For nonprofits & social enterprises
Your funding depends on proven outcomes. Your books should carry the proof.
Direct-service nonprofits, social enterprises, community lenders, community health centers: organizations whose grant renewals, contracts, and investment depend on showing results, usually to several funders at once, each with its own format. Sedoha keeps one auditable set of books beneath all of it — alongside the fund accounting you already keep — and each funder’s report draws from the same underlying records.
What Sedoha does for the organizations doing the work
Enter data once, answer every funder
Each funder’s report is generated from the same books, in that funder’s format: grant reports, contract performance, framework disclosures. When a funder mandates a reporting standard, your books produce it, not a second data-entry round.
Books built for audit, traced to people
Double-entryEvery value is recorded twice, once as where it came from and once as where it went, so the books check themselves. accounts your auditor recognizes, sitting beside the fund accounting you keep today. Every outcome figure traces to the entries beneath it, down to the household, patient, or borrower your program served.
See which strategies actually worked
Reporting proves the work happened; the books can do more. Sedoha compares your programs’ cost against the outcomes they produced, so the next budget goes to what worked, not to what reads best in a report.
You’re ready when
-
A decision depends on your outcomes
A renewal, a contract, a payor decision.
-
You report to more than one funder
Each with their own template, each asking for the same work in a different shape.
-
Your program data exists in some form
A case system, spreadsheets, survey results, loan records.
-
One person owns the numbers
Someone on your team who knows where the records live and can answer a question when a judgment needs your knowledge.
One ledger, both directions
A community lender answers in two directions at once: up to the investors and agencies that fund it, down to the borrowers it serves. On Sedoha those are the same books: the funder pack rolls up from the very entries that trace to each borrower.
The ledger and the loop
The chart of accountsThe shared map of what gets counted, the master list of accounts every entry posts to. puts financial and impact performance on one set of books. The improvement cycle tests which strategies actually move the numbers. Measurement is the means. Improvement is the point. We have been near this work a long time: our founder built Open Path, the open-source homeless-services data platform begun with the City of Boston and used by agencies across the country. And before you commit to anything, ask us to walk you through the working demonstration: a grants and impact-investment portfolio on clearly labeled synthetic data. Sedoha delivers every engagement on software it builds itself: double-entry, auditable, and open to plain-language questions.
