vision
To inspire, nurture and empower great causes.
just a few of the great causes we support:
NONPROFIT EXPERTISE
We have years of hands-on experience running and managing nonprofits. We provide leadership around the annual audit, multi-year grant balance tracking, and presentation of information to the board of directors. We can play a senior role in the strategic management of the organization, which includes presenting and interpreting financials for the board of directors.
“I enjoy that people have been surprised and have a sense of joy that dealing with an accountant doesn’t have to be a painful experience. When I hear, “you’re not what I expected”, I know I’m doing something right."
- BURTON LI, CEO + FOUNDER
Mission-driven
Hailing from across the globe, our team is united by a shared dedication to client partnership and accounting expertise. We are inspired by the theories of social change championed by our clients.
FORECASTING FOR
GREAT CAUSES
Strategic planning and forecasting are all about imagining what the future might hold, identifying possible trends and hurdles, and syncing them with your main goals. We believe budgeting and forecasting should serve your entire team and include the future projections of both your development and finance teams. We facilitate inclusive forecasting processes that bring transparency and keep the focus on the future rather than the past.
COLLABORATIVE. ACCESSIBLE. TRANSPARENT.
We believe our clients should be able to focus on their mission and rely on us for scaling the needs of their financial department as they grow. With Sutro Li, you’ll find a refreshing, different approach. One that is transparent and incredibly collaborative. We’re easy to reach, working remotely from New York to San Francisco to Maharashtra, India. This means you’ll have access to experts when you need them.
We’ll make sure you have the right tools for your business so that your team can interact with the daily and weekly bookkeeping process from wherever they are.
WE’RE EXPERTS, SO YOU
DON’T NEED TO BE
We understand that finance and accounting can be somewhat of a foreign language. And you might find yourself needing to speak that foreign language with your board, other stakeholders and donors. Rest assured, we will always talk to you in a way that levels the playing field. We want to talk with you, not at you. We can help you translate everything you need in order to talk to diverse stakeholders, and if you like, we can talk with them directly. You’re in good hands.
