget for it at all.
What the event brought in, what it cost, what it netted against its goal, and the note that reaches next year's chair.
The filings, the forming documents and the board by year — and what the next treasurer finds already there on their first day.
Practice management
The firm's quality management system under SQMS Nos. 1 and 2, its staff and their CPE. These show the screens doing the work, not a slide deck about the standard.
What SQMS No. 1 requires of a firm with an accounting and auditing practice, and what a firm finds on its first sign-in: every quality objective the standard requires, and every specified response, already listed and waiting to be written against.
Writing what this firm actually does against each objective, with the QM citation beside it — and adding objectives of the firm's own where its circumstances call for them.
Identifying a quality risk, designing a response to it, and why a risk with no response against it is the one thing the dashboard will not let you leave alone.
Each person's hours against their own state's requirement and their own licence cycle — the 80 over two years, the 20 a year with 12 technical, ethics, the regulatory review course on its six-year cycle, and the A&A and fraud hours that follow the work rather than the licence.
Who carries the Yellow Book requirement and at which tier, how the time charged to GAGAS engagements decides it, and the exemption the firm may grant but the program will not grant for it.
Reaching the conclusion on the system for the year, what the program checks before you do, and where it says the judgement is yours and not its own.
About these
Every figure on screen is demonstration data for a firm and a club that do not exist. Nothing in these recordings is a real client, a real member or a real return.
The programs record and document decisions and say what is missing. They do not reach the conclusion for you: designing a system of quality management appropriate to a particular firm, concluding on it each year, and the club's own records and filings all remain with the people responsible for them. See the terms of use.
